MururataLocation Bolivia Range Cordillera Real (Andes) Coordinates 16°31′50″S 67°49′39″W / 16.53056°S 67.8275°WCoordinates: 16°31′50″S 67°49′39″W / 16.53056°S 67.8275°W Climbing First ascent 1937 Mururata is a mountain in the Cordillera Real of Bolivia. Approximately 35km East of La Paz, the Mururata lies to the North of the Illimani. The Mururata offers accessible climbing, as its shape does not contain difficult obstacles [1].
Local legend states that the shape of Mururata, a fairly flat-top as compared to neighboring Illimani, became that way due to an act of jealousy. Apparently Mururata was taller than the Illimani, so Illimani chopped off Mururata's head [2][3].
