Raura[1][1][2][3][5] (possibly from Quechua rawra gravel)[4] is a mountain range located in the Andes of Peru, on the boundaries of the regions of Huánuco, Lima and Pasco. It extends between 10°21' and 10°31'S and 76°41' and 76°50'W for about 20 km.[5] It lies a few kilometres southeast of Huayhuash mountain range.

Lakes

Some of the largest lakes of the range are Patarcocha, Tinquicocha and Huascacocha.

Glaciers

Notable glaciated areas in this range are: Leon Huaccanan-Azuljanka,[9] which is a plateau of 10 km. long and 2½ km. wide that rises eastward, to a steep cliff in its eastern margin;[7] a tiny ice plateau at the union of the Yarupac-Torre de Cristal ridges;[7] and finally mount Santa Rosa which has the most of the remaining glacier ice.[7] Permanent snow begins at about 5000m in the northern and central parts of the range.[7]

Environmental issues

This mountain range has a bad conservation status because of mining activity in the area and the ongoing glacier retreat due to climate change.[10] Explosions and pollution of lakes are important disturbances to the local ecosystem caused by mining activity.[7] There are also abandoned facilities of other mining companies in the area.[7]
