It's located at La Yesera, Los Andes Department, Valparaíso Region, at the Central Andes. The mountain hosts several glaciers including Juncal Norte and Juncal Sur Glacier.[2]

Elevation

It has an official height of 5965 meters[3]Based on the elevation provided by the available Digital elevation models, SRTM2 (5940m[4]), ASTER (5918m[5]), TanDEM-X(5905m with voids[6]), Juncal is about 5953 meters above sea level.[7][8]

The height of the nearest key col is 5120 meters,[9] so its prominence is 833 meters. Juncal is listed as subgroup or massif, based on the Dominance system [10] and its dominance is 13.99%. Its parent peak is Nevado Plomo and the Topographic isolation is 6.6 kilometers. [11] This information was obtained during a research by Suzanne Imber in 2014.[12]
