Wañuma (Aymara waña dry, uma water,[2] "dry water", hispanicized spelling Huañuma) is a mountain in the Andes of southern Peru, about 5,200 metres (17,060 ft) high. It is located in the Moquegua Region, Mariscal Nieto Province, Torata District, and in the Tacna Region, Candarave Province, Camilaca District. Wañuma lies south of Limani, Apachita Limani and Tutupaka, west of the Tutupaka volcano, north of Chuqi Ananta and northeast of Pumani.

Wañuma is also the name of an intermittent stream which originates near the mountain. Its waters flow to Asana River.[1]
