Pilanco[2][3] (possibly from the Ancash Quechua word for dam,[4]) is a mountain in the north of the Cordillera Blanca in the Andes of Peru, about 5,286 metres (17,343 ft) high.[2][3] It is located in Yuracmarca District, Huaylas Province, Ancash.[5] Pilanco lies northeast of Santa Cruz, northwest of Alpamayo and east of Millwaqucha.[2][3] Los Cedros Creek flows along its southern slopes, receiving the name Alpamayo in that section.[2][3]
