Minasniyuq (Spanish minas mines, Quechua -ni, -yuq suffixes, [2] "the one with mines", hispanicized spelling Minasniyoc) is a mountain in the Wansu mountain range in the Andes of Peru, about 5,200 metres (17,060 ft) high. It is situated in the Arequipa Region, La Unión Province, Puyca District, and in the Cusco Region, Chumbivilcas Province, Santo Tomás District. It lies northwest of the mountain Qullpa K'uchu.

Mining is the extraction of valuable minerals or other geological materials from the earth, usually from an ore body, lode, vein, seam, reef or placer deposit. These deposits form a mineralized package that is of economic interest to the miner.

The river Qañawimayu originates between the mountains Minasniyuq and Qullpa K'uchu at a height of 4,940 metres (16,207 ft). [3] It is an important tributary of the Apurímac River, the source of the Amazon River.
Qañawimayu which upstream is called Cayacti and downstream successively is named Jaraucata, Qullpa(Collpa), Yawina(Yavina) and Santo Tomás River is a river in Peru. It is located in the Apurímac Region, Cotabambas Province, and in the Cusco Region, Chumbivilcas Province and Paruro Province. It belongs to the Apurímac watershed.
The Apurímac River rises from glacial meltwater of the ridge of the Mismi, a 5,597-metre-high (18,363 ft) mountain in the Arequipa Province in the south-western mountain ranges of Peru, 10 km (6.2 mi) from the village Caylloma, and less than 160 km (99 mi) from the Pacific coast. It flows generally northwest past Cusco in narrow gorges with depths of up to 3,000 m, twice as deep as the Grand Canyon, its course interrupted by falls and rapids. Of the six attempts so far to travel the Apurímac in its full length, only two have been successful.
The Amazon River in South America is the largest river by discharge volume of water in the world, and by some definitions it is the longest.
