Lasu Tumi (local Quechua lasu (rasu) snow, ice, mountain with snow, tumi (historical) knife,[2][3][4] "mountain knife", also spelled Lazo Tumi) is a mountain in Peru, about 5,200 m (17,100 ft) high. It is located in the Junín Region, Huancayo Province, Pariahuanca District. It lies northeast of a mountain named Ututuyuq (Quechua ututu a small viper, -yuq a suffix, "the one with the ututu", erroneously also spelled Litutoyo).[1]
