Yanamarey (possibly from Quechua yana black, maran, maray batan or grindstone, maray to tear down, to knock down,Qhichwa Suyup Simi Pirwan Diccionario de la Nación Quechua, Consejo Educativo de la Nación Quechua "CENAQ" "black batan or grindstone") or Yanaraju is a mountain in the Cordillera Blanca in the Andes of Peru, about high. It is located between Recuay and Huari provinces, in Ancash. Yanamaray lies east of Pucaraju and northeast of Lake Querococha, between Matashcu in the north and Cahuish in the south.
The Yanamaray River originates west of the mountain. It provides Qiruqucha with the melt water of the Yanamarey glacier before it empties into Santa River.
Annual observations have shown that the Yanamarey glacier has been rapidly retreating over the last years.Jeffrey T. Bury et al., Glacier recession and human vulnerability in the Yanamarey watershed of the Cordillera Blanca, Peru, Climatic Change (2011) 105:179–206
