Ñañu Wayq'u (Quechua ñañu thin (cylindrical objects), slim, wayq'u brook,[2] "thin brook", Hispanicized spelling Nañuhuaico) is a 4,932-metre-high (16,181 ft) mountain in the Willkapampa mountain range in the Andes of Peru. It is located in the Cusco Region, La Convención Province, Vilcabamba District. Ñañu Wayq'u lies northwest of a mountain named Suyruqucha and north of a lake of that name, northeast of P'anta.[1][3]

Ñañu Wayq'u (erroneously spelled Nunahuayco) is also the name of a stream which originates north of the mountain. It is a left affluent of the Hatun Wayq'u ("big brook") in the north whose waters flow to the Apurímac River as a right tributary.
