In other maps it is shown as comprising two peaks: Rocotuyo[5] (possibly from Quechua rukutu, ruqutu a plant (Capsicum pubescens), -yuq a suffix to indicate ownership,[6][7] "the one with the rukutu") of 5,749 m (18,862 ft)[5] and Rayococha[5] (or Bayoraju)[8] of 5,460 m (17,913 ft).[5][8] It is located between the provinces of Asunción Province and Carhuaz, in Ancash; southwest of mount Tarush Kancha, inside Huascarán National Park.
