Yanamaray lies east of Pucaraju and northeast of Lake Querococha, between Matashcu in the north and Cahuish in the south.[7]

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.[2][7]

Annual observations have shown that the Yanamarey glacier has been rapidly retreating over the last years.[8]
