Auquihuato (possibly from Quechua, awki: prince, watu: prediction, fortuneteller) is a cinder cone in the Andes of Peru, high. It is situated in the Ayacucho Region, Paucar del Sara Sara Province, on the border of the districts Colta and Oyolo. Auquihuato lies northeast of Sara Sara volcano.

== Geology == === Context === Auquihuato is surrounded by a Pliocene volcanic plateau, the cone formed on the plateau's southern margin. Sara Sara lies southwest, and Firura lies farther east. Auquihuato lies east of the main volcanic arc and is aligned with several other volcanic centres in a northwest-southeast line.
