Notes

Local legend states that the shape of Mururata, a fairly flat-top as compared to neighbouring Illimani, became that way due to an act of jealousy. Apparently Mururata was taller than the Illimani, so Illimani chopped off Mururata's head. left|thumb|Laguna Arkhata at the foot of Mururata Another version says that Mururata looked down on the Inca. As a result the Inca was so outraged that he shot Mururata with his catapult and sent the top of Mururata away to the Altiplano to create the tallest mountain in Bolivia called Sajama.
