Shacsha, Mountain summit in Cordillera Blanca, Peru.
Shacsha reaches an elevation of 5,703 meters within the Ancash Region, featuring two distinct peaks connected by a glaciated ridge line.
The mountain gained recognition among mountaineers during the early 20th century explorations of the Cordillera Blanca range in the Peruvian Andes.
The mountain name derives from Ancash Quechua language, referring to traditional bells used by regional dancers during local festivities.
Access to Shacsha requires proper acclimatization and technical climbing equipment, with the dry season from May to September offering optimal conditions.
A small glacial lake called Shacshacocha sits at the western base of the mountain, reflecting the peak's silhouette during clear morning hours.
