Copap, Mountain summit in Chacas District, Peru

The Copap peak reaches an elevation of 5,570 meters above sea level within the Cordillera Blanca range of the Peruvian Andes.

Reports from 1998 documented that Copap contained the longest glacier in the Cordillera Blanca, extending seven kilometers across the mountain range.

The mountain's name originates from Quechua language, where 'qupa' refers to turquoise, reflecting the indigenous heritage of the Andean region.

Mountaineers accessing Copap require technical climbing equipment and high-altitude experience due to the challenging terrain and extreme conditions.

The mountain forms part of a glacial system that provides water resources to the surrounding valleys and agricultural communities.
