Ccarhuarazo, Mountain summit in Cordillera Blanca, Peru.
Ccarhuarazo rises to an elevation of 6,025 meters, featuring steep slopes and glacial formations across its expansive mountainous terrain.
During pre-Columbian times, the mountain served as a geographical marker for indigenous populations traversing through the Andean mountain ranges.
The name originates from Quechua language elements, with 'qarwar' meaning colorful and 'azu' referring to water, reflecting local environmental features.
Mountaineers access the summit between June and August when weather conditions permit safer climbing through established routes with professional guides.
The mountain contains various mineral deposits that create distinct color patterns across its surface, visible during clear weather conditions.
