Khapia, Mountain summit in Puno Department, Peru.
Khapia rises to an elevation of 4,809 meters in the Andes Mountains, forming a broad massif near the Peru-Bolivia border and Lake Titicaca.
The mountain received official recognition as a National Cultural Heritage of Peru through resolution No. 589-2011-VMPCIC-MC, issued by the Vice Minister of Culture.
Local communities regard Khapia as an Apu, a mountain deity within Andean traditions, connecting generations through spiritual practices and ceremonies.
Travelers reach Khapia by taking a collectivo from Puno to Yunguyo, followed by a taxi ride to the mountain base for the final ascent.
The mountain spans multiple districts including Pomata, Zepita, Cuturapi, and Copani, while maintaining over 900 meters of prominence on the Peruvian side.
