Qullqi
The Qullqi is a mountain peak at an elevation of 5.038m (16,529ft) above the sea level, located in the Andes of Peru, in the Lima Region, Huarochirí Province, Huanza District.
The road to the summit, also known as Colqui, climbs up at an elevation of 4.765m above the sea level. It’s a gravel track, narrow and very steep, impassable for 2 cars at the same time and full of hairpin turns. 4x4 vehicles only. The road ends in a small town called Acobamba. Do not travel this road in severe weather conditions. Avalanches, heavy snowfalls and landslides can occur anytime, being extremely dangerous due to frequent patches of ice. The climb is simply terrible, with a notorius lack of oxygen that tests the organisms and a high degree of steepness. Most people feel altitude sickness at around 2,500-2,800 meters. Near the summit, oxygen is in short supply.
