Quehuisha (possibly from Quechua for Amaranthus caudatus or for liver),[2] Quehuicha, Queshihua, or Quihuisha is a mountain in the Chila mountain range in the Andes of Peru, about 5,514 metres (18,091 ft) high (according to another source 5,170 metres (16,962 ft)).[3] It is located in the Arequipa Region, Caylloma Province, Lari District, west of the mountain Mismi.[4]
The river Callumayo originates south of Quehuisha, between the small lakes Ticllacocha (possibly from Quechua for "two-colored lake") and Jatuncocha (possibly from Quechua for "big lake") near the little village Quihnisha. It flows to the south and ends in the Colca River .
