In Inca mythology, this mountain and the nearby lakes, notably Sibinacocha, are believed to generate the masculine energy that nourishes Mother Earth, Pachamama. After a lengthy journey, the waters vanish into the mysterious regions of the Amazon, only to return each night to replenish the lakes and glaciers, transformed into the River of Stars or Willkamayu, recognized in the West as the Milky Way. The Chillca community, consisting of llama and alpaca herders, is celebrated as the protector of these untouched landscapes. From this location, one can embark on mountain hikes, enjoying nights in cozy lodges or tambos, with Machuracay Tambo being a highlight, on a trek known as the “Path of the Apu Ausangate.”
