Qusqu (Huancavelica)
Mountain in Peru
Qusqu (Quechua for boundary stone; nucleus; navel; heap of earth and stones; bed, dry bed of a lake,[2][3] Hispanicized spelling Josjo) is a mountain in the Chunta mountain range in the Andes of Peru, about 5,000 m (16,000 ft) high. It is located in the Huancavelica Region, Castrovirreyna Province, Castrovirreyna District, and in the Huancavelica Province, Ascensión District.[1]
The little lake northeast of Qusqu is named Yawriqucha ("needle lake", Hispanicized Yauricocha). This is where the Yawriqucha River originates. Its waters flow to the Mantaro River in the northeast.
