Kiwicha (Quechua for Amaranthus caudatus) or K'iwicha (Quechua for liver)[2] (hispanicized spellings Quehuicha, Quehuisha, Queshihua, Quihuisha) is a mountain in the Ch'ila 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 Qallumayu originates south of Kiwicha, between the small lakes Tikllaqucha (Quechua for "two-colored lake", hispanicized Ticllacocha) and Hatunqucha (Quechua for "big lake", hispanicized Jatuncocha) near the little village Kiwicha (Quihnisha). It flows to the south and ends in the Colca River .
