El cerro Khapia o Ccapia[1] (del aimara: Qhaphiya, 'tierra árida') es una montaña ubicada en la meseta del Collao, próximo al lago Titicaca al sur del Perú. Su formación refiere a un periodo de actividad tectónica por lo que abundan formaciones de roca plutonica. Tiene una altura de 4960 msnm y en lo alto del apu se encuentra la laguna de Huarahuarani[2] encerrada en un cráter horadado a manera de anfiteatro.Другой контент может иметь иную лицензию.
