Overview

The Quelccaya glacier is unique for being the largest tropical glacier in the world, for its great climatic and scientific importance, as it preserves information from thousands of years ago, and for being a vital source of water for the high Andean communities, in addition to offering an imposing and little-explored natural landscape.
