Quelccaya and Huascaran are located in the midst of the Andes Mountains, a long cordillera of high peaks thrust upward by the subduction of the Nazca Plate beneath the South American Plate. In
southeastern Peru at respective latitudes of 9 degrees 7 minutes and 13 degrees 56 minutes South, Huascaran and Quelccaya lay in the heart of the tropical zone.
