Hualca Hualca{{efn|{{IPA|es|ˈwalka ˈwalka|small=no}}. In Aymara{{sfn|Bertonio|2011|p=118}} and Quechua, {{lang|qu|wallqa}} means "collar".{{sfn|Laime Ajacopa|2007|p=129}}}} is a {{convert|6025|m|ft|0|-high|adj=mid}} extinct volcano in the Andes of southern Peru. It is part of the Peruvian segment of the Central Volcanic Zone, one of several volcanic belts in the Andes. It lies about {{convert|70|km}} northwest of Arequipa and is part of a north–south chain that includes the volcanoes Ampato and Sabancaya, the latter of which has been active historically. The mountain is important to the towns of Cabanaconde and Pinchollo, whose inhabitants viewed it as their source of water and used to carry out religious ceremonies to guarantee continuing water supply.

Hualca Hualca features a wide amphitheatre-like structure on the northern flank, created by a gigantic landslide during the Pleistocene. After the collapse, renewed volcanic activity built a new summit and several lava dome complexes within the collapse scar. After cessation of volcanic activity, glaciers eroded the volcano and formed multiple moraines. The present-day volcano is covered by glaciers, and during the last glacial maximum, glaciers advanced to low altitudes. There are hot springs and geysers north of the mountain, and the magma chambers of Sabancaya are located below Hualca Hualca.

Geography and geomorphology

Hualca Hualca is in the Caylloma Province{{sfn|Zavala|Churata|Varela|Benavente|2015|p=57}} of southern Peru, {{convert|70|km}} northwest from Arequipa. Directly north of the volcano is the Colca Valley, an important tourism destination and agricultural area{{sfn|Alcalá-Reygosa|Macías|Arce|Gómez|2024|p=2}} which has been settled since before Inca times.{{sfn|Gelles|1996|p=90}} The towns of Cabanaconde and Pinchollo lie at the northern foot of Hualca Hualca; other settlements in the area are Madrigal, Lari, Maca, Achoma and Ichupampa.{{sfn|Alcalá-Reygosa|Macías|Arce|Gómez|2024|p=4}} Several roads run around the volcano;{{sfn|Soncco Calsina|Manrique Llerena|Lazarte Zerpa|2018|p=3}} one goes to the Hornillo viewpoint on the northeastern flank.{{sfn|Rivera Porras|Aguilar Contreras|Manrique Llerena|2017|p=15}} Canals and dams collect water flowing from the mountain and convey it to fields at Cabanaconde{{sfn|Gelles|2000|p=50}} and west of Sabancaya volcano.{{sfn|Gelles|1996|p=90}} Other infrastructure on the mountain consists of homesteads mainly on its western flank{{sfn|Rivera Porras|Aguilar Contreras|Manrique Llerena|2017|p=7}} and equipment of Peru's volcano monitoring service.{{sfn|Cruz|Ortega|Anccasi|Apaza|2024|p=11}} Hualca Hualca can be climbed in a few days from Pinchollo by the north side,{{sfn|Biggar|2020|p=182}} and is not considered challenging from a mountaineering perspective.{{sfn|AAJ|1998}}

Hualca Hualca is a heavily eroded{{sfn|Juvigné|Thouret|Loutsch|Lamadon|2008}} stratovolcano.{{sfn|Pritchard|Simons|2004|p=10}} A {{convert|14|km|mi|-wide|adj=mid}}{{sfn|Alcalá-Reygosa|Macías|Arce|Gómez|2024|p=6}} ragged{{sfn|Gałaś|Panajew|Cuber|2014|p=63}} semicircular{{sfn|Alcalá-Reygosa|Macías|Arce|Gómez|2024|p=4}} ridge surrounds a {{convert|1600|m|ft|-deep|adj=mid}} amphitheatre{{sfn|Alcalá-Reygosa|Macías|Arce|Gómez|2024|p=12}} with {{convert|700|-|1000|m|ft|-high|adj=mid}} cliffs;{{sfn|Alcalá-Reygosa|Palacios|Zamorano Orozco|2016|p=1163}} the {{convert|6025|m|ft|-high|adj=mid}} summit is on the southeastern part of the ridge.{{sfn|Alcalá-Reygosa|Macías|Arce|Gómez|2024|p=4}} The amphitheatre opens north to the Colca Valley at an elevation of about {{convert|3500|m}}. The scar was formed by a gigantic landslide{{sfn|Alcalá-Reygosa|Macías|Arce|Gómez|2024|p=2}} that removed a volume of about {{convert|1.3|km3}} from the edifice.{{sfn|Zavala Carrión|Mariño Salazar|Lacroix|Taipe Maquerhua|2012|p=10}} Within the scar are several volcanic structures consisting of lava domes and lava flows, including {{convert|5310|m|ft|-high|adj=mid}} Nevado de Puye close to the summit, {{convert|5190|m|ft|-high|adj=mid}} Cerro Ahuashune farther west, and a {{convert|4400|m|ft|-high|adj=mid}} volcanic structure with the "Mirador Cruz del Condor" viewpoint to the north.{{sfn|Alcalá-Reygosa|Macías|Arce|Gómez|2024|pp=4,6}} Between Ahuashune and Mirador Cruz del Condor is a lake,{{sfn|Alcalá-Reygosa|Macías|Arce|Gómez|2024|p=4}} and there are cold water springs.{{sfn|Tyc|Gaidzik|Ciesielczuk|Masías|2022|p=3}} Valleys, such as the Huayuray valley due north of the summit{{sfn|Alcalá-Reygosa|Palacios|Vázquez-Selem|2017|p=152}} and the Hualca-Hualca at the western margin of the amphitheatre,{{sfn|Gelles|1996|p=90}} run through the amphitheatre heading north;{{sfn|Rivera Porras|Aguilar Contreras|Manrique Llerena|2017|p=10}} they are used as irrigation water sources.{{sfn|Gelles|2000|p=13}}

The mountain towers above the Colca Valley{{sfn|Alcalá-Reygosa|Palacios|Zamorano Orozco|2016|p=1161}} with irregular slopes.{{sfn|Ramos Palomino|Antayhua Vera|2011|p=7}} Elsewhere around the perimeter of Hualca Hualca, it and its neighbours rise about {{convert|2|km}} above the Altiplano highland.{{sfn|Alcalá-Reygosa|Palacios|Zamorano Orozco|2016|p=1160}} Valleys on its outer slopes include the Mollebaya to the east, Pujro Huayjo to the southwest and Mucurca to the west.{{sfn|Alcalá-Reygosa|Palacios|Vázquez-Selem|2017|p=152}} Moraines and glacial sediments cover the western slopes of Hualca Hualca, while lava flows of Sabancaya onlap the southern slopes.{{sfn|Alcalá-Reygosa|Macías|Arce|Gómez|2024|p=4}} The edifice is {{convert|25|km}} wide.{{sfn|Zavala Carrión|Mariño Salazar|Lacroix|Taipe Maquerhua|2012|p=10}} Surfaces on the volcano are frequently covered by debris and moraine rocks,{{sfn|Alcalá-Reygosa|Palacios|Vázquez-Selem|2017|p=155}} and Sabancaya has deposited tephra on the land south of Hualca Hualca.{{sfn|Soncco Calsina|Manrique Llerena|Lazarte Zerpa|2018|p=10}} At the western foot of Hualca Hualca is Laguna Mucurca.{{sfn|Soncco Calsina|Manrique Llerena|Lazarte Zerpa|2018|p=3}}

Geology

Volcanism in South America occurs in four distinct zones along its western coast in the Andes: the Northern Volcanic Zone, the Central Volcanic Zone (CVZ), the Southern Volcanic Zone and the Austral Volcanic Zone. The volcanoes of Peru and the Central Andes belong to the CVZ,{{sfn|Alcalá-Reygosa|Macías|Arce|Gómez|2024|p=3}} which includes more than 50{{sfn|Alcalá-Reygosa|2017|p=653}} calderas, composite volcanoes and monogenetic volcanic fields that erupted during the Quaternary.{{sfn|Alcalá-Reygosa|Macías|Arce|Gómez|2024|p=2}} In Peru they include (from north to south) Auquihuato, Sara Sara, Coropuna, Mismi, Hualca Hualca-Sabancaya-Ampato, Chachani, Misti, Ubinas, Huaynaputina, Ticsani, Tutupaca, Yucamane and Casiri. The volcanism of the Central Andes is caused by the northeastward subduction of the Nazca Plate under the South American Plate, at a rate of about {{convert|4.6|cm/year|in/year}}.{{sfn|Alcalá-Reygosa|Macías|Arce|Gómez|2024|p=3}}

Hualca Hualca and its neighbours to the south Sabancaya and Ampato form the Ampato volcanic complex. With an area of about {{convert|630|km2}} it is one of the largest volcanic complexes of the Central Andes.{{sfn|Alcalá-Reygosa|Macías|Arce|Gómez|2024|p=2}} Hualca Hualca is the oldest volcano of the complex.{{sfn|Alcalá-Reygosa|Macías|Arce|Gómez|2024|p=6}} Ampato began erupting 450,000 years ago and formed a summit dome 20,000–10,000 years ago. Sabancaya has been active during the Holocene and in historical time,{{sfn|Alcalá-Reygosa|Macías|Arce|Gómez|2024|p=2}} and is the second-most active volcano in Peru.{{sfn|Puma|Macedo|Álvarez|Finizola|2018|p=55}}

The rock formations in the area are subdivided into five groups: the Paleozoic intrusive rocks that crop out in the Colca Valley; sedimentary rocks of the Yura Group in the Colca Valley; OligoceneMiocene volcanic rocks of the Terraza Group, north of the Colca River; Pliocene ignimbrites of the Barroso Group around Hualca Hualca; and the Quaternary sediments of the Colca Group in the collapse scar of the volcano and the Colca Valley. Rocks in the Ampato volcanic complex form the Ampato Group.{{sfn|Alcalá-Reygosa|Macías|Arce|Gómez|2024|p=4}} Some sources regard Hualca Hualca{{sfn|Zavala Carrión|Mariño Salazar|Lacroix|Taipe Maquerhua|2012|p=35}} or the entire Ampato volcanic complex as members of the Barroso Group.{{sfn|Gałaś|Paulo|Gaidzik|Zavala|2018|p=711}} The rocks underlying the Ampato volcanic complex consist of the Sencca Formation, which is between 1.4 and 4.9 million years old.{{sfn|Alcalá-Reygosa|Palacios|Zamorano Orozco|2016|p=1161}}

Most of the volcano is formed by lava flows,{{sfn|Alcalá-Reygosa|Macías|Arce|Gómez|2024|p=7}} which are stacked more than {{convert|1|km}} high.{{sfn|Zavala Carrión|Mariño Salazar|Lacroix|Taipe Maquerhua|2012|p=19}} Numerous fault zones cross the northern sector of Hualca Hualca; from north to south these are the Chachas-Cabanaconde-Patapampa Fault System, Solarpampa-Puye Puye-Pillo Fault System and Pungo-Hornillo Fault System.{{sfn|Tyc|Gaidzik|Ciesielczuk|Masías|2022|p=16}} Many show evidence of neotectonic activity,{{sfn|Cruz|Ortega|Anccasi|Apaza|2024|p=20}} and some have produced earthquakes in recent times{{sfn|Ramos Palomino|Antayhua Vera|2011|p=9}} or undergone aseismic creep.{{sfn|MacQueen|Delgado|Reath|Pritchard|2020|p=17}} There are three clusters of shallow seismic activity at Hualca Hualca, where volcano-tectonic processes cause earthquakes.{{sfn|Cruz|Ortega|Anccasi|Apaza|2024|p=86}} Spontaneous potential analysis has found evidence of two buried structures in the northern part of Hualca Hualca, which might be buried calderas.{{sfn|Puma|Torres|Lazarte|Finizola|2021|p=686}} Magnetotelluric analysis has identified various zones of high and low electrical conductivity under Hualca Hualca.{{sfn|Torres|Antayhua Vera|Romero|Tavera|2024|p=33}}

= Composition =

The composition of Hualca Hualca's rocks ranges from andesite-trachyandesite to dacite-trachydacite, and define a potassium-rich calc-alkaline rock suite similar to that of the other volcanoes in the Ampato volcanic complex.{{sfn|Alcalá-Reygosa|Macías|Arce|Gómez|2024|p=9}} Phenocrysts consist of amphibole, biotite, plagioclase and pyroxene.{{sfn|Rivera|Mariño|Samaniego|Delgado|2015|p=42}} The magmas that built Hualca Hualca formed when the mantle wedge, metasomatised during subduction, melted; the magmas underwent fractional crystallization before erupting at the surface. Minor geochemical differences between the rocks of the three Ampato complex volcanoes may reflect differences in magma generation processes.{{sfn|Alcalá-Reygosa|Macías|Arce|Gómez|2024|p=12}} Hydrothermal manifestations are often accompanied by the deposition of minerals;{{sfn|Tyc|Gaidzik|Ciesielczuk|Masías|2022|p=11}} for example, geysers at Pinchollo have emplaced various sulfate minerals.{{sfn|Ciesielczuk|Żaba|Bzowska|Gaidzik|2013|p=192}}

Climate and life

Above an elevation of {{convert|4500|m}}, annual temperatures range from {{convert|1|-|6|C}}.{{sfn|Tyc|Gaidzik|Ciesielczuk|Masías|2022|p=4}} There is no temperature data from Hualca Hualca, but data from Chachani implies stable temperatures year-round.{{sfn|Alcalá-Reygosa|Macías|Arce|Gómez|2024|p=2}} Annual precipitation is about {{convert|0.8|-|1|m}}, decreasing at lower elevations.{{sfn|Tyc|Gaidzik|Ciesielczuk|Masías|2022|pp=4,5}} During December–March, the Intertropical Convergence Zone reaches the mountain{{sfn|Alcalá-Reygosa|Macías|Arce|Gómez|2024|p=2}} and draws moisture from the Amazon, as part of the South American Summer Monsoon (Pacific Ocean-derived moisture is trapped beneath a temperature inversion at an elevation of {{convert|800|m}} and cannot reach Hualca Hualca).{{sfn|Alcalá-Reygosa|Palacios|Vázquez-Selem|2017|p=151}} This is the wet season, during which most of the annual precipitation falls. April to November is the dry season.{{sfn|Alcalá-Reygosa|2017|p=654}} The mountain is snow-covered year-round.{{sfn|Rivera|Mariño|Samaniego|Delgado|2015|p=43}} Precipitation on Hualca Hualca may constitute a source of groundwater{{sfn|Zavala Carrión|Mariño Salazar|Lacroix|Taipe Maquerhua|2012|p=59}} and recharge the hydrothermal system.{{sfn|Tyc|Gaidzik|Ciesielczuk|Masías|2022|p=18}} El Niño-Southern Oscillation events cause temperatures to increase and precipitation to decrease.{{sfn|Alcalá|Palacios Estremera|Zamorano Orozco|Vázquez-Selem|2011|p=122}}

Below an elevation of {{convert|4500|m}} there is herbaceous vegetation, dominated by Festuca and Stipa but also featuring cacti, Peruvian feather grass and other pioneer plant species. Above that altitude, cushion plants such as Azorella compacta replace the herbs until {{convert|5000|m}} elevation, where most vegetation disappears except for lichens and mosses.{{sfn|Gałaś|Panajew|Cuber|2014|p=67}}{{sfn|Alcalá|Palacios Estremera|Zamorano Orozco|Vázquez-Selem|2011|p=125}} Peat bogs grow in valleys on the southern side of Hualca Hualca{{sfn|Alcalá-Reygosa|Palacios|Vázquez-Selem|2017|p=154}} in places where precipitation water and meltwater accumulate. They are classified as "bofedales".{{sfn|Soncco Calsina|Manrique Llerena|Lazarte Zerpa|2018|p=7}} Between elevations of {{convert|3800|and|4500|m}}, the land is used for pasture of alpaca, cattle, llama and sheep.{{sfn|Gelles|1996|p=92}} Animals include insects and birds like the Andean condor.{{sfn|Gałaś|Panajew|Cuber|2014|p=67}}

During the Late Pleistocene, temperatures in the Peruvian Andes were up to {{convert|8|-|12|C-change}} lower, and episodes of increased precipitation led to the formation of giant lakes in the Altiplano ("Lake Tauca"){{sfn|Alcalá-Reygosa|Palacios|Vázquez-Selem|2017|p=150}} and (possibly) to the growth of glaciers.{{sfn|Alcalá-Reygosa|2017|p=661}} In recent decades, temperatures have been increasing at a rate of about {{convert|0.1|C-change}} per decade.{{sfn|Alcalá|Palacios Estremera|Zamorano Orozco|Vázquez-Selem|2011|p=122}} The warming has been blamed for the drying of springs and more irregular meltwater flows.{{sfn|Stensrud|2016|pp=76–77}}

Eruption history

Hualca Hualca was active during the Pliocene and Pleistocene.{{sfn|Alcalá-Reygosa|Macías|Arce|Gómez|2024|p=2}} It formed in several stages, with initial activity producing andesitic to dacitic-trachydacitic lava flows that build the main edifice and crop out in the collapse scar. Dates ranging from 1.07±0.3 million years ago to 610,000±10,000 years ago have been obtained from this unit.{{sfn|Alcalá-Reygosa|Macías|Arce|Gómez|2024|p=6}} Hydrothermal alteration and volcanic activity weakened the mountain until collapse,{{sfn|Zavala Carrión|Mariño Salazar|Lacroix|Taipe Maquerhua|2012|p=10}} which did not occur during an eruption but may have been triggered by an earthquake.{{sfn|Alcalá-Reygosa|Palacios|Zamorano Orozco|2016|p=1163}} The first collapse removed the central sector of the volcano; subsequent activity rebuilt the summit and spilled lava flows over the northeastern flank without filling in the entire scar.{{sfn|Alcalá-Reygosa|Macías|Arce|Gómez|2024|p=10}}

550,000 years ago, activity moved from the rebuilt summit into the collapse scar and produced Nevado de Puye, the Mirador Cruz del Condor and Cerro Ahuashune;{{sfn|Alcalá-Reygosa|Macías|Arce|Gómez|2024|p=11}} dating has yielded ages of 416,000±34,000 years ago at Nevado de Puye{{sfn|Alcalá-Reygosa|Macías|Arce|Gómez|2024|p=7}} and of 600,000±300,000 years ago at Ahuashune.{{sfn|Alcalá-Reygosa|Macías|Arce|Gómez|2024|p=6}} A second, much smaller collapse during the last 600,000 years left a debris avalanche deposit inside the old collapse scar,{{sfn|Alcalá-Reygosa|Macías|Arce|Gómez|2024|pp=6,10}} which was originally incorrectly attributed to the first collapse. It dammed the Colca River, forming a now-vanished lake that reached until the present-day town of Chivay and left lake sediments until it overflowed and broke the dam.{{sfn|Alcalá-Reygosa|Macías|Arce|Gómez|2024|p=11}} It is possible that both the first and second collapses formed lakes in the Colca Valley,{{sfn|Zavala Carrión|Mariño Salazar|Lacroix|Taipe Maquerhua|2012|pp=11–12}} and other lakes were formed by lava flows.{{sfn|Zavala Carrión|Mariño Salazar|Lacroix|Taipe Maquerhua|2012|p=39}} The second collapse did not greatly alter the structure of Hualca Hualca.{{sfn|Alcalá-Reygosa|Macías|Arce|Gómez|2024|p=10}} Lahars formed when volcanic activity impacted snowfields and flowed into the Colca Valley.{{sfn|Alcalá|Úbeda|Thouret|Palacios|2005|p=26}} Ignimbrites on the slopes testify to past explosive eruptions.{{sfn|Gałaś|Panajew|Cuber|2014|p=63}}

Hualca Hualca features fumarolic activity.{{sfn|Pritchard|Simons|2004|p=20}} A few kilometres north of the summit is a group of originally three geysers; one was buried by an earthquake in 2001 and another became a hot spring. The active geyser is known as "Pinchollo".{{sfn|Ciesielczuk|Żaba|Bzowska|Gaidzik|2013|p=188}} Other geothermal manifestations are a solfatara,{{sfn|Tyc|Gaidzik|Ciesielczuk|Masías|2022|p=5}} gas venting at Paclla,{{sfn|Torres|Antayhua Vera|Romero|Tavera|2024|p=10}} and hot springs in the amphitheatre{{sfn|Torres|Antayhua Vera|Romero|Tavera|2024|p=6}} such as Puye Puye,{{sfn|Torres|Antayhua Vera|Romero|Tavera|2024|p=32}} where there are mud pools.{{sfn|Torres|Antayhua Vera|Romero|Tavera|2024|p=10}} Some of these geothermal manifestations may reflect local tectonic features rather than being part of Hualca Hualca's volcanic system.{{sfn|Tyc|Gaidzik|Ciesielczuk|Masías|2022|p=2}}

A hydrothermal system underlies the Ampato volcanic complex,{{sfn|Torres|Antayhua Vera|Romero|Tavera|2024|p=32}} including Hualca Hualca, where it feeds the hot springs and geysers,{{sfn|Torres|Antayhua Vera|Romero|Tavera|2024|p=33}} perhaps with water pooled in one of the buried calderas{{sfn|Puma|Macedo|Álvarez|Finizola|2018|p=56}} and heated by the magma under Hualca Hualca.{{sfn|Cruz|Ortega|Anccasi|Apaza|2024|p=87}}

The magma chambers of Sabancaya are situated at about {{convert|13|km}} depth under Hualca Hualca, where magma evolves and ascends into the former volcano. There have been several episodes of surface uplift at Hualca Hualca linked to magma movements in the magmatic system:{{sfn|Cruz|Ortega|Anccasi|Apaza|2024|p=21}}

  • Between 1992 and 1996, totalling about {{convert|2|cm}} per year{{sfn|Cruz|Ortega|Anccasi|Apaza|2024|p=12}} and followed by deflation lasting until 1999.{{sfn|Pritchard|Simons|2004|p=35}} This uplift is colocated with one of the buried calderas.{{sfn|Puma|Torres|Lazarte|Finizola|2021|p=686}}
  • Uplift between 2012 and 2019 caused numerous earthquakes north of Hualca Hualca when fault zones there failed under the pressure,{{sfn|Cruz|Ortega|Anccasi|Apaza|2024|p=21}} and increased heat flow boosted activity in the fumaroles at Hualca Hualca.{{sfn|MacQueen|Delgado|Reath|Pritchard|2020|p=19}}
  • Between 2014 and 2020 the mountain rose at a rate of {{convert|4.5|cm}} per year.{{sfn|Cruz|Ortega|Anccasi|Apaza|2024|p=89}}

The deformation implies magma movements of {{convert|0.1|km3}}{{sfn|Pritchard|Simons|2004|p=34}} and is not strongly correlated to activity at Sabancaya.{{sfn|MacQueen|Delgado|Reath|Pritchard|2020|p=18}} Such offset magmatic systems are not unusual among volcanoes.{{sfn|MacQueen|Delgado|Reath|Pritchard|2020|p=17}} The magmatic system experiences the entry of new mafic magmas, that in turn drives activity in the shallow magmatic system and eruptions at Sabancaya, while explaining the low correlation between deformation and activity at Sabancaya.{{sfn|MacQueen|Delgado|Reath|Pritchard|2020|p=21}}

Hualca Hualca is also impacted on the surface by activity at Sabancaya,{{sfn|Soncco Calsina|Manrique Llerena|Lazarte Zerpa|2018|p=13}} recent eruptions have deposited volcanic ash on Hualca Hualca.{{sfn|Soncco Calsina|Manrique Llerena|Lazarte Zerpa|2018|pp=18–20}} The volcano is within the hazard zone of Sabancaya;{{sfn|Soncco Calsina|Manrique Llerena|Lazarte Zerpa|2018|p=13}} ash falls from the latter volcano can melt the ice on Hualca Hualca to form lahars,{{sfn|Rivera|Mariño|Samaniego|Delgado|2015|p=72}} threatening agricultural land and infrastructure{{sfn|Observatorio Vulcanológico del INGEMMET|2017|p=28}} such as the regionally important Majes-Siguas canal.{{sfn|Cacya|Huayhua|Meza|2018|pp=227,228}} Volcanic fallout from Sabancaya is frequent.{{sfn|Observatorio Vulcanológico del INGEMMET|2017|p=37}}

Name, religious and cultural importance

File:Cabanaconde - Caňon del Colca - panoramio.jpg

During Inca times, Hualca Hualca was regarded as an apu, a mountain deity. During eruptions of Sabancaya, the Inca rulers offered sacrifices, such as the mummy Juanita at Ampato, to the apus of the region including Hualca Hualca.{{sfn|Chávez|Antonio|2001}} The veneration is attested since the 16th century, but probably pre-dates Inca rule,{{sfn|Gelles|1995|p=719}} and remains of the offerings have been found at an elevation of {{convert|5800|m}} at Hualca Hualca.{{sfn|Reinhard|1985|p=308}} It continued after the Spanish conquest, with Hualca Hualca being attested as a huaca.{{sfn|Cook|Cook|2007|p=11}} In October 2011, the inhabitants of Pinchollo organized a procession on the mountain (accompanied by Catholic ritual){{sfn|Stensrud|2016|p=75}} and offered various sacrifices.{{sfn|Stensrud|2016|p=76}} The mountain is also the principal deity of Cabanaconde{{sfn|Gelles|1995|p=720}} and important to their cultural identity;{{sfn|Paerregaard|2018|p=5}} the inhabitants call it their mother{{sfn|Gelles|2000|p=21}} and liken its water to a mother's milk.{{sfn|Gelles|1995|p=718}} Women's hats in Cabanaconde are white and they represent the snow cover of the mountain.{{sfn|Ceruti|2013|p=346}} The inhabitants of Cabanaconde were sometimes compared to the misshapen mountain, with the Collaguas people calling their heads "ugly and disproportionate".{{sfn|Cook|Cook|2007|p=13}} People preparing to emigrate conducted a ritual invoking the mountains of the region, including Hualca Hualca, before departing.{{sfn|Huanca|2018|p=66}} In Chivay, a church is built in a manner that visitors face the mountain.{{sfn|Gangui|Guillen|Pereira|2016|p=313}}

According to the founding mythology of Cabanaconde, humans walked out of the mountain.{{sfn|Shippee|1932|p=575}}{{sfn|Reinhard|1985|p=309}} People in southern Peru believed that children were sacrificed to Hualca Hualca.{{sfn|Reinhard|1985|p=312}} The mountain is considered to be a female entity, which was reflected in the gender norms at Cabanaconde.{{sfn|Gelles|2000|p=39}} People living in Cabanaconde and Pinchollo view the mountain as the source of their water, which flows down through streams and canals into their lands, and the offerings aim at preserving a stable water supply.{{sfn|Stensrud|2016|p=76}}{{sfn|Boelens|Gelles|2005|p=321}} Before the advent of the Majes canal,{{sfn|Gelles|1996|p=97}} people in Cabanaconde used to perform a regular water ritual at Hualca Hualca to begin each irrigation cycle{{sfn|Gelles|1995|p=720}} and went every year to the mountain as a community-wide ceremony to assure the continued supply of water.{{sfn|Gelles|1996|p=96}} Despite initial resistance to the Majes canal project{{sfn|Gelles|2000|p=46}} and disputes about its supply,{{sfn|Gelles|1996|p=103}} the town eventually began to use it{{sfn|Gelles|1996|p=97}} and the water rituals involving Hualca Hualca largely (but not entirely) stopped.{{sfn|Paerregaard|2023|p=93}}
