Everything about Nevado Mismi totally explained
Nevado Mismi is a mountain peak of
volcanic origin located in the
Andes mountain range of
Peru.
Nevado Mismi is about 160 km west of
Lake Titicaca and 700 km southeast of Peru's capital city,
Lima, in the
Arequipa Region. It is one of the highest points of
Colca Canyon. There are several glaciers on the peak.
In
2001, it was verified that the main headwater of the
Amazon River has its glacial source on Nevado Mismi. An expedition of the
National Geographic Society discovered that
Carhuasanta stream flowing into
Río Apurímac originates on the mountain's northern slopes and then runs its course through other tributaries and rivers to help form the main Amazon River. The fact that the headwaters of Río Apurímac are the source of the Amazon River was confirmed by
Brazilian scientists in
2007, who pointed at
Quebrada Apacheta as the most probable source of the Amazon.
