Topography[]

This mountain has moderately steep slopes to the west, with more gentle slopes on its eastern foothills. In the vicinity of the summit there is a small lake that freezes from about late April to early August. This lake is believed to be the source of the mountain's name: in the indigenous language Comechingón, Champaqui means "Water-in-the-head / Water at the top of the hill".

On Cerro Champaqui's eastern slope is the town of Santa Rosa de Calamuchita. On the western side is the town of Villa de Las Rosas.^[2]

The common path to climb the mountain begins at Villa Alpina on the east slopes of the mountain.^[3]
