Its location is strategic, for excursions, such as Huchuy Qosqo, Ancashmarca, Urco. It is also ideal for visiting traditional communities, for cultural immersion reasons in an indigenous community. Calca is at an altitude of 2,900 m.s.n.m., and is surrounded by imposing mountains, such as Pitusiray, with an altitude of 4.987 msnm. According to the Andean religious system, this mountain, along with its dual, the Sawasiray, are considered among the most important Sacred Mountains or Divinities, called "Apus". Likewise, these Apus are associated with the reproduction of food plants and, therefore, not only the farmers of Calca invoke them, but also, those of other distant places, Ethnography and ethnohistory report various myths and religious practices related to these mountains, dating back to pre-Hispanic times.
