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".
