Anthropologist Johan Reinhardt: "To the Inca, Ampato was sacred, a god who brought life-giving water and good harvests, and, as a god, claimed the highest tribute: the sacrifice of one of their own."

"Miguel Zárate, my Peruvian climbing partner, and I were unaware of this as we slogged up the ash-covered ridge that leads to Ampato's summit. It was September 8, 1995, and recent eruptions of a nearby volcano, Nevado Sabancaya, had spewed ash more than a mile into the sky, blanketing Ampato."
