Alpamayo (in hispanicized spelling), Allpamayu (Quechua allpa earth, mayu river, "earth river") or Shuyturahu (Ancash Quechua huytu, shuytu oblong, slim and long, Quechua rahu snow, ice, mountain with snow, "slim and long snow-covered mountain") is one of the most conspicuous peaks in the Cordillera Blanca of the Peruvian Andes. It is named after the river Allpamayu which originates northwest of it.
It is a steep (sixty degrees), almost perfect pyramid of ice, one of a number of peaks that compose the Pukarahu massif, the northernmost massif of the Cordillera Blanca. Although smaller than many of its neighboring peaks, it is distinguished by its unusual formation and overwhelming beauty. It actually has two sharp summits, North and South, separated by a narrow corniced ridge.
On July 1966, on the German magazine "Alpinismus", a photo made by American photographer Leigh Ortenburger, came together with an article resulting from an international survey among climbers, photographers, etc., making the choice for Alpamayo as "The Most Beautiful Mountain in the World".
I am so happy with you in my arms
Honey, don't you ever leave
Lay back and love me and tell me you're mine
Keep on dreamin' with me
Your hair is so soft and your eyes are so brown
Your body's warm here next to me
You be my woman and I'll be your man
And your love is all I'll ever need
It took so long for me to find you
I've been lonely for so long, lonely
You came into me life to love me
Now my loneliness is gone
You can't improve on perfection
And you are perfect for me
Cast your love in my direction
And I know that you will see
I am so happy with you in my arms
Honey, don't you ever leave
Lay back and love me and tell me you're mine
Keep on dreamin' with me
Lay back and love me and tell me you're mine
Keep on dreamin' with me
Lay back and love me and tell me you're mine
