Kikash (Quechua, Hispanicized spelling Quicash) or Pampash (in the local Quechua variant, pampa means "large plain")[2] is a mountain in the Wallanka mountain range[1] in the Andes of Peru, about 5338m (17,513feet)) high. It is located in the Ancash Region, Bolognesi Province, Aquia District.[3] [4] It is situated southwest of the main range in a small subrange called Waman Wiqi (Quechua waman falcon or variable hawk, wiqi tear,[2] [5] "falcon tear" or "hawk tear", Hispanicized Huaman Hueque, Huamán Hueque, Huamanhuequi). There is a small lake named Waman Wiqi southeast of Kikash. The stream Pampash originates on the west side of the mountain, flowing west to the Patiwillka River.
