Hello Farmboy,

In Spanish, the highest peaks of the Andes Mountains are called "picos".

Is this the word you're looking for?

Thanks,

Bobbie7

Hello again Farmboy,

Perhaps "Puna" is the word you're looking for.

Thanks,

Bobbie7

Pissis?

Perhaps you're thinking of Machu Picchu, home to the famous Incan city:

The highest point of the Andes Mountains is the top of the Monte
Aconcagua, in Argentina, which is 6959 mts over sea level. The Puna
region is a tableland that is 4000 mts over sea level, in this region
there are the highest peaks of Andes Mountains (except the Aconcagua).
