Los Cedros [1] [2] Creek (Quebrada Los Cedros [1] [2] in Spanish) is a stream in Peru located in Huaylas Province, Ancash. It is a right tributary of the Santa River which flows to the Pacific Ocean. [1] [2]
It originates west of mount Alpamayo [1] [2] and runs mainly to the west until its confluence with the Santa River near the village of Los Cedros. [1] [2]
The upstream section receives the name Alpamayo (possibly from Quechua allpa earth, mayu river, [3] "earth river"). [1] [2]
