Why are there different names for the same object (lake, mountain, track etc)?

Many lakes, mountains, valleys etc. have several names in Cajas. For example Lake Llaviuco is also called Zorrocucho. Different spellings are even more common: Llaviuco is also spelled as Llaviucu and Zorrocucho as Zurocucho. In general can be stated that the more recognizable names are Spanish. The more exotic names are Quechua. We tried to use the official topographic maps (see LOCATION tab) supplemented with the “local” names.
