Climbing Misti Volcano

DAY 1

We will collect you from your hotel in the heart of Arequipa city. From there, our transportation will follow the Cabrerías route to the starting point of our ascent to the Misti Volcano, situated at an elevation of 4,100 meters above sea level.

Take in the stunning landscapes of the Arequipa valley, encircled by majestic mountains and volcanoes. Our journey up the Misti Volcano will commence with a 6-hour trek. Along this path, you'll have the chance to observe the local flora and fauna, including cacti and a variety of bird species. During the hike, we will also enjoy a box lunch.

Misti Volcano is positioned 20 kilometers northeast of Arequipa city, bordering the Chili River, and soars to 5,820 meters above sea level. Its name, derived from the Quechua language, translates to "white-skinned man." Classified as an active volcano, it lies within the Salinas and Aguada Blanca National Reserve.

We will arrive at the Base Camp, which is located at 4,800 meters above sea level. Here, we will establish our camp and enjoy a rejuvenating dinner.

DAY 2

We will set off early today, and following breakfast, we will embark on a 6-hour hike as we continue our ascent. Our goal is to reach the summit by midday, offering us breathtaking views of the volcano's crater.

From here, you can admire the awe-inspiring vistas of the Andes mountain range, as well as the Chachani and Pichu Pichu volcanoes, both of which are visible from the city of Arequipa. There will be ample time for photos.

This volcano has undergone more than 10 eruptions in recent history, with the most recent occurring in the 15th century during the Inca era.

Following our summit experience, we will begin our descent back to Base Camp. After a brief rest, we will continue hiking for an additional 2 hours until we reach our transport, which will convey us back to Arequipa city.

Upon our arrival in the city, we will escort you back to your hotel.
