1 DAY CLIMBING MISTI VOLCANO - A01CL-LD

Introduction

Most people who visit Arequipa take a tour out to the Cañon de Colca, one of the worlds deepest canyons formed by an enormous seismic fault between the Coropuna (6425m) and Ampato (6325m) volcanoes. (actually the worlds deepest canyon is the nearby Cotahuasi Canyon)
Beautiful unspoiled Andean villages line both sides of the canyon. In addition you'll have great views of the smoking Sabancaya volcano, one of the America's most active volcanoes, as well seeing the many traditional pre-Inca agricultural terraces which line the steep valley sides.

Tour Highlights

Description

We leave Arequipa

at 8.30am by 4x4 until the drop-off place at 3'500 m. From there we start with the hiking until the base camp at 4'600 m. We spend the night there and leave early in the morning the next day to climb up tothe top. There you can see the main crater and another little one.After that we hike down to the camp and then to our car that brings us back to Arequipa.

Day 1

We leave Arequipa at 8:30 am and about two hours later we start walking at an elevation of 5000 m. After about two hours we reach Base Camp, at about 5300m, set up camp, and walk up to the pass above (another 120 metres higher) to get accustomed to the altitude. Temperatures here range from +5 to -15 degrees Celsius.

Day 2

We start the climb to the summit at around 2:30 am, after a warming cup of coca tea. We climb up to the first pass, cross the north face of Angel (usually snow-covered), from where the city of Arequipa can be seen. We then ascend the south face of Fatima, cross another short stretch of snow, and make the final climb to the summit of Chachani. The ascent takes 5-6 hours, and the ascent back to base camp 2-3 hours.

We leave the equipment at base camp, and only take a day pack on the ascent. At base camp we pack up camp and descend to where the transportation is waiting for us. We arrive back in Arequipa between 2:00 and 3:00 pm.
