MISTI

Length: 2 days / 1 night
Difficulty: Moderate

Minima2 PERSONS

Day 1:

A private vehicle picks you up from your hotel and 2 hours later we arrive at the basa of Misti (3300 Mts /10700ft ).The landscape Changes dramatically with increasing altitude due to the different stresses on the plant life. We camp at 4300 Mt (14000ft) to acclimatize .The views of Arequipa at night are beautiful, with the lights of the city ,in the distance and the lights of the stars ,while the light of the camp stove provide us with a warm cup of tea and cooked meal

Day 2:

An early breakfast includes ,the option of maté de coca (a herbal tea made from coca leaves which helps with the effects of altitude). After breakfast we start the 5 to 6-hour climb to the summit. The top is a natural observatory, in the distance you can see the Chachani and Picchu Picchu volcanoes, the national Reserve of Aguada Blanca, Lake Salinas, the city of Arequipa, small pueblos and of course, the unique and beautiful crater of Misti itself. 5825m

All the energy you expend climbing Misti is returned to you on the descent. If you wish, you can run, ski or slide down the mountainside, which is comprised mostly of sand which cushions your steps and allows you to stop easily when you need to. We pack up the campsite and then descend for two more hours to the place where our transportation left us the day before. We return to Arequipa by 6 pm.
