General description

Escalada Volcán Misti 2 Días

Our tour is an incredible ascent to an active volcano; El Misti with 5822 meters and located in the city of Arequipa. To climb this volcano no technical preparation is needed since it is a stratovolcano composed of ash and lava. Our trekking is more of a steep "altitude" hike where the greatest difficulty of the route is the ashes and sand that, together with the height, make our ascent much more difficult and forced. El Misti is considered one of the 10 potentially active volcanoes in this part of the Andes mountain range and its summit reaches a height of 5,822 meters above sea level. Remember that to make the ascent you need progressive acclimatization to the altitude and very good physical condition. The people of Arequipa consider the active Misti volcano as a symbol of their city and their culture. During the tour you will visit key points such as Cusco, Machu Picchu, Aguas Calientes, reaching altitudes close to Accommodation. The itinerary takes place in 2 days with professional accompaniment. At Cusco Mio we prioritize safety, official permits when applicable, and an authentic experience. For inquiries write to our WhatsApp channel or call +51 969 190 507

Itinerary

  1. In the morning, we will pick you up at your hotel in Arequipa at the scheduled time and drive in a 4×4 vehicle until we reach our starting point at the base of the Misti volcano (3,300 m). During the ascension, we will cross several altitude zones, observing how the flora changes as we gain altitude. We will set up our camp at an altitude of 4,700 m. From this point, we will enjoy an impressive and unforgettable view of the White City of Arequipa. While we have dinner, we will listen to local legends and learn the history of the Misti and Chachani volcanoes. (In 1998, an expedition discovered six Inca mummies in the volcano.)
