A private vehicle takes us from the hotel and two hours later we arrive at the base of Misti (3300 meters). The view changes dramatically with increasing altitude. We camp at 4300 meters. The view of Arequipa at night is beautiful, with the city lights in the distance and the bright stars above us.
After breakfast we start the climb about 5 or 6 hours. The top is a natural observatory in the distance, you can see the Chachani and Picchu Picchu volcanoes, the Aguada Blanca nature reserve, the Salinas lagoon, the city of Arequipa, small towns and, of course, the unique and beautiful volcano crater. After enjoying the Misti Volcano, we descend, if you wish, you can run or slide, being sand, which allows you to cushion your steps and stop easily when necessary. We return to Arequipa around 4pm.
