Detailed Itinerary: Day by Day
DAY 1:
Arequipa – Mont Blanco Base Camp
The expedition begins with hotel pickup in Arequipa between 8:00 and 8:30 a.m., followed by a transfer in a 4x4 vehicle to the starting point of the hike. During the approximately three-hour journey, we will pass by the Aguada Blanca Reservoir, located at 4,230 meters above sea level, a key water source for the city and a natural habitat for various bird species, including the colorful Andean flamingos (parihuanas).
Upon arrival at the trailhead, we will begin our hike with a gradual ascent to reach the base camp at 4,700 meters above sea level. The trek takes about three hours, during which we will enjoy panoramic views of the mountain range and the characteristic arid landscape of the region.
Once at camp, we will settle in and enjoy an early lunch/dinner at around 4:00 p.m. In the afternoon, our guide will share fascinating insights about the history of Misti Volcano and its neighboring Chachani, creating a moment of rest and camaraderie before the big challenge ahead. The night will be short, as it is essential to regain energy for the early morning summit ascent.

Misti summit - return to Arequipa

The hike, lasting approximately 6 to 7 hours, takes us across challenging volcanic terrain until we reach the summit at 5,825 meters above sea level. From the top, we will enjoy unforgettable views of Arequipa and its surroundings, as well as observe fumarolic activity from the crater—clear evidence that this volcano remains active.
After a well-deserved rest and time to take spectacular photos, we begin our descent back to base camp, which takes about 2 hours. Following a short break, we continue down to the point where our vehicle awaits to take us back to the city of Arequipa. We will arrive in the afternoon, concluding this unforgettable experience.

Tips:
To come to the top of the Misti is not necessary to be in good physical conditions and to possess a good bill of health; since the raise is done in two days, with an average of 12 hours of trek up to the top, staying to the 4610 m.s.n.m the first day, whereas the descent takes an average from 3 to 4 hours. This one is an activity full of adventure that really is worth a sorrow being to realize it.
