Our ascent of Misti Volcano begins with a 6-hour trek, during which we will encounter native wildlife and vegetation, including cacti and various bird species. We will also enjoy a box lunch during our hike.

Misti Volcano is positioned 20 kilometers northeast of Arequipa city, along the Chili River, reaching an elevation of 5,820 meters above sea level. Its name derives from the Quechua language, signifying "white-skinned man." Recognized as an active volcano, it is part of the Salinas and Aguada Blanca National Reserve.

We will arrive at the Base Camp, located at 4,800 meters above sea level, where we will set up camp and enjoy a rejuvenating dinner.
