Climbing Chachani Volcano
DAY 1
Meet at our main office and check all the climbing and camping gear, Travel in our four wheel drive, for 3 hours from Arequipa. On the way up to Chachani Mountain, we stop in the national reserve of Aguada Blanca and Salinas, where it is possible to observe the wonderful animals called Vicuñas, Guanacos, Eagles, Viscachas, Deer and sometimes Condors. Living at 4000 meters above sea level, they are protected species by the government and all the communities surrounding the reserve and Chachani Mountain.
After arriving at 5000 meters in jeep, start to hike to the base camp, located at 5300 meters. Set-up tents and spend the night.
DAY 2
Wake-up time depending on how is the weather and after a hot energetic breakfast we start the climb to the summit. If Chachani is completely covered by the snow, we take all our necessary climbing equipment. From the base camp to Chachani summit (6070m) takes between 4 - 6 hours doing slow steps and battling with the altitude. After reaching the top, there we stay for a nice time getting spectacular views of the landscapes of Coropuna, Ampato, Hualca Hualca, Sabancaya, Misti, Ubinas, etc.
After the stay at the top of Chachani, we go back down, two hours approximately to our base camp, packing all the camping equipment and continue going down to our private 4WD.
Come back to Arequipa and end of our trip.
