2 DAYS CHACHANI
MOUNTAIN CLIMBING
Overview
Chachani is a
volcano located in southern Peru. 55 km from Arequipa city despite its considerable height,
snow is very scarce on its summit, due to the extreme atmospheric sequence
prevailing on the western slope of the Andes in that region. Likewise, the
summit has been affected by global warming, to such an extent that in 2008 it lost its last glacial remnants.
The ascent to the summit is not extremely difficult and can be done by people
who are new to the world of mountaineering. Therefore, it is very popular for
tourists, although the altitude is a problem for those who are not fully
acclimatized. At certain times of the year it is even possible to see the
Peruvian coast on the horizon.
Chachani has 6075 m.a.s.l. is
About 3 hours away from the City and can
only be reached with a 4WD vehicle. Chachani
means "skirt" in Quechua
and it is divided into three picks Chachani 6080m Angel 5825 m and
Fatima 5900 m.
Chachani usually has some covering of snow and ice, and it's
necessary to take ice axe and crampons also plenty of warm/thermal clothing as
temperatures can be extremely cold on the mountainside

ITINERARY
Day 1
AREQUIPA |
ABRA | CHACHANI BASE CAMP
Our expedition to climb Chachani Volcano pick you up at the
reception of your hotel.
(Arequipa city at 9:00am)
(Puno city at 6:00am) get more information about this option.
We take a journey for about 3 hours but once we get into the vicuña National reserve we stop to enjoy
this beautiful mountain scenery cover with a blanked of unique flora and fauna
and some groups of wild south American camels very often walking in search of
food and water, we take pictures of everything that surrounds this magical
place, and after a bit more than one hour we reach the nearly 5000m.a.s.l here we stop to prepare
ourselves and organize the equipment that we have to carry, also it will be the
place for us to eat a box lunch before we star hiking to the Chachani’s base camp.
The
beginning of the hike look very easy since this part of the mountain is not
steep at all, but do not trust yourself since we will be hiking over 5000 meters on a volcanic terrain
which will present us certain obstacles along the way, such as a 20 minutes section
of big boulders that we have to cross slowly, so let our Mountain tour guide
sets the best rhythm to have an adequate progress, after about 1.5 or 2 hours we enter to Chachani base camp
situated at 5215m.a.s.l. (It is normal that during the hike we
can feel something like, a light shortness of breath, so remember this is not a
competition and do not forget that rehydration is very important, drink water
before and during the expedition to CHACHANI).once at the base camp
take you time to rest, we have plenty of time to set the tents up later.
only for the ones who want to explore more, you can take a walk around anyway
it is free time, but don't push yourself or stress too much, talk to your tour
guide, (communication
is always very important), this day the mountain tour Guide of Chachani Expedition has to cook for the group
(he will
prepare high-calorie foods so that our body regains energy for the next day
climb). Later on enjoy the
hot meal, while the tour guide talk about the program for the next day, and try
to sleep early because usually the next day we start early too.
(The
tour guided will decide that point depending and different circumstances).
do not forget before
you enter inside the tent to have look of the sky the milky way is amazing,
observe a lot off constellations, have a good night…!
(Usually the temperature all year long is ok during the day, but in fall and winter as soon as the sun goes the temperature comes down dramatically, stay warm).

am but it will depend on the weather conditions.
After something to eat and a hot cup of coca tea we departure from the base
camp carrying a day pack only to ascent the 6-7 hrs. till the top of Chachani volcano, well, most of the
climb goes up on a zig zag path, along the way we do some stops to get to the
first ridge, situated at 5700 meters, there we can use
the time to eat, drink something, take pictures
or just to rest enough 10 -15 minutes later we continue climbing following the
ridge for about 100 meters, then we get out of it crossing a short traversy to pass
to the other face of Chachani mountain, later before we get near to the lips of the Chachanis
extinct crater, the path becomes steeper, but still we have to cross carefully
another small ridge and ready..! We enter into the crater then we do the last
part, 15 more minutes for this the final climb to reach our goal, the 6075 meters of Chachani Summit.
From the summit we get the most exiting view, 360° panorama of an Andean
landscape full of volcanos such as Misti, Pichu pichu, Coropuna, Ampato, Hualca Hualca and the active Sabancaya very likely
releasing ash, after a good moment of happiness enjoying all this wonder we
return to the base camp, it will take about 1:30 hours approx. there we stop to eat, rest and to pack up
everything. later at the indicated time we hike the last part. (1.5 hrs) where our vehicle is waiting
