Climb Misti volcano, an excellent beginner’s peak and trekking challenge for your adventure holiday.

For those wanting to climb Misti (5,822m/19,101ft), the volcano is accessed from Arequipa.

Misti is the smallest in the range of three volcanoes in the area – Chachani (6,075m/19,931ft) and Ampato (6,310m/20,702ft) the other two.

It is no less imposing though, and its near-perfect conical shape is beautiful when seen on approach from the valley.

Climb Misti

The dry season (Apr-Nov) is the best time to scale Misti, when walkers are rewarded with stunning views of its crater and the surrounding volcanoes.

Our fully-supported and guided trips are the perfect way to tackle this big peak, and you need to be well acclimatised before starting this trek.

We offer three more volcano climbs in the Arequipa area – Ampato, Chachani and Coropuna – and all are an adventure for climbers and walkers.
