Salinas y Aguada Blanca National Reserve
The beginning of the hike seems to be very easy since it is not steep at all, but take it easy it is just the beginning we will be hiking over 5000 m on a volcanic terrain, which presents certain obstacles along the way, let’s let the mountain tour guide set the best pace to progress effectively and maintain an adequate heart rate.
Chachani has a very special volcanic environment surrounded by endemic vegetation, trails covered with ash, sand and huge volcanic rocks product of several eruptive events from thousands and millions years in the past.
This first part takes about 3.5 km (1.5 - 2 hours) to get the fox camp, where we take a good break to rest, rehydrate and enjoy everything that surrounds us, It is inevitable to look for Chachani summit observing its huge picks, do not worry you will see it later, the darkness show us an amazing sky and most of the climbers realize that they are in a privileged place where the view of the Milky Way and the constellations is truly surprising.

Chachani Volcano
After a moment we continue on the second part, 6 or 7 hrs climb toward the top, we follow a zig zag trail that seems endless but not impossible, during the ascent we take short breaks at specific points, Look backward and see how far we are from the beginning, use it to motivate yourself, remember it is preferable to have a slow and regular rhythm than a fast and choppy one.
around 5950 m we have to cross a ridge to get into the extinct crater to take the last stop before we conquer the summit, sit down to drink and have look the cross situated on the top of Chachani.
15 minutes later we will have conquered the summit of the Chachani (6075 meters) This is the best place to release your emotions, celebrate with your group and enjoy a moment full of freedom and satisfaction, take the time you want to get the best 360° panoramic view of a unique landscape surrounded by volcanoes, valleys, lagoons and Arequipa city in the distance and if clarity allows the Pacific Ocean on the horizon.
