Incredible opportunity. My guide was Lorenzo (he spoke English and German) and by his careful guidance my entire group of three summited. This Volcano is said to be one of the "Easiest 6000m summits" but keep in mind that NO 6000m SUMMIT is "easy"! Sleeping at above 5000m is very challenging (my brain couldn't get enough oxygen to fully relax, so I woke up every 20 minutes for 5 hours) and it took us 5 hours to climb the 900m to the summit in the morning. Since it's not a technical climb, the elevation is the main challenge of the hike. Do not underestimate it, but do not underestimate your own...

El Chachani es un volcán situado a 55 km de la ciudad de Arequipa, en el sur del Perú. Pese a su considerable altura, la nieve es muy escasa en su cumbre, debido a la extrema sequedad atmosférica reinante en la vertiente occidental de los Andes de esa región. Asimismo la cumbre se ha visto afectada por el calentamiento global, a tal punto que en el año 2008 perdió sus últimos remanentes glaciares.

En otoño y primavera pierde casi en su totalidad el hielo, que recupera en verano. Ascensión El ascenso a la cumbre no es de extrema dificultad y lo pueden realizar personas iniciadas en el mundo de la montaña. Por lo tanto, es muy popular entre los turistas y muchos de los organismos de Arequipa ofrecen excursiones a la cumbre, aunque la altura es un problema para aquellos que no van completamente aclimatados. Normalmente se va hasta la cara norte de la montaña; se puede llegar en camioneta 4x4, dejando la carretera principal cerca de Pampas Cañahuas. El campamento base se encuentra a unos 5200 msnm. A partir de las primeras horas de la mañana, se puede ver el amanecer desde la cima (en determinadas épocas del año es posible incluso ver en el horizonte el litoral peruano). Los excursionistas cruzaban las montañas de El Ángel y Fátima antes de subir en sí Chachani. Esta ruta está abandonada porque hay demasiado glacial que cubre el camino que...

Great way to get to experience 6000 masl. To get here you can také a tour, or if you are well expeeiwnced and aclimatized traveler you can do it on your own, only ordering transport from arequipa. The Snow is extremely limited in recent years, an in May 2018 we were able to walk up. The summit without ice axe or crampons, only about 50 meters walking on snoww,...

Nice, challenging mountain. Hopefully they can add more signs though. Especially at the rocks part. Some reflectors over there would help since it is hard to see the spray paint at night.
