Rise

The rise of the top thus difficult and is not perhaps carried out in the day by inexperienced people. She thus is very appreciated tourists and much of agencies of Arequipa excursions guided at the top propose, although altitude is a problem for those which were not completely acclimatized. On the other hand the remainder of the year, it is necessary to be encordé and to use ice axes and cramps.

One generally climbs the mountain by his northern face, which one reaches in 4x4, while leaving the main roads close to Pampas Cañahuas. The base camp is with approximately 5.200 meters of altitude. While leaving at the first hours morning, one can attend the rising of the sun since the top. The hikers cross the mountains El Angel and Fatima before climbing Chachani itself.
