Detailed Itinerary: Day by Day
Day 1:
Arequipa - Base Camp
Our Chachani Volcano ascent adventure begins with pickup from your hotel in Arequipa, heading from this beautiful White City towards the slopes of Chachani Volcano.
Around 8:30 am, we will arrive by vehicle at the starting point of the hike, at approximately 5,000 meters above sea level. After a short rest, we will begin the trek—about three and a half hours (3 hours and 30 minutes) of ascent—enjoying stunning landscapes along the way. Afterwards, we will have a light box lunch before continuing to our base camp.
Upon arrival at base camp, we will settle in and later enjoy a delicious light dinner. We will also have a friendly briefing about the next day’s adventure as we prepare to reach our goal: Chachani Volcano.

Day 2:
Angel Peak - Fatima Peak - Chachani Summit - Arequipa
For our second day, we will rise very early around 1:00 a.m. to tackle the three peaks. After warming up with hot coca tea and a replenishing breakfast, we'll leave base camp behind with our day packs to begin the ascent to icy Angel Peak (5,825m), our first challenge. (As snow conditions on Chachani vary throughout the year, crampons and ice axes might be necessary depending on the month). Once we reach this point, you'll enjoy a breathtaking view of the White City of Arequipa from above.
We'll then continue ascending along a zigzag route, crossing the south face towards the second peak, Fatima (5,900m). At last, the main summit comes into view for the final climb of a 6 to 8-hour journey to Chachani's Summit (6,080m). From the top, the entire Arequipa region unfolds in a stunning panorama spanning the snow-covered Coropuna, Hualca Hualca, Sabancaya, and Ubinas peaks, the majestic Misti Volcano, and the Salinas Lagoon. After enjoying the summit, the descent back to base camp takes about 2 to 3 hours. We will pack up our camp and meet our 4x4 transport, arriving back in Arequipa between 2:00 and 3:00 p.m.

Just 11 kilometers from the Plaza de Armas, the historic district of San Jerónimo celebrates its patron saint every late September: 5 days of processions, 26+ dance troupes, a food fair, and a 16th-century church built on an Inca huaca. In 2016, it was declared Cultural Heritage of the Nation. Most tourists don't know it exists; many young locals don't either. This year it starts on Monday, September 28, with the main day on Wednesday 30.
Third Sunday of September. 9 a.m. The pututos sound and 1,500 students from the National School of Sciences of Cusco set off in procession from their school to the Sacsayhuamán esplanade. They are going to compete — for real — in speed, strength, and endurance tests that replicate those the Tahuantinsuyo used to determine who was ready for adulthood. It is not a choreography. It is the Warachicuy, and in 2025 it was declared a Cultural Interest.
Every September 14, thousands of people walk 48 kilometers from the city of Cusco to the sanctuary of the Señor de Huanca, in the district of San Salvador, province of Calca, at 3,100 m.a.s.l. It is neither a tourist trekking trip nor an organized tour: it is a genuine pilgrimage that sets off at night from San Jerónimo and arrives at dawn on the main day. Here we explain the route, what it physical demands, and why this tradition continues to draw devotees from all over Peru and neighboring countries.
