I got sick and had to turn back on attempt at Misti. Not Misti's fault.
I will say that the drive out to the trailhead takes you through some slums of Arequipa, and then along a stretch of road that the town uses as a dump. Just garbage rotting on the side of the road for a mile. Certainly the...

The Misti is the highlight of Arequipa. If you like climbing you can do it in 2 days. Tours depart from Arequipa.

It's always spectacular when you get up this high. In a country full of mountains, El Misti is worth a look. Recommended

Once you land at Arequipa and disembark from the aircraft.The magnificent outline of Misti the volcano greets you with it's grandeur.
You cannot fail to ignore it as it stands 5000mtrs.Great photo's from the runway as yo head for airport and there are other great views from Arequipa itself.

Do the 2 day trek (less than 50 dollars/person equipement/diner/breakfast/car and guide included).
Because of the altitude it is not easy to go to the top but it so worths it!!!
El Misti is 5825m high. It is really breathtaking.
Enjoy the view.
