CLIMBING TOUR FROM PUNO TO VOLCAN MISTI $268 USD Per Person - Group Service

Climb by North East face - Aguada Blanca Base camp 2 Days - 1 Night

PERU ADVENTURE TOURS organize one of the best connections to climb Misti volcano in 2 days beginning in Puno. This new alternative was designed by PERU ADVENTURE TOURS Mountain guides for travelers coming from the Altiplano and connecting directly to the base camp without loss of acclimatization. The expedition starts in Puno or another point over 3500M. This alternative is better of the classical option beginning in Arequipa. Many tour operators travel guide books (lonely planet and others) say spend two nights over 2300M (Arequipa) is enough to be ready climb Misti volcano, this is not true because Arequipa is not enough high. If you really want to reach summit of Misti Volcano or another high Mountains over six thousand meters we strong recommend spending few nights over 3500M to get better acclimatization and Puno - Lake Titicaca is the best place for you.
