crush's question:
I'd like to hike on El Misti Volcano from Arequipa. Are there any easier routes?(give a different answer) .
Climbing a 5882m volcano is NOT easy no matter what route you choose. One possibility is to to start from the hydro plant from where it's 1 day to the shelter at 4800m. From there it's 4 to 6 hours to the top (be there before 11 am for a clear view). If you would start descending at 12, you'll be at the plant at about 6pm. Have a safe trip and make sure to take enough water and food with you.
