En este nuestro retorno a la blanca y eterna ciudad, al llegar el aeropuerto Rodriguez Ballon comprobamos como el efecto del cambio climático esta afectando irremediablemente las cumbre nevados de este volcán. Una de las antiguas características de este cumbres era que sus cumbres lucían nieves eternas, las que ahora están afectadas, sus picachos lucen sin nieve y la verdad es que es muy difícil acostumbrarse a este nuevo paisaje.

Hiked this with Weiki tours on August 6-7 2017 as a solo female. I was put in a group with 2 guides and 8 other people (only one other female) and I booked through Mb backpackers hostel for about $110 USD. We left at 8am, drove to the 5000m trailhead then hiked to our base camp located at 5200m elevation. Weiki provides sleeping bags, tent and snow pant/jacket/glove rentals and you can rent hiking poles and a headlamp for an extra 30 sol altogether. Hiking boots are also available for rent. We hung out at base camp, had a meal then went to bed at 6pm. Woke up at 1 and started hiking around 2, and summited around 6:45am. This hike was amazing but I really felt the altitude and the cold at around 5600m. I kept going but it was NOT easy - quite hard to breathe and I started getting really cold hands - the guides said some women can’t make it past a certain point due to cold in extreme ties (a female circulation thing). I wore a thin pair of gloves under my ski gloves but would recommend at least 1 more thick pair under - you need them! The summit was amazing and well worth it. Was absolutely exhausted on the way down but was quick to ascend!
Don’t attempt this hike if you haven’t been at at least Arequipa’s elevation for 2 days before this hike - everyone in our group summited but we had two people throwing up and really slowed down because of the altitude!

I did this climb in 1 day. We left around midnight from Arequipa to drive to the starting point a few hours away. We walked about an hour before we reached base camp to have breakfast. Then we hiked to the top, stayed for a brief 10 minutes, and made our way back to the jeep by early afternoon.
My guide's name is Victor Hugo Gonzales Gonzales, and he was very attentive to me and the other two guys hiking that day. At breakfast, he was very friendly and made me feel comfortable. Before the hike he informed us about what to expect and that we should keep a slow, steady pace. I think he sat a good pace for our group. During the hike he continuously checked on us. He gave me a couple of glucose tablets around 5800 meters for quick energy. Victor has many years of experience hiking and mountaineering in Peru. I recommend going with him.
As for the hike itself, definitely make sure you are acclimatized. Everyone is different and each day can be different as well. I have been in high altitude a lot and have responded differently on each hike. Normally I get a headache in the middle of my forehead, but this day I was pretty lethargic. I think it would be better to camp at base camp and then hike the following day.
I am glad I did this hike; it was a great goal to accomplish. It was difficult only because of the altitude. It was not technical.

Wir haben den Chachani an 2 Tagen bestiegen. Unserer Meinung nach sollte man sich auf die 2 Tage Zeit nehmen, da man wenn man eine Eintagestour macht im Dunkeln den ersten Teil des Weges hinter sich bringen muss. Dieser führt über große Felsbrocken und ist nachts sicherlich nicht spaßig.
Wir haben unsere Tour bei Peruvian Holidays in der Straße Santa Catalina 203 bei einem Typen namens Nino gebucht.
Er kam uns sehr vertrauenswürdig vor, da er uns wirklich sehr genau über alles aufgeklärt hat und sich viel Zeit genommen hat.
Wir haben uns vorher sehr genau informiert und wussten das man die Tour nicht mit Quechua machen soll. Deswegen haben wir auch mehrmals nachgefragt ob er mit einer anderen Agentur zusammenarbeitet. Dies hat er verneint. Es läuft alles über seine Agentur und der Guide nimmt nachts einen Schlafsack und eine Sauerstoffflasche mit, falls jemand während des Aufstiegs Probleme bekommt. Uns war das sehr sympathisch und so haben wir uns dazu entschieden 400 Sol pro Person zu zahlen. Bei Quechua bekommt man das ganze für 200 - 300 Sol.
Außerdem wollte er mit uns kommen.
Am nächsten morgen die erste Enttäuschung: ein anderer Guide. Die zweite Enttäuschung wir landen in einem Lager für Ausrüstung, in dem es statt der versprochenen dicken Jacke nur Fleecepullis gibt.
Als wir dann im Basecamp angekommen sind, sehen wir das Werbeplakat von Quechua.
Alle anderen hatten natürlich viel weniger gezahlt.
Wir hatten Glück, da unser Guide Julio war, nicht Ivan, der wohl schrecklich sein muss.
Wir haben die Tour dank Julio gut gemeistert aber lasst euch bloß nicht von Nino/Peruvian Holidays oder Ivan/Quechua veräppeln. Bucht einfach woanders.

6075 meters high. This volcano is accessible in 2 days only (even 1), just make sure you're acclimatized, because not all companies ask you.
In march it was snowing on us at night, so in addition to the planned cold and altitude, 50cm of powder was there as well, which made it very difficult...
the views in the end totally worth it! And the feeling of reaching a 6000+ summit!

Wir waren im Juli 2016 in Arequipa und wollten unseren ersten 6000er besteigen.
Agenturen gibt es unzählige. Preise und Leistung sind sehr unterschiedlich.
Wir landeten schließlich in der Agentur Quechua.
Da wir durch unseren Aufenthalt in Bolivien lange über 4000 m waren und durch eine Trekking Tour über den Salkanty Pass schon akklimatisiert waren, wollten wir auf die eiskalte Übernachtung auf 5000 m verzichten. Erholen tut man sich auf dieser Höhe sowieso nicht mehr. Unserem Wunsch wurde ohne Widerspruch nachgekommen, nachdem sich die nette Dame im Laden über unsere Erfahrungen am Berg und unsere Akklimatisation informiert hatte. Sie verriet und noch, dass wir mit dem Besitzer des Ladens aufsteigen würden. Ivan.
Für den nächsten Tag war ein Gespräch mit dem Bergführer geplant.
Natürlich schauten wir im Hotel gleich nochmal nach Bewertungen und fanden nur negatives über unseren Guide. Das konnte ja spannend werden. Das geplante Gespräch fand nicht statt (da Ivan noch auf einer Klettertour war). Da wir aus Berichten wussten was auf uns zu kommt und wir Erfahrung am Berg haben war das nicht so schlimm. Nur leider konnten wir uns vorher kein eigenes Bild von Ivan machen und waren sehr gespannt...
Nachts um 24 Uhr holte uns der Fahrer im Hotel ab. Unsere Gruppe bestand nur aus uns beiden. Anschließend holten wir Ivan ab. Und wir wurden positiv überrascht. So schlimm wirkte er gar nicht. Nach einer langen, ungemütlichen Fahrt erreichten wir dann den Ausgangspunkt der Tour. Die genaue Tour möchte ich hier nicht beschreiben, da gibt es schon genug Artikel. Ich möchte vielmehr hervorheben wir gut die Tour mit Ivan war (nachdem es eben leider so viele schlechte Bewertungen gibt).
Am Zeltplatz haben wir alles abgelebt was wir am Berg oben nicht brauchten (auch die Stirnlampen). Das war Gold wert. Jedes Gramm das man tragen muss merkt man in der Höhe.
Er hat uns in Ruhe erklärt auf was wir achten müssen. Hat ein gemächliches Tempo vorgelegt, so dass wir immer gut mitkamen. Pausen gab es auch genug.
Wir haben uns jederzeit gut aufgehoben und sicher gefühlt. Er hat uns immer wieder darauf hingewiesen, wie wichtig es ist langsam aber beständig weiter zu laufen. Auch wenn man das Gefühl hat, nicht mehr zu können und nur noch langsam voran kommt. Die Tour ist leicht, ohne Schwierigkeiten, aber man ist auf über 5000 hm und da sollte man sich nicht zu lange aufhalten. Und das er da nicht um den heißen Brei rumredet, sondern auch mal bestimmt sagt, dass es jetzt weiter geht, finde ich gerechtfertigt und erwarte ich sogar von einem guten Bergführer.
Wir beide sind erfahren in den Bergen. Unsere Ausrüstung war gut. So etwas merkt auch der Bergführer. Vielleicht war es deswegen so nett zu uns. Wir würden auf jeden Fall jederzeit wieder mit ihm gehen.
Ich denke es ist verständlich, dass man mal genervt reagiert, wenn man Kunden dabei hat, die weder akklimatisiert sind, noch einen Fuß vor den anderen setzen können am Berg. Es ist kein "Ausflugsberg", sondern die Gefahren des Höhenbergsteigens sind immer präsent. Wenn man da den ein oder anderen negativen Bericht liest, wundert es mich nicht das er so reagiert hat. Am Berg zurück lassen würde er nie jemanden, da sind wir uns sicher.

The tour was suppose to include an English speaking guide, water and snacks, maintained bikes with a repair kit and spare parts, finish at 2. None of these things were included!!!!
Our tour was changed to accommodate requests of two other passengers, which was fine I suppose. But it meant spending ages in a car and stopping every ten yards to take a photo when anyone wanted to stop. (How many alpaca photos can anyone need????) It was frustrating as it was advertised as an active tour and from 7 30 (they were late) to 1 pm we've only been out the car for photo stops.
No water was included, no snacks no food!!!! We were quite in prepared and starving by the time the biking started.
The mountain biking: first of all, it's not technically mountain biking, it's cycling down a gravel road we had driven up on a very dodgy, poorly maintain hard tail bike. (Whilst starving, did I mention they still haven't fed us!!!) The path has LOADS of sandy patches lasting 100-500m at a time, making it hard to maneouver if you had a decent boke, let alone these ones, plus massive trucks coming in both directions which you had to dodge!
The Bikes: poorly maintained hardtails that weren't fit for purpose! I got a flat and he didn't have a spare tube, just a spare wheel that didn't fit my bike properly. After a bit of tinkering with it, he got it to work. I pointed out it was a bit loose still but he said it will be fine, mtb usually are a bit loose to accommodate the suspension. It wasn't fine! A km down I got thrown off and the wheel became disconnected from the bike. The bike, the front wheel and myself ended up seperated by a couple of meters, luckily in one of the many sand patches mention above.
The guide had no clue how to fix the bike! (I knew more about them than he did!) He just said no spare tubes, no repair kit as advertised and I spent the rest of the journey back in the car again! He didn't speak English and my Spanish is limited. It was so frustrating! He said the bikes aren't his problem he's just a driver! Grrrrr
We arrive at the meeting place and my friend wasn't there (she was ahead of us by the time we fiddled with my bike and got it back on the truck). After 10 minutes of faffing he deemed it okay to look for her. (There was a single turn off, she had obviously missed it) He sent another member of the group off to intercept her. We eventually found my friend but now had lost the other guy. We drove for 10 minutes in random directions until eventually we found him.
We got at 5 pm. Starving! Taking hangry to new levels!!!! When we complained, the tour organiser said he would speak to the driver and come to the hotel at 9 that evening to sort things out. We waited until 10 and he didn't show. Grrr!!!!!
On summary! Don't do it! Poor bikes, scenery is okay but not worth the time spent in a car! If you choose to do so, bring plenty of food and water!!!!

Chachani se supone la montana más facil de subir entre todas las montanas mayores que 6000 metros. Normalmente no hay nieve (en Noviembre) y como ele 4WD te sube has ta aproximadamente 4800 metros, tienes que caminar solamente 200 metros de altura para campo base. Y la subida misma es muy facil, solamente hay problemas de altura. Y nonca he usado mi portatil en altura de 6080 metros para llamar taxi. Solamente aquí.

My wife and I booked to climb Chachani the day after we returned from the Colca Canyon tour. We were a little sore already but are fairly tough. We completed the first days climb easy enough but this was only a two hour hike. The test was to come on day two. We were woken at 12.30am given a simple breakfast and we set off. It was very cold, windy, steep, dark and obviously an oxygen poor environment. About half way up the third group member pulled out as he had been suffering from altitude sickness. He headed back to came while my wife and I soldiered on. It was a mental battle to keep going but worth it as getting to the top was awesome. Our guide looked after us the whole way. It was very hard however. If you are not fit or you think you might struggle with the altitude or -10° temperatures then don't bother. It's a mental struggle the whole way.

In 2013 I hiked Misti volcano with Quechua Exploring Agency and had very positive experience. This year I came back to Arequipa with strong desire for climbing the second, higher pick near the city - volcano Chachani. Obviously I started looking for the agency I have already known, and then I read all bad reviews about trips with this company. I've started wondering what could have changed during these 2 years? With all prejudices I booked a trip to Chachani with them, mostly because of the lower price and self-confidence on my own mountain-hiking experience; I wasn't beginner so I could reach the summit even with bad-prepared expedition. But all my worries were pointless, because trip was as great as the previous one. We left Arequipa in group of 8 people and 4 reached the summit. 4 people who didn't make it could blamed only themselves - were just bad-prepared. For example, one couple came to 5000 masl directly from the coast in less than 48 hrs; it is not possible for human organism to acclimatize well in so short time. However, our guides (we had 2) cared about every single person and treated them with respect; when somebody got sick, one guide could walk him down, and then came back to the group. Same with the equipment - in the office they gave us all we needed. Any further lack resulted from an inattention of the tourists in the agency - like one person forgot about bringing the flashlight to the camp, even we all knew we would start hike during the night, and stuff asked us about additional equipment multiple times. And yup, equipment is not brand-new, but it's not a fashion week - it's just sufficient if you don't have your own.
I had a wonderful time and personally couldn't find any disadvantages. Guides did everything that we had a great, positive experience, even those who couldn't reach the top. Chachani is a beautiful mountain, we had great weather and on the way up we saw herds of vicuñas and guanacos. But before you will decide to hike Chachani, remember: maybe it's a popular tourist route, but it's still located in high mountains. You should be at least little experienced, because even the best tourist agency could not think for yourself.
