This route climbs Misti (19,111 ft, 5,825 m) in Arequipa, Peru, from the road end below Misti, at about 12,700 ft. The summit stands about 6,400 ft above the start. On the mapped line it is 12.0 miles round trip with about 8,200 ft of climbing, out and back the same way. OpenStreetMap grades the path as an alpine hiking route. No path is mapped for the last 676 ft (206 m) to the summit, so that finish is off-trail. This is a high-altitude mountaineering route: check current conditions, and go with the gear and experience it needs. This page has the mapped line and a 7-day forecast for the summit and the start.
