Along the way......
Misti – Lord, in Quechua – is by far the summit the most known in Peru and possibly one of the most impressive volcanoes, because of its shape, a perfect cone, resembling an upside down funnel. From the top of its 5 820 meters, it watches over Arequipa the White sprawling over and ancient deserted valley, fertile thanks to ancient eruptions… Active today, the fumes escaping its summit from time to time are a constant reminder of its majesty…
