Volcano Chachani: 19,931 feet. The highest mountain I have ever climbed (Mt. Kilimanjaro is 19,341 ft).
My fellow climbers - so young!
Chachani as seen from the town of Arequipa.
Our tour took us first by Jeep to the base of the volcano, from where we hiked to our camp. There were strange green azorella plants along the way.

Ice fields near the summit.
We made it!
We descended down a steep sandy slope.
One of the most beautiful volcanoes I have ever seen.
