Day 1:
Village of Tuti (3,900 metres) to the quebrada de Aquenta (4,600 metres), where we make camp.

Day 2:
From Aquenta to the quebrada de Carhuasanta (4,700 metres) where we make base camp, a trek of approximately 4 hours.

Day 3:
From the base camp we head to Manantial, the source of the Amazon, a trek of about one hour. From there we continue to the peak of Nevado Misi (5,597 metres), another 3 hours trek, and later return to Base Camp.

Day 4:
We return to the village of Tuti, and from there to Chivay and Arequipa. There's also the option of making the return journey in 4WD.

Alternative Routes: It's also possible to leave from the village of Coporaque (4 days) or leave from Tuti and take a shorter route, making the trip in two days. With a 4WD, the mountain and the source of the Amazon can even be done within one day, depending on the visitor's acclimatisation to the altitude.
