Nevado Chachani is the highest of the mountains near
the city of Arequipa in southern Peru. Its name means “skirt” in
Quechua, and a female character is normally attributed to the mountain
in local legends.
As a result of the very low precipitation in the Arequipa area, Chachani
does not have a permanent ice cap or glaciers. Climbing Chachani is
popular, though the altitude is considered highly challenging for those
who are not fully acclimatized.
