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.
