Misti, also known as Putina〔Thomas Besom, Of Summits and Sacrifice: An Ethnohistoric Study of Inka Religious Practices, An ethnohistoric study of Inka religious practices, University of Texas press, 2009〕〔(ucsm.edu.pe )〕 or Wawa Putina ''(Guagua Putina)''〔 〕 is a stratovolcano located in southern Peru near the city of Arequipa. With its seasonally snow-capped, symmetrical cone, Misti stands at above sea level and lies between mount Chachani () and Pikchu Pikchu volcano (). Its last eruption was in 1985, 198 years after its last documented eruption.〔 〕 ==Description== Misti has three concentric craters. In the inner crater fumarole activity can be seen. Near the inner crater six Inca mummies and rare Inca artifacts were found in 1998 during a month-long excavation directed by archaeologists Johan Reinhard and Jose Antonio Chavez. These findings are currently stored at the ''Museo de Santuarios Andinos'' in Arequipa. There are two main climbing routes on the volcano. The Pastores route starts at . Usually a camp is made in at Nido de Aguilas. The Aguada Blanca route starts at near the Aguada Blanca reservoir, and a camp is made in at Monte Blanco (the camp is named after Mont Blanc, the summit of which is approximately the same elevation as the camp). Neither climbing routes presents technical difficulties, but both are considered strenuous because of the steep loose sand slopes. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Misti」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
