Mount Kilimanjaro

El monte Kilimanjaro está formado por tres volcanes, siendo Kibo el más alto. Llegar a la cima, el Uhuru Peak (Pico de la Libertad), es una sensación que no dejará indiferente a nadie. Con sus 5.895 metros de altura, es el punto más elevado del continente africano y la montaña aislada (que no forma parte de una cordillera) más alta del mundo. Además, es especialmente popular porque no se requieren conocimientos técnicos de escalada para subirlo. Aun así, la falta de oxígeno debido a la altitud hace que sea un trekking exigente y puede llegar a ser peligroso si no se cumplen con ciertas normas. Hay varias rutas posibles. Yo subí por la ruta Marangu, también conocida como ruta de la coca-cola, ya que es la más famosa. También es la única que tiene refugios y la más directa. El mínimo de días de trekking son 5, aunque es altamente recomendable hacerlo con 6 para tener una mejor aclimatación durante la ascensión. Para subir es obligatorio ir con un guía. Hay miles de empresas que organizan el trekking, pero yo recomiendo contratarlo con alguna empresa local. Paseando por las calles de Moshi, se pueden encontrar infinitas opciones.

Mount Kilimanjaro is composed of three volcanoes Kibo being the most high. Reaching the summit, Uhuru Peak (Freedom Peak), is a feeling that does not leave anyone indifferent. With its 5,895 meters high, is the most elevated point of the African continent and isolated mountain (which is not part of a mountain range) ms highest in the world. In addition, it is especially popular because no climbing technical knowledge required to upload. Even so, the lack of oxygen due to the altitude makes it a demanding trekking and can become dangerous if they do not meet certain standards. There are several possible routes. I sub for the Marangu route, also known as route cokes, as it is the most famous. It is also the only one who has shelters and more direct. The minimum of days of trekking are 5, although it is highly advisable to do with 6 to get a better acclimatization during the ascent. To upload is required to go with a guide. There are thousands of companies that organize the trekking, but I recommend hiring with a local company. Walking through the streets of Moshi, you can find endless options.

premetto che sono stata solo nelle zone circostanti il parco, quindi non potrei dare consigli per la scalata ma una bella passeggiata nei dintorni la consiglio. Sarete circondati da piantagioni di caffè e banane in un ambiente che è molto diverso dalle altre zone della Tanzania.

I state that I was only in the areas surrounding the park, so I could not give advice for the climb but a nice walk around the council. You will be surrounded by coffee and banana plantations in an environment that is very different from other parts of Tanzania.
