Hiking time: 7 hours

Distance: Approximately 15 kilometers

Habitat: Semi-desert

Following an early morning breakfast, we left the moorland environment and enter the semi desert and rocky landscape. After 5 hours of walking east, we we came face to face with the Lava Tower (4630m) where we had lunch.

After lunch, we descended from Lava Tower (4630m) to the Barranco Campsite (3950m). The 6800m descent gave us a huge advantage to allow our bodies to adjust to the conditions of high altitude.

Living in the tents are no very comfortable.Baca selengkapnya
