Day 2: Umbwe Camp (2850 m) to Barranco Camp (3900m)
shortly after leaving the camp, the Montane Forest will begin to thin and will eventually be replaced rockier terrain, sparser undergrowth and straggly, moss covered trees. Continuing along a spectacular ridge we will gain attitude and will catch glimpses of Kilimanjaro, rising majestically ahead of you-etched against the blue sky. As you approach the Barranco Valley, the path flattens. The camp is situated in the valley below the Breach and Great Barranco wall, which should provide you a memorable sunset while your dinner is prepared.
