You'll start the day with breakfast, then leave the rainforest behind as you follow an ascending path.
You will continue along the trail, crossing a little valley and ascending a steep, rocky ridge covered with heather until you reach the end of the ridge.
The path now turns west and leads you into a river gorge, where you can take a break and have dinner.
You'll conclude the day at the Shira campsite, where you’ll spend the night.

You'll begin the day by moving east from the Shira Plateau, ascending along a ridge. You’ll pass by the junction that leads to the Kibo peak.
As you proceed, your direction changes to the southeast, leading you to the Lava Tower, often referred to as the “Shark’s Tooth.”
After the Lava Tower, you’ll reach a second junction that takes you up to the Arrow Glacier at an altitude of 16,000 feet.
You'll continue your journey by descending to the Barranco Hut, located at an altitude of 13,000 feet. Here, you’ll rest, enjoy dinner, and spend the night.
