The Lava Tower is the big stone left after glaciation to take place many years ago, It is normally around this point, where for the first time, some climbers will start to feel symptoms acute mountain sickness such as breathlessness, irritability and headaches.
But good enough after lunch at Lava Tower you will descent again by almost 680m to the Barranco camp and after reaching the high altitude of 4600m at Lava Tower, the true acclimatization benefit of this day becomes clear,
Barranco Camp is the camp where you will be rewarded with beautiful landscape where offers great opportunities to take some beautiful photographs, I can say is the most beautiful camp all over Kilimanjaro , is the huge camp junction about four route, Machame route , Lemosho route , Shira route and Umbwe route joining together to the same route all the way to the summit ,
