LEMOSHO ROUTE

Lemosho Route which is the newest route and an alternative to Shira route is undoubtedly the most scenic route to Kilimanjaro. Considered one of the easier routes to the highest mountain of Africa, Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is one of the best experiences you will have on the summit. The Lemosho route is one of the more up to date routes on Mount Kilimanjaro. The route starts in the west and instead of just meeting Shira Plateau (like Machame), Lemosho crosses it from Shira Ridge to Shira Camp. Climbers experience low traffic until the route joins the Machame route. A while later, Lemosho finishes a similar route Lava Tower, Barranco and Barafu, known as the southern circuit. The base number of days required for this route is six days, albeit eight days is perfect. Lemosho is viewed as the most beautiful route on Kilimanjaro and stipends all- encompassing vistas on different sides of the mountain. It is our preferred route since it offers an extraordinary parity of low traffic, picturesque perspectives, and a high summit achievement rate.

MACHAME ROUTE

Known as the “Whiskey” route, the Machame route is presently the most prominent route on the mountain. Contrasted and Marangu, the days on Machame are longer and the strolls are more extreme. The Machame route is viewed as a difficult route and is more qualified for progressively courageous people and those with some climbing or exploring background. Machame Route is considered as the most striking route because of the spectacular view of the summit. The route in on the southern side of the mountain, the northern side of the mountain receives heavier rainfall and has a more dense forest. The route is quite a stepper but very good for acclimatization. The summit attempt path from Barafu camp has less loose scree (rocks) compared to the summit attempt path from Kibo Hut, making it slightly easier to reach the crater rim. The route starts from the south, at that point travels east, navigating underneath Kilimanjaro’s southern ice field before summiting. The base number of days required for this route is six days, albeit seven days is prescribed. The Machame route is grandly beautiful and varied. However, because of the substantial groups, it loses a portion of its splendour.

The Top Parks To Explore On Your Chile Safari

Chile, a great nation that spans a long and narrow area of land along South America’s western coast, is home to a staggering variety of breathtaking landscapes that will surprise and stun anybody who visits its borders. The country contains various habitats and contrasting conditions since it crosses several lines of latitude and climate variances. You can choose from a remarkable array of breathtaking vistas to discover and take in when you combine this with its mountainous natural beauty.

Torres del Paine National Park

Probably the most popular park in the whole of Chile, the breathtaking landscapes are possibly what spring to mind when one thinks of the country. Regularly considered to be one of the most stunning locations in the world, Torres del Paine National Park is a must-see for anyone visiting Chile.

In actual fact, words can never do justice to the incredible images that are on show in this awe-inspiring part of the globe. Simply put, the stunning snow-topped mountains, crystal clear waters of the lakes and the rolling hills and valleys around them need to be seen to be believed. Beauty personified, this natural wonder is mesmerizing and bewitching such is its splendor.

Alberto de Agostini National Park

With sweeping fjords penetrating deep between the ravines that delineate one mountain from another, it is fair to say that Alberto de Agostini National Park certainly has an array of beautiful panoramas and landscapes for visitors to delight in.

Located right near the southern tip of Chile, the park comprises the final parts of the Andes before they trail away into a series of isolated mountains that slowly plunge into the depths of the Pacific.

Isolated and far removed from the rest of the country, some parts of the park were remarkably only discovered within the last century. Consequently the environment remains pristine and wild. Scarred by glacial movements, the rocky mountains contrast stunningly with the bright blue waters that surround them.

Rapa Nui National Park

Famous the world around, the massive monuments of Easter Island are like no others on earth. Unique in their appearance, how they were erected remained a mystery until recent times and even now there is some contention as to how it was done. These gigantic stone statues are a marvel of human ingenuity and, isolated in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, people at one point thought that aliens had transported them there such was the desolation of the island.

Impressive to behold, these awe-inspiring statues make Rapa Nui National Park a lovely and unique place to visit. Visitors will not fail to be impressed by the heads and, staring out over the ocean, they give off a melancholic feel as they are the last remaining bastion of their ancient civilization.

Vicente Perez Rosales National Park

In this mountainous country, impressive geological formations and volcanoes are never far away. This amazing park has a number of picture-perfect panoramas and scenes for visitors to enjoy as it is located in the endless Andes.

The scarred land looks marvelous and this stupendous landscape is due to the fact that glaciers open the ground over the millennia, forcing the rocks apart with their unstoppable movement. Among all of the mountains that dominate the environment is Lake Todos los Santos, a tranquil and peaceful body of water that stunningly contrasts with the fiery fury of the ancient volcanoes around it.

A boat trip on its calm waters is a great way to see the mountains in their element as the sun sparkles off of the water before you and the protruding peaks are reflected in the ripples of the lake. Wow.
