Barranco Valley on Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania

Today’s travel photo is a view of the Barranco Valley on Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania. We reached this point on day three of the trek along the Machame Route on Mount Kilimanjaro, where we had to climb up to the Lava Tower at 4600 metres, before trekking down into the Barranco Valley to our camp for the night. In this photo, you can see a trail heading up the other side of the valley. That is the Great Barranco Wall and where we would be trekking the following day. From this point, after a long day of trekking, that steep trail looked quite daunting. By the time we got to the camp at the bottom of the valley, everyone was very much in need of a rest.
