Mount Kilimanjaro (Lemosho Route)

The rooftop of Africa. The Lemosho Route is widely considered the most scenic and successful path to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro (5,895m). Starting from the west at the Lemosho Glades, the trail traverses the vast Shira Plateau before joining the southern circuit. Over 7 or 8 days, hikers pass through five distinct ecological zones: tropical rainforest, heath, moorland, alpine desert, and the arctic summit zone. Its longer itinerary provides superior acclimatization, leading to some of the highest summit success rates on the mountain.

The Nahuel Huapi Traverse is a multi-day hut-to-hut route that circumnavigates the mountain ranges adjacent to San Carlos de Bariloche. The trail follows a high-alpine path, connecting four distinct mountain refugios via ridgelines, loose scree slopes, and granite passes. The terrain is characterized by a mix of Andean forest and exposed high-altitude terrain, where route-finding and stability on loose rock are primary requirements. The system of stone huts (refugios) provides a logistical framework for the journey, though hikers must be prepared for sustained physical output in an exposed mountain environment.
