Resumen

Por qué te encantará

Los detalles completos del viaje están en inglés. Pregúntanos lo que quieras en español.

The Shira route starts high on the western side of the mountain: you drive almost to the Shira Plateau and begin walking in open moorland. From Shira 2 it follows the classic southern circuit past the Lava Tower and over the Barranco Wall to the summit.

Because you start high, it suits hikers who have already spent time at altitude — for example after Mount Meru. The plateau, the Shira Cathedral and the views of Kibo are wonderful from the very first day.

  • Start high on the Shira Plateau
  • Shira Cathedral and wide open moorland
  • Lava Tower and the Barranco Wall
  • Descend through the Mweka rainforest

Ruta: Moshi – Shira Gate – Shira 1 – Shira 2 – Lava Tower – Barranco – Barafu – Uhuru Peak – Mweka Gate
