This section of the trail involves several ascents and descents, ultimately bringing you to a camp situated at over 4,600 m. While this part of the trek may be challenging, it’s essential for acclimatization, so you’ll spend 1–2 hours at Lava Tower to help your body adjust to the altitude.

After lunch, you will descend to Barranco Camp, where you’ll be greeted by the iconic Barranco Wall—a massive and steep rock face. The climb up the Barranco Wall is scheduled for the following day, but don’t worry, as it’s not as intimidating as it looks and has a simple hiking trail.

Following the Barranco Wall, you’ll embark on a more challenging section to Karanga Camp, characterized by several ascents and descents. Don’t worry, as your guides will ensure the group maintains an optimal pace. Upon reaching Karanga Camp, you’ll enjoy a warm lunch before continuing on to Barafu Camp.
