Greetings from Tanzania! We continue publishing our Kilimanjaro expedition diary.
Day 2. We arrived at the gate, completed all the paperwork, ate, and set out on a trek through the beautiful jungle. Today was one of the most beautiful treks on the entire route, although each day was unique, beautiful in its own way.
The trail ran through equatorial forest with giant trees, vines, lichens, and tree ferns for almost the entire day. Closer to camp, the forest gave way to thickets of giant heather. Along the way, we were accompanied by monkeys, bridges, and waterfalls.
We rose above the clouds. We arrived at Mandara Camp at 2800 meters, at the upper tree line. We settled in, discussed our plans for the next day, and settled in for a well-deserved rest.

The 7 Summits Club guide Olya Rumyantseva sends a message from Mexico:
Greetings from Mexico to everyone from the Axolotl group! Our group is the first of many the 7 Summits Club groups this fall to travel across Mexico, from summit to summit, toward North America's highest volcano, Orizaba.
Yesterday, we warmed up by climbing pyramids. Today, we had another acclimatization day and our first volcano, La Malinche. At almost 4,500 meters, we summited it as a team after a wonderful walk through a beautiful forest, a long climb over rocks, and even some rock climbing at the end.
The climb to La Malinche was challenging for everyone, but everyone accomplished the task brilliantly. Tomorrow, better acclimatized and almost rested, we will climb to the first camp on the slopes of the Orizaba volcano.
