La ruta Marangu o “Coca-Cola” es la ruta más popular en el Kilimanjaro en la actualidad. Es la única ruta donde las pernoctaciones son en cabañas. Esto hace que Marangu sea una buena opción para hacer senderismo durante la temporada de lluvias.
La ruta comienza en el sureste del monte Kilimanjaro. La entrada a la ruta, Marangu Gate, está bastante cerca de nuestra base de escalada en Aishi Machame Hotel. El viaje hasta allí dura aproximadamente 1,5 horas.
Esta ruta presenta un sendero bien transitado que atraviesa todas las zonas climáticas, desde la selva tropical hasta el hielo eterno, y también lo invitará a paisajes africanos pintorescos.
Al ser la más popular y la menos costosa, la ruta puede estar concurrida en julio-septiembre y diciembre-marzo.
Se recomienda encarecidamente una opción de 6 días sobre la de 5 días para una mejor aclimatación.
