→Resupply and Accommodation along the Route
Water filling possible in the natural reserve of pingüina Rey's, appart from that, take advantages of the not so frequent rivers around, or try to stop cars passing threw there.

Most of the route is open pampa and is too windy and exposed to camp. Once you are down from the high pampa there is virtually no water, water only available at the locations marked Bridge on the track file, near the first two estancias past the junction with high route, Rio Pantanos, Pinguino Rey and Cameron. No water at any of the huts.
11KM from Porvenir on the high route SOBO a small hut 100M off RR on RHS, mattress, sleeps one, not luxury. At about KM 13 small hills form a windbreak where you could camp. Streams near there, about 1KM away.
Mirador Cordon Baquedano at KM20, a 3 sided hut but the open side faces the wind so not suitable for sleeping. About 1KM before Rio Serrano bridge is a small tin hut but I did not go into it. Stream near the hut. Poor hut at the junction with coast road. 11KM past the turn into Estancia Maria Soledad is a poor hut open to the wind, you could sleep on the upper part if you can get up, no ladder. Gravel quarry next to the hut has a workers hut, probably locked. You might be able to camp behind the hut. Good hut 1.9KM past Pinguino Rey and good hut at junction 2KM before Cameron but best to camp at Los Pioneros in Cameron.
