==Season 2023/24==
2024-Jan-12 to 2024-Jan-17 / 6 days / Hiking / SOBO / RR / Tanja
Easy hitch from El Medano to the RR trailhead in the morning. No right of way issues. There’s a big gate that was closed but 15 meters to the right the fence is broken. Even the guy that gave me a right knew that there was a trail. Further up where the trail turns at the first river crossing there’s a big landslide of rocks covering the road. Doesn’t look like any/many cars would come through here these days.
Crossed Rio Guaiquivilo on midday further upstream of where the gpx track suggests (-36.27219, -70.92341 is where I came out). River has two arms there and is pretty wide. I’m 1,65m, water up to mid thighs at deepest spot.
I had a first attempt where I felt water was flowing slowly and river had just one arm but way too deep for me. Choose your spot wisely, stay focused and be patient.
Did not meet any other hikers but had several really nice encounters including an asado in one of the puestos.
Heaps of water. Never carried more than a liter. Campsites everywhere.
