*09-12-24 to 12-12-24 / 3.5 day's / NOBO / RR / Robin & Manon
We hitch-hiked to cueva del Milodon, lots of cars going this way. From there it's a 3km gravel road to the crossing with the minor road that goes to Estancia Perales.The crossing is not well placed on the track files and is at S 51° 33.454', W 072° 40.111'. there is a sign "Estancia Perales - 20km". We passed several estancias on the way, always asking our way to Estancia Perales and noone seemed to care. We asked the gauchos and slept by the river next to the estancia.
RR is relatively easy to follow with the blue sticks. 25km of forest walking with some fallen trees seems long. Then once you're out of the forest it is very easy and scenic on the valley and down to Rio Serrano.
We camped above the treeline down to the Chacabuco glacier on a wind exposed but beautiful camp site. Then we camped on a incredible balcony on Paine range and campo de hielo at S 51° 17.886', W 072° 59.753'. no water and 200m of bush bashing but worth it.
No easy resupply at Rio Serrano. However all campings on Torres del Paine provide basic (junk food) resupply that can get you on the O and W trek. We relied only on that.
