* <span style="background-color:aqua;">'''2025-01-29 to 2025-02-01 / 4 days / Packrafting / SOBO / RP+plataforma / Thijmen Scholten'''</span>
Bought a macheti in El Bolson . Protected it with piece of cut open rubbertube. It had an edge so I thought it was sharp. But it wasn't so eventually it was useless.
* Entered lago Puelo at 15.00 was lucky it was not a windy day.
* Camp places next to Lago puelo are good for camping but at the end of lago Puelo is bigger camp place.
* For the clime to la plataforma. At the last settlement (not on map) you have a river. Then 1 hour after that settlement is your last water source before the big climb untill 30min before the Laguna.
* Laguna or just before Laguna is good camping
* You can leave your backpack and climb toPlataforma it's beautifull. Loads of fossils to be found close to the lake.
* I met Thomas and Nathalie and we travel together.
* Going down after plataforma was a bit Bushbashing. It's doable without macheti but its nice if you help maintain the trail and bring a macheti. You will definitely loose the trail a couple of times but pay attention to the macheti cuts ! And you find it again.
* Getting the last bit to the river you have to walk trough a field full of the little spiky Plants. You can go in a little bit later and you will find a 4x4 track to follow almost towards the river. But the get in place at the river is not so nice there.
* At the end of the river Tigre there is one part that is full of wood whole river wide. Better to walk your boat past it. + 2end turn left has some wood in the current you can skip taking the inner side.
* After 15.00 the wind picked up in lago Cholila so it went quite fast.
* The river is ok to paddle no rapids. We took shelter from rain ad used wifi and ate at an restaurant in villa lago rivadevia.
* In Rivadevia there are 3 small shops and in at least 1 you can pay with card. They have the basics oatmeal, polenta, bread , dinners , and some fruits and vegetables.
* Don't eat at Ruta Kitai if you look like a hobo like me. It's a bit too fancy And they will not let you leave things charging or leave your backpack.
