*'''2025-JAN-31 to 2025-FEB-4 / 5 days / Hiking / SOBO / RR / Ivan, Jakub, Daniel, Martina'''
A beautiful and moderately challenging section that showcases a stunning Lago Palena and its surrounding area, featuring the meandering Río Turbio. The newly established trail around Cerro Plataforma can be somewhat difficult to recognize in places, but overall, it’s very pleasant.
Challenges: The main challenge in this section is navigation on the overgrown trail. After the fire in 2015, the vegetation in the section from [8.5/730] to [14.1/205] has been rapidly recovering, making the trail less visible in the landscape. We got lost several times. The same applies to the section from [50.6/1325] to [59.8/738]. Expect to proceed at a slower pace in these areas.
Bivouacing: There are plenty of beautiful spots to camp along the entire route. We particularly recommend a location by the Lake, Port {23} [16.6/196]. It offers a lovely view of the lake, a flat area, and a table with benches. We even met a ranger from the national park there, who was very nice and only interested in our journey and hiking gear. He also emphasized the strict prohibition of campfires. Another nice camping spot with views and by a stream is located at -42.30499, -71.76827 (marked as a camp icon on OSM maps). For a fee of 10,000 ARS, you can also camp at Camp $ {23-09} [0.5/543], where there’s also the option to purchase some basic food and drinks.
Water: No problem; the trail frequently crosses streams or rivers.
Resupply:
1) In Lago Puelo, there is a very good supermarket called Todo, where you can stock up well and pay by card.
2) Camp $ {23-09} [0.5/543] (more info above).
3) Villa Lago Rivadavia has a small shop {23} [107.4/541] with all the essentials. However, you cannot pay by card there.
