How to a add new entry

You need to be logged in to save your edits (and on mobile view, you need to be logged in to start editing).

Add a new log entry always on top in the appropriate season sub-chapter and use format:

* '''Start Date to Finish Date (use Format YYYY-MMM-DD) / Duration in Days / Hiking or Packrafting / Travel Direction (SOBO for Southbound or NOBO Northbound) / Chosen Route and/or Option Name (RR for Regular Route) / Names or Alias'''

If you are packrafting, put the above info into HTML tags like this (if you follow a hiking route for part of the way, highlight only "packrafting", as above):

* <span style="background-color:aqua;">'''YYYY-MMM-DD / X days / Packrafting / SOBO / RP / Your name'''</span>.

Include remarks about your route useful for other hikers and packrafters, alerts, suggestions and personal perception of attractiveness and difficulties. Try to be specific. Do not be shy to fix obvious mistakes.

Amazing section. I really loved it. First because after few days of exploration without any tracks, in the absolute nature, that was so amazing to just have to follow the gravel road Y-85, without thinking of where I should pass. Just put a foot in front of the other. Easy as !

And because the landscapes where amazing. The lakes, the mountains and The two passes (between Lago Fagnano and Lago Deseado, then after Lago Deseado until the pampa) where some great moments, with plenty of snow. Stunning landscapes !

It's still very wild. Not a lot of people here. Be careful to have enough food. The water is not a problem, there's rivers and lakes everywhere around !

Resupply and Accommodation

Resupply and Accommodation along the Route

No official resupply along this route. But I've been helped with food at the Lodge Deseado, along the lake Deseado. Absolutely amazing people, very kind.

I stayed at the estancia Lago Fagnano too. Welcomed by Martin and Hernand, local legend, aged of 78, absolutely incredible man. We had such amazing conversations. There's a museum in the estancia explaining the history of the place...

I asked to put my tent. The told me I cans stay on a shelter they have next door. Very basic, without electricity and water, bit still better than in the tent with the actual snow. Hernand said it would cost me 10000$ or free if I help him with the woods. Of course I took the second option. Amazing moment for an amazing human.
