1. I got the bus to San Juan. Last stop is @ Rio Santa Maria (the stop is marked on OSM) Not much traffic @ 9AM so I walked 8KM to the roadhead. On the road there is a house with some boats. A big dog came out & started attacking me but 4 people came along & when in a group he retreated. Easy walking to the hut. Saw a whale, some penguins & dolphins near the lighthouse. The first river is v. easy, I was able to jump it. 2nd & 3rd river crossings were both easy & knee deep within 90 minutes of low tide. There are sticks marking the crossings. Cross about half way between the sticks & the sea. The 3rd crossing is a little shallower than 2nd but can be harder as it flows faster. Approaching the third crossing there are two small basic sheds on the beach, good for a break but not sleeping. 300M after the sheds a route going into the forest is marked. At low or mid tide it's easier to stay on the shore. There are some rocks but it's easier than navigating the maze of fallen trees. The forest route may be better @ high tide.
Camped after the 3rd crossing. The water @ 1st river is good. 2nd & 3rd river water needs to be filtered. It was still green after filtering but tasted OK.
