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

Summary with remarks to route that are considered useful for other hikers and packrafters. Include alerts, suggestions and personal perception of attractiveness and difficulties.


Add a sub-chapter by placing two "=" before and after the new sub-chapter heading ('==Sub-Chapter Heading==').

  • Frank 2 days 2 and 3-12-2023 Y85 to Russfin then RR SOBO

The Bellavista frontier is now open so you can connect directly from GPT62 to GPT68.

1. I came from GPT61, from Camping Pioneros in Cameron I returned to the crossroads and walked 38KM south on Y85 to Parador Russfin. As you near Russfin the settlement the pampa is broken by woodland which should provide places to camp. Before Russfin settlement, which is 2.8KM before Russfin Parador, there is a meadow and a stream on LHS of road and woods on RHS. Russfin Parador, which is 1KM back from the road, is currently closed.

2. I continued 50KM South to Pampa Guanaco in one long day. Walking on gravel for several days is hard on the feet, I walked on grass by the roadside where possible. At first the woods are well back from the road, after 16KM they are by the roadside and provide camping opportunities. No water except for a beaver dam on LHS of road after about 20KM and at Rio Grande. After 27KM you reach Rio Grande. Estancia Cameron there caters to fishing groups, did not go in but I believe it is very expensive. At Rio Grande the bridge on the RR is gone, continue on the main road to cross the new bridge.

I stayed one night at Camping Municipal Pampa Guanaco and caught the twice weekly bus next morning - see revised bus schedule. It arrived in Porvenir in time for me to get the 2PM ferry back to Punta Arenas.


  • From 2023-11-08 to 2023-11-10 // 3 days // Hiking // NOBO // RR // Quentin Clavel

Following the Ruta Y-85, with mainly long straight line on gravel roads. All in the pampa, that can be boring sometimes, because the landscapes are not very varied and because there's plenty of headwind. Fortunately the guanacos were here to keep me company. One stop possible to eat and sleep in Russfin (see paragraph below), and resupply is only possible in Cameron, take advantages of it.

Parador russfin, in russfin. It was full when I arrived. So better to call them before if you want to stay. Here is the number : +56 9 9723 7707 You can contact them there too : info@paradorrussfin.cl

Not sure about the information, but rooms seems to be at 35,000 pesos per one night.

They purpose me a dinner for 11$ serve at 7pm with the workers (it's in a middle of a big logging station). It was early and I wanted to go on, si can't tell you if it worth it.

Here is the GPS location : S 53°45.430', W 69°11.381'

But you can find it easily on the website of the municipalidad of porvenir. Tap on Google " horario buses Cameron porvenir.


Frank 2-12-2023. The above info. is correct but from about 25 November there is an additional bus on Monday at 6AM Porvenir-Pampa Guanaco returning from Pampa Guanaco Carabineros at 9:50AM. I believe the Monday bus returns at 9:50AM also.

DAP fly Punta Arenas-Pampa Guanaco on Friday and Sunday at 6PM, returning on the same days at 7PM. Not sure if you can take gas canisters on the flight. The flights are very cheap if they give you the government subsidised price.
