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.

Overview

• Comment by Jan Dudeck

GPT25P was traversed twice in recent years and is a difficult packrafting route. DON’T attempt to paddle to the south-eastern end of the lake but only cross the lake in one of the rare calm moments.

We arrived at the start of 25P around 15:00. There is a guesthouse (it has Starlink, password: Krugger2425), which was closed, and an empty park rangers station. We heard engines from tools cleaning a path and when we were about to finish packing, a group of workers appeared with some park rangers. Initially it seemed we could go on, but eventually they called their chief, who was apologetic but denied access to the hiking trail that starts 25P. We explained we did not have the intention to run the rapids, but he said the crossing is impossible without authorization. He said we could go to the trail but without our packrafts. He suspected we wanted to try to sneak in early in the morning, so we did not do that, half expecting him to wait for us. He also took pictures of our passports, though technically we were probably not required by law to show them to him. Apparently, nothing that is not explicitly authorized is allowed in this national park. Beside going NOBO, 25P can probably only be done by evading the rangers. That should normally not be too hard. Ideally wildcamp a few km from the park ranger station by the coast but not visible from water. Then rise early and set off at dawn and paddle past the ranger station to roughly here: -42.89518,l -71.72883 before the rapids of Rio Frey start (you most likely do not want to run it, this is class III to class IV river, it is unknown whether the rapids could be portaged). Get on the trail and continue on your way. You could possibly also try this by camping off-trail at a distance from the park rangers and sneaking-in walking, they had no dogs when we were there and dogs are generally not allowed in national parks, but then you for sure pass much closer to them.

Season 2017/18

• Route description by Kara Davis after Season 2017/18

GPT25P begins just after the Lago Krügger take-out and follows alongside Río Frey, a Class III/IV river, which flows into Embalse (Reservoir) Amutui Quimei. It is not recommended to packraft on the reservoir, except for the crossing because of frequent strong winds. As stated in the website below, it is illegal to camp on the shore of Embalse Amutui Quimei so plan accordingly. The Futaleufú Hydroelectric Complex, a dam at the mouth of the famous Río Futaleufú, is located on the southern end of Embalse Amutui Quimei.
