Season 2021/22

• 2022-Jan-16 to 2022-Jan-18 / 2,5 days / Packrafting / SoBo / GPT 73P Lago Yelcho / Tobias Schorcht

While crossing Lago Yelcho I had to think about Jan's words, who characterized the lake as a "Beast", many times! The direction of the wind changed within seconds and forecasts were wrong many times. Got stuck on the peninsula right in the middle of the Lake (emergency Camp) for 1 day. For 1 small freestanding tent the camp is fine, if you have a bigger tent, the night will be uncomfortable. The 2 other camps are just amazing!! I also recommend to visit the 30m waterfall (not on the route) -43,26788, -72,28440.
