Season 2022/23

• 2023-04-12 to 2023-04-16 / 5 days / Hiking / Circuit SOBO & NOBO / RR from km 19.7 there and back / Jakub & Veronika

We hiked this beautiful and remote trail from and to the parking lot. The trail is hard, especially in the humid weather (the stones on the beaches are more slippery further you get), but there are no problems with the orientation on the trail, you just need to follow the track files when you're not sure, where to next. Usually you can choose between walking on the beach (low tide) and forest path closer or further from the shore (hight tide). We recommend to take the further one at least ones so you see the endless peatbogs with miniatures of Chilean cyprus trees (here the late season and morning frost helps with harder surface) and deep Andean primary forrest. The thing that complicates all is tide. You NEED to have tide charts with you (see below). Sleeping is easy, puesto serves for the first night just fine with still usable stove and benches to sleep on (if anybody could provide an ax, please do it, it would be a great help to others 😉 and camsites are on both sides of all rivers and even in the middle of them. Last but not least, we have one personal wish, when you walk this hike, have spare plastic bags to collect some rubbish. The first puesto and all the campsites suffer from tourist and fishermen waste. We tried our best, but there is much more to do.
