Cambios

As rivers were running high & the route was officially closed I went around it on the road. 1 day Villa Futalaufquen-Trevelen then 2 hours to Aldea Escolar.

The Information centre at Villa Futalaufquen said the trail is closed, no one has hiked there in 2 years & there are a lot of fallen trees across the trail.

The southbound start of this section is now open and so there is no need to initially re-route along the road. The trail is overgrown in a number of places which slows progress. But the only tricky piece was a few kms around km14 where the trail disappeared several times under bushes or fallen bamboo for a little while. But it always reappeared exactly where the gps projected. There were lovely views in many places along the section, especially early on where the past fire damage allows you to see a ring of mountains in every direction.
