If there is no boat available in Caleta Gonzalo hikers best wait for the second ferry that arrives 2:30 h later. On the second ferry is the bus to Chaiten. From Chaiten hikers can walk section GPT76 northbound. Once in Loyola hikers will find more people with boats in this larger settlement so it is generally easier to arrange a boat transfer from Loyola to Caleta Gonzalo than the other way around.
* 2021-Nov-30 to 2021-Dec-06 / 7 days / Packrafting from / Hornopiren to Caleta Gonzalo, NoBo and SoBo (Leptepu-Termas de Porcelana-Cahuelmo-Laguna Abascal-Vodudahue) / Meylin Elisabeth Ubilla González and Jan Dudeck
The often strong wind in these fjords makes packrafting challenging and more risky if attempted with an open packraft without spraydeck. Therefore a decked packraft is the recommended gear.
* 2021-Dec-03 to 2021-Dec-06 / 3 days / Packrafting from / Hornopirén to Chaitén, SoBo (GPT77 and GPT76 Option 3) / Tobías Schorcht
Did the stretch from Hornopirén to Caleta Gonzalo in a open Packraft in 3 days. The most challenging Parts are the Canal Comau and the Fjordo Largo. Watch carefully the tides and wind and stay close to the shore, since the weather can change quickly.
