From 2024-01-06 to 2024-01-12 // 6,5 days // Hiking // NOBO // RR + OPT D // Quentin Clavel
After the small part in the forest, I followed the gravel road, which began to be nice from the Laguna la Clara. Some nice miradors along the roads, especially the last one, salto Rio Perez, which was pretty nice !
Then you begin the track los Pioneros. Pretty easy to follow, a bit muddy, but I thought it would be worse, the last sunny weeks made it dryer than expected.
Then it's a sequence of up and down, with amazing views, on Lago Christie then on Lago Alegre, surrounded by mountains.
Some easy bushbashing which is more like cross country at the end of Lago Alegre to arrive along the Rio bravo.
The you go along the Rio bravo until cross it. I took the option D, it's bushbashing but pretty easy to follow as there's a kind of path which was created to go around the small cliffs, and have to cross rio bravo only once.
On the section, at this time, I haven't got any problem at all to pass the rivers who were pretty low and with weak current.
Then I arrived in the mountains and that was just amazing ! Even with an uncertain weather and lots of clouds !
I had an amazing bivy in front of the impressive calluqueo glacier then it was the looong Gravel road to Cochrane, but really scenic !
During all the section is easy to find water as there's water everywhere ! Some nice camp spot too.
Mosquitoes and these spiky plants who stay scratched to your shoes and socks are the only annoying stuff.
Plenty of crowberry and Calafate on the track. Perfect snacks on the road !
Last but not least, if you've always dreamed to try hurdles in athletism, this section is for you ! You'll have to pass threw hundreds of fallen trees ! Enjoy !
