*'''2025-FEB-13 to 2025-FEB-16 / 3,5 days / Hiking / SOBO / RR+OH (var. D, E) / Ivan, Jakub, Daniel, Martina'''
A beautifully wild and forested section, full of fallen tree crossings but also offering some stunning viewpoints.
At coordinates (-43.7153061, -71.8151759), the MR ended at a fence, beyond which bush bashing seemed likely. Instead, we followed a small path uphill to a road (end of variant A). As the steep ascent began, we stayed on the trail marked in OSM maps. The trail occasionally faded, but it wasn't that hard CC. Just below the pass, we found Chaura berries.
The descent toward Lago Palena includes some sections where we had to deal with some fallen trees. However, the real challenge comes in the stretch between Lake [43.2/948] (Puntilla Lopez) and Refuge ? [45.7/974], where fallen trees become a major obstacle. From this point, the number of fallen trees blocking the trail decreases significantly but remains enough to haunt your dreams at night. The houses near Refuge, Park Ranger [52.1/947] appear abandoned.
The river crossings near the lake at km [62-62.8] were passable with dry feet due to low water levels. From Camp [68/809], the trail becomes very muddy. A simple trail starts after the crossing at [75.6/375]. We followed the path until we reached variant D, which was a longer but nice detour. The crossing at [85/402] was also dry-foot passable. The trail leading from X [90.2/543] appeared overgrown, so we opted for variant E.
CHALLENGES:
Fallen trees blocking the trail
Muddy path sections
BIVOUACKING:
Before the pass ascent [37.1/1367], there are plenty of tent spots near the creek.
Several camping spots are available near the lake.
We spent the night at the lake’s inlet, just past the crossing [43.0/943].
The next night, we stayed at Camp [68/809], which offers multiple tent spots and a fire pit.
WATER:
Water is plentiful throughout the section.
RESUPPLY:
We arrived in Lago Verde in the evening. The only store open on Sunday until 21:00 was at coordinates (-44.2385274, -71.8502104), offering a decent selection of supplies. Another supermarket at (-44.2408180, -71.8494809) reportedly opens at 10:30 on weekdays.
