Cambios

Border crossing was smooth—if no tourist bus is present, it’s quick.

The first challenge was crossing the Centinela River. It was murky but only slightly above knee height during our crossing.

Another challenge was managing water, which is unpredictable in the steppe. Some lakes are salty or dried up.

The first night we camped at -50.42271, -72.43058

The rest of the nights we camped in the steppe, where there are endless flat spots and the only trick is to time it well with water.

The first water after leaving El Calafate was a small stream at -50.44387, -72.41996

-51.25408, -72.22857 – Rio Don Guillermo had no water this time of year

In El Calafate, we stocked up at La Anónima. There are many other stores and outdoor shops with gas canisters.

In Puerto Natales we resupplied in Unimarc.
