==Season 2024/25==
*'''2025-APR-13 to 2025-APR-15 / 2,5 days / Hiking / SOBO / RR / Ivan, Jakub, Daniel'''
Less traveled, more of a connecting section. The first part was basically completely dry during our time there.
The 14 km section, starting at km 27.1, is actually a MR, not a CC. To connect to this section, you'll need to climb over a locked gate.
Challenges:
*Lack of water (see Water section)
*We were struck by the low nighttime temperature on the first night near Seno Otway (in the morning we measured -8°C)
Bivouacking:
*In Villa Ponsomby, we camped in the waiting room for the ferry.
*Near Ruta Y-50, at coordinates -52.7432939, -71.3522154, there's a small hut with a mattress.
*Another emergency shelter is about at km 28.5, at coordinates -52.8082782, -71.1813610.
*Along the CC section by Seno Otway, there was no wind and finding a place for tents wasn’t a problem.
*A good tent spot by a stream is approximately at km 69.1, at coordinates -53.0550766, -71.0375933.
Water:
In Villa Ponsomby, we collected water from the public restrooms (-52.6504745, -71.4640635). In April, there was very little water in nature, and up to Settler Point {48} [62.2/87], we only encountered a few murky puddles. However, the Ruta Y-50 was fairly busy with cars, so it's definitely an option to try to stop a passing vehicle for water. We asked for water from a woman in the Ankel settlement (Settlement {48} [46.8+1.0/43]). In nature, we found drinkable water only at the following points:
-53.0560783, -71.0382283 (stream)
-53.0780834, -71.0032721 (pond)
-53.0830333, -71.0030701 (stream)
-53.1112842, -70.9483653 (stream)
Resupply:
*There is a small but decently stocked store inside Cafetería y emporio Río Verde in Villa Ponsomby. (A bit of an unusual schedule: Monday 10:00–20:00, Tuesday to Friday 9:00–20:00, Saturday 10:30–18:00, Sunday 13:00–18:00.)
*Punta Arenas is a large city, so there are plenty of resupply options.
