'''2025-11-21 to 2025-11-24 / 4 days / Hiking / NOBO / RR69 + OH69-A / Pierrick GUICHARD""
General Information :
It is possible to do this section with only 0.5L of water as water sources are abundant.
Replenishment is possible at Puerto Almanza.
There are restaurants in Puerto Almanza.
Long stretch of road between Puerto Almanza and Haberton, hitchhiking is possible.
Day 1:
Ushuaia to Estancia Remolino - 35km
Start on foot from Ushuaia following Route 3 out of the city, though hitchhiking or bus is recommended as walking is less interesting. After Estancia Tunel, the trail becomes very muddy and vegetation dense, fragile clothing should be removed. For northbound hikers, do not follow the gorge trail to cross the first river; cross near the Beagle Channel shore for safety. Several small rivers to cross by ford after that. Possible to sleep in an abandoned house on the right with 3 iron bed frames but no mattresses. Several refuges and estancias for shelter along the way.
Day 2:
Estancia Remolino to Lucas Bridge trail start - 41km (26km of walking and about 15km of hitchhiking between Puerto Almanza and the Lucas Bridge trail start 54°51′56.01′′ S 67°21′08.06′′ W).
The trail is a continuous forest track with no difficulty. Hitchhiking recommended to avoid long, monotonous road walking.
Day 3:
Lucas Bridge trail start to 54°40′59.05′′ S 67°19′11.43′′ W - 30km
General advice:
- walk in rivers when possible to save energy and time versus bush bashing.
- A packraft can be very useful northbound from a specific point on the Río Valdez.
Cross the farm gate (left open for hikers), the official start of Lucas Bridge trail. Trail markings are sparse; rely on GPS. Many river crossings, bogs, fallen trees, dense vegetation with thorns. Expect wet and dirty feet; gaiters recommended. Fragile clothing may be damaged by dense thorny vegetation. River Varela ford at given coordinates can be dangerous due to current; take time and keep shoes for stability; trekking poles recommended. 3 or 4 official campsites with wooden shelters in poor condition encountered.
Day 4:
From 54°40′59.05′′ S 67°19′11.43′′ W to Tolhuin - 26km
Exit dense forest, several river fords, following GPS is important. Trail becomes a forest track, then meets Route 3; hitchhiking possible here.
In Tolhuin, rest at Kau Karskam hostel: 30,000 ARS/night with breakfast and towel. Supermarket "La Anonima" nearby for resupply.
