'''2025-Dec-8 to 2025-Dec-11 / 4 days / Hiking / SOBO / Opt2, D, RR, E, 3 / Emily & Kole'''
Beautiful route through forest and glacial valleys. More crowded with hikers but trails and campsites weren’t overrun. Trail well maintained, easy walking. We took 3N/4D to maximise a good weather window, but RR plus Variant 2 (Los Horquetas trail) could easily be condensed to 1N/2D. Attractiveness ??4/5, difficulty ??2/5 (w/ V2Opt2).
Day 1
* Spoke with ranger at -45.97772, -71.96298 who gave an overview of the hike. You can buy your park pass online or pay upon departure.
* Trail is very easy walking. A couple of fords, though all below the knee (165cm) and not strong.
* Camped at Rio Turbio (-46.00849, -72.10397). Perhaps 10 other hikers there but a large campground, plenty of space. Well sheltered, picnic tables. * Mice everywhere (no hyperbole), very brazen. ! We hung our food.
Day 2
Day 4
* Had to sign a declaration/emergency contact form upon leaving park at rangers station. * Paid 35.000CLP pp for 3+ days in park. It’s the (honour system though …).
* Stayed at Turismo Al Galope, 10.000clp for camping. Nice indoor space with wifi, but BYO toilet paper, soap, and gas for cooking.
