→Season 2025/26
Just got back from eight more and less rainy days in Valle Picacho. The duration was planned and not forced by nature.
Day 1: took the 5:30 am bus (bookable on cuposkupos.cl and in the terr austral office in Puerto cisnes, 7k cpl, book to maninguales ) to "cruze Picaflor" and hiked to the put in via option 04 (no one there for puente de piedra entrance, I just walked by). Rain and strong wind made a river journey seem unpleasant, so I camped near the put in.
Day 2: a lot of rain in the night made the river rise significantly, I guess 20-40cm more than usual. Therefore no ground contact, many obstacles in main current. The last rapid I portaged. Camped about 5 km before lake as rain was imminent and fished my Christmas dinner ; )
