Just spent 4 days on 31P, starting in Puerto Aysen, ending at Lago Elizalde, including the option on Rio Paloma.
Day 1: from Pto. Cisnes by Bus to Pto. Aysen (Transportes Don Erwin, +569 97709652, reservation needed, weekdays? 7am), from there collectivo towards Pto. Chacabuco (opposite of Unimarc, 1k clp), getting off at the crossing to Lago Riesco, hithhiked and walked to the put in spot. Crossed the lake with moderate to strong tailwind. Take out spot is a popular weekend beach. Just walk across the road and put in Rio Blanco. The river is gentle, no problems. Next portage I deflated and walked to Lago Portales on RP, it's not really bushwhacking to get to put in. Camped there, about a hundred meters before the lake.
Day 2: crossed Lago Portales with no wind, very hot, no problems. Portage to Lago Zenteno is easy, just a little squeezing through bushes at put in. Did it with inflated packraft. Lago Zenteno crossing in no wind, very hot. Landed at popular weekend beach and had a drink or two with some locals, got a lift to Lago Atravesado in the evening, too late for crossing, had to camp at put in (also a weekend beach and boat launch for the locals).
Day 3: started early, crossed the lake with no wind, portage to Lago Elizalde is easy, did it with inflated packraft. Crossed the lake in no wind, very hot. Went to RP32, hitchhiked to Rio Paloma. Chose the same put in as N+T last year (that's where the rafting tours take out). Rio Paloma is fast and fun, waterlevel was mid-low I guess, no ground contact, many obstacles and small rapids. Took out before the confluence with deasague of Elizalde and camped between river and lake (open terrain)
Day 4: put in is through ~50 meters of swamp grass (not very dense, ground looks muddy, but is firm). Paddled with variable winds from moderate in the beginning to none in the middle section to gale force winds for the last 500 meters (meteored was quite accurate with timing of the wind). Hitchhiked to Coyhaique from take out (also popular weekend beach,very dirty)
