*'''Frank 28-11 to 1-12-2023 / RR / mostly SOBO / 4 days '''
1. I hitched on the high route 26KM from Porvenir and walked back. Wind was in my face but it was downhill. Very little transport on this route, about 5 vehicles a day. There are a few small gold mines at KM26 and I was lucky to get a lift with one of the miners.
4. I visited the penguins at 10AM then continued to Cameron. After 15KM there are 3 boulders, first one has a cross on it, you could camp behind them. No water. At the crossroads 2KM before Cameron is a good hut but its dirty and no water, much better to camp in Cameron. Los Pioneros campsite in Cameron is good, sheltered spots, hot water. 13,000 pesos a night, the reception is in the shop, put the money under the shop door if no one is there.
* '''From 2023-11-11 to 2023-11-14 // 4 days // Hiking // NOBO // RR // Quentin Clavel'''
Nice section along the bahía Inutil. Be sure to pass threw the gravel who's going to the Mirador Cordòn Baquedano. It's more quiet, natural, and the arrival to porvenir is nice, with some scenic views. Some shelters but unfortunately destroyed. Still better than nothing if there's a crazy wind !
The gravel road Y71 is the one in Tierra Del Fuego where there were most traffic (but it's still not a lot, remember that we're in TDF !). This road goes to the border San Sebastian. You'll se a lot of tourist bus going to pingouins Rey's natural parc. If you can, stop there, that was a pretty good moments for me. For be fascinated by these nice creatures, and to make socialisation with peoples.

Water filling possible in the natural reserve of pingüina Rey's, appart from that, take advantages of the not so frequent rivers around, or try to stop cars passing threw there.

Most of the route is open pampa and is too windy and exposed to camp. Once you are down from the high pampa there is virtually no water, water only available at the locations marked Bridge on the track file, near the first two estancias past the junction with high route, Rio Pantanos, Pinguino Rey and Cameron. No water at any of the huts.
11KM from Porvenir on the high route SOBO a small hut 100M off RR on RHS, mattress, sleeps one, not luxury. At about KM 13 small hills form a windbreak where you could camp. Streams near there, about 1KM away.
Mirador Cordon Baquedano at KM20, a 3 sided hut but the open side faces the wind so not suitable for sleeping. About 1KM before Rio Serrano bridge is a small tin hut but I did not go into it. Stream near the hut. Poor hut at the junction with coast road. 11KM past the turn into Estancia Maria Soledad is a poor hut open to the wind, you could sleep on the upper part if you can get up, no ladder. Gravel quarry next to the hut has a workers hut, probably locked. You might be able to camp behind the hut. Good hut 1.9KM past Pinguino Rey and good hut at junction 2KM before Cameron but best to camp at Los Pioneros in Cameron.
