* 2024After previously meeting in Santiago and hiking/packrafting separately (Michel/Lisa: 16-Jan17-18-22, Antoine: 19 / 2 days / Packrafting / SOBO / RP / Lauren & Sebastian & Daniel-20-21), we met in El Bolsón again and joined for 24P-70-27P-28P). A wonderful trip in overall great conditions.
Day 1
We started in increased team size as we joined forces with GPT Packrafter Daniel on this leg. Leaving camp Abuelo Daniel Took the bus from El Bolsón to Cholila that leaves at 67:45am we hoped to ensure smooth passage on Lago Rivadavia and Lago Verde. Note that if you leave too late, there will be strong headwinds on both lakes starting typically 00 from early afternoonthe main road, as the general rule is that winds are traveling across from the Chilean cost inland starting around noonBanco Patagonia.We managed to cross Lago Rivadavia without problemsHere: [-41.96305, but had some headwinds already on Lago Verde-71. We pushed through this short lake and floated down Rio Arrayanes53529]. By There's another one at 16:00. It took 2 h 30 min. At the time we reached Lago Futalaufquen, tourist office which is in the wind was strong. As building where the direction of bus arrived they helped us find a taxi (Daniel, phone: 2945400456, we paid 20'000 ARS) which brought us to the valley points inland spot where we now had could put in nicely ([-42.50510, -71.52348] - it's also a good tailwind and set our sails. We camped further down camp spot with some tables so one could also spend the lake just before turning eastwards around night here if taking the first corner16:00 bus from El Bolsón). I won’t specify the spot, as we camped wild and were visited by rangers coming We paddled/floated down from the road at around 9pm18. They were very clear that wild camping is not allowed in Argentinian National Parks and we had to excuse our ignorance 6 km on this matter, even tough Río Carrileufu until we camped only 5 meters away from the official free camper van camp spotreached Camp {24P} [7. Camping is ONLY allowed 4/526] at the official campsites in Argentinian NPs. I guess as it was so late and mouth of the next camp site quite a ways awayriver, they made an exception and only which took photos of our passports for registration purposesus 3 h 40 min. I want to strongly discourage anyone from doing The wind was blowing strong over Lago Rivadavia, directly against us. We asked the same as owners if we didcould stay and they said it was 5000 ARS per person. They were very strict There are toilets and even though they may have made an exceptionmany nice, I’m sure that they will not do flat camp spots. The beach at the same next time! Be more responsible than we werelake is also pretty, although windy.
Day 2
We expected to have a calm morning, but winds were not in our favor. We waited until around 11am for the head winds to slow down and then set off paddling towards Villa Futalaufquen. After turning onto the southwards stretch, winds slowly started to shift and we got some tailwind. We set the sails on both boats and continued along the western shore southwards, only to be stopped half way down by officials, which told us that we cannot paddle on the western side of the lake. They mentioned that the beach at the southwestern end of the lake is used as a private landing point for motor boats, and we should stay away from it. They asked us to cross the lake to the eastern side. We continued to sail, now in southeast direction, and landed at about the middle of the lake and concluded a great GPT section.
OverallWoke up at 5: A 00 with hopes of crossing Lago Rivadavia. However, the InReach forecast had lied and the wind was still in our faces and too strong. We could've maybe attempted a crossing staying to the very eastern shore where it seemed a bit sheltered, but decided against it. We hitchhiked and walked (mostly, little traffic) on the road to the park entrance ([-42.60970, -71.64629]) where we paid entry fees and hitchhiked on to the camping on the end of the lake ([-42.66667, -71.67819]). Here, the water was calm and absolutely paddle-friendly. We could've maybe tried to paddle from the park entrance since some people had mentioned that from the middle of the lake, the wind would be much less (west winds come through a valley at the middle of the lack and distribute towards the north and south from then). Well, you're always cleverer in hindsight.We paddled from the camping to the river where there are still all the signs and the rope telling you only to go there if you have a guide but we pretended they didn't exist and started down the absolutely beautiful Río Rivadavia (such clear water!). When we entered Lago Verde we faced some headwinds but continued on after a break at Camp $ (24H} [30.7+0.5/516]. With some effort we got to the end of the lake despite headwinds after only 20 min. Río Arrayanes was beautiful as well and we got to the northern arm of Lago Futalaufquen soon. There was some tailwind and we decided to continue on. We stopped at Cuma Hue Campsite ([-42.77662, -71.73451]) but didn't like it too much since the old campsite is abandoned and you have to carry your stuff up further now and there were no showers either since they were broken so we decided to save the 15'000 ARS per person and go to the free Playa el Frances (Camp {24H} [43.2/531]). We had some really strong gusts (70 km/h) and waves in our backs which made paddling a bit less fun yet very fast to get there and we arrived safely. There are some nice flat spots here and a beautiful, sheltered bay ([-42.79068, -71.72799]). There are warning signs of falling branches so we tried to stay away from the trees as best as possible since it was still very windy and gusty.  Day 3 We started paddling at 10 after watching a beautiful and very persistent rainbow across the lake for a while. The winds were okay at first, then increased with pretty strong gusts (~70 km/h) just before Lago Futalaufquen opens up towards east and west. With improvised sails on, our galions progressed very fast. We turned east at the bend to continue with GPT25H RP. the wind immediately died down and it was exceptionally calm paddling. (Continue reading in GPT25H article)  * <span style="background-color:aqua;">'''2025-12-07 to 2025-12-8 / 2 days / Packrafting / SOBO / RP / Daniel.s'''</span> Day 1:Coming from an early morning on Rio Carrileufu I continued straight away with crossing Lago Rivadavia. It was an exceptionally calm and hot day, no wind until I had finished the crossing at 14:00. Went on Rio Rivadavia (the sign and rope are still there, saying that it's forbidden to go without guide), passed 2 fly fishing boats, no complaints. The rapids are very easy, as is the rest of the river. Attention is still needed for trees in the water and sometimes the current is pushing you underneath the willow trees lining the river. Arriving at Lago Verde the wind had picked up a little. I camped at campground Lago Verde (15K ARS). Day 2: Another exceptionally calm day, very hot. Paddled across Lago Verde (no wind), Rio Arrayanes (no wind, no other difficulty) and Lago Futalaufquen (no wind until 14:30 and only a light breeze after that). Took the raft out at -42.885561, -071.604088 to start hitchhiking right away. Got a ride within a few minutes (dec. 8th was national holiday) all the way to river in for GPT 70 (alto rio futaleufu). ==Season 2024/25==* <span style="background-color:aqua;">'''2025-02-03 to 2025-02-04/ 2 days / Packrafting/ SOBO/ RP / Tomáš&Natalie&Thijmen'''</span> We all met at camp at km 7.4 - it is paid, 10000 ARG for three people, very basic, only cold water and toilets available. The next day we got up early, started after dawn at 7:00 and paddled through the lake Ridadavia in 4 hours. In the beginning and middle we had some tailwind and waves (30 cm max), then it got better. By 11, we were on the other side, where there is indeed a rope. We are not sure if the sign that you are not supposed to cross without a guide applies only to fishers. Probably not, but seeing two fisher boats cross without paying attention to us, we went for it. The river Calihuel is class I, the rapid waypoints are not demanding at all, it took us maybe two hours to get to Lago Verde, but the river flows. We paddled the lake in 30 minutes. The shop at 31.6 with an extremely limited offer is misplaced, it is at the bridge at the end of Lago Verde: -42.72669, -71.74049 in a building with functioning toilets (yay!). The bridge is overrun with people. Rio Arrayanes does not flow that much, expect to paddle. Having read the reports about vigilant guardaparques, we wanted to sleep in an official campsite. Probably we would have gotten away with wild-camping if we managed to hide in the vegetation though. We camped at camping Cuma Hue here: -42.77572, -71.73476, 15mil pp. It has 9 places for tents, but not all were taken. Showers have lukewarm water, and toilets function (well, you pay for it, though I would not be sure in Argentina). Coming from the water, nobody checks you or sees you, we think we would have gotten away without paying, it was quite a struggle to find a person to pay at the hospidaje uproad. 29 km paddled in a day. The next day we crossed waveless lake Futalaufquen to Lago Krugger. Only in the strait between the two lakes you get some stream helping you, as lago Krugger is not 2 m higher as OSM elevation data show. We were denied to go for 25P, see our entry there for details. Thijmen notes: * The camp site at lago Puelo was paid but cheap : 10.000 for 3 people. * The river had some nice little rapids. Just watch out for the wood in the water and above the water. Great beautiful float ! * We were with 3 so we camped at an official camping, which was expensive (15.000) and barely had facilities (no electricity, internet or hot showers). Because I read on the Wikiloc other people got caught by the guards. If you are on your one I would wildcamp and be very stealthy. Don't show your boat or tent in sight from the lake. * Lake futalaufquen and Lago Krugger are nice paddle. * We went trough Lago Kruger in order to do the 25P. However when we wanted to start on the trail to trail next to Rio Frey we passed the guards and they did not let us trough and we had to show our pasport. So we returned hiking via option 1 to via futalaufquen. * Option 1 is steep but very well maintained and easy trail. * So if you wanne do #25P you have to sneak past the park guards by putting your packraft to shore more at the beginning of Rio Frey and sneak in the trail from there. ==Season 2023/24== * <span style="background-color:aqua;">'''2024-Jan-19 / 2 days / Packrafting / SOBO / RP / Lauren, Sebastian & Daniel'''</span> Day 1: We met fellow GPT Packrafter Daniel and paddled together on this leg. Left camp Abuelo Daniel at 6:45am and it was smooth passage on Lago Rivadavia and Lago Verde. If you leave too late, head winds traveling from the Chilean coast inland start around noon. Rio Arrayanes was a relaxing float downstream. By the time we reached Lago Futalaufquen, we had good tailwind as the direction of the valley points inland so we set our sails. We camped just before turning eastwards around the first corner but were visited by rangers at around 9pm. They were very clear that wild camping is not allowed in Argentinian National Parks. As it was late and the next camp site quite a distance away, they only took photos of our passports. They were very strict and even though they may have made an exception- be more responsible than we were. Day 2: We waited until around 11am for the head winds to slow down and then set off paddling towards Villa Futalaufquen. After turning onto the southwards stretch, winds slowly started to shift and we got some tailwind. We set the sails on both boats and continued along the western shore, only to be stopped by officials, who told us that we cannot paddle on the western side of the lake as the beach at the southwestern end of the lake is used as a private landing point for motor boats. They asked us to cross the lake to the eastern side. Overall: An enjoyable and scenic chill section! Expect lot’s lots of tourist traffic on the lakes, but we still highly recommend it! Rivers were not difficultfor the seamless connection of pristine water bodies.  * <span style="background-color:aqua;">'''2023-Jan-11 to 2023-Jan-13 / 3 days / Packrafting / Villa Rivadavia - Villa Futalaufquen / Zach'''</span>When I arrived at Lago Rivadavia at 2 PM the wind was in full force. The next morning was calm as could be. It took 4.5 scenic hours to the south end where a rope across Rio Rivadalvia prevents motorized boats and a sign states you must be accompanied by a guide or register with park authorities. Perhaps this is why 2 fly fishing guides scolded me from the other side of the river for scaring away their fish. Paddle delicately and perhaps ask permission before passing. Nobody but fish after the first rapid. This river is stunning. The trail to the mirador on Lago Menéndez is a good opportunity to stretch the legs. There’s a cafe with snacks and 400 peso/30 minute WIFI on the East side of the pasarela (footbridge). Great wind ride on Lago Futalaufquen all the way to Villa Futalaufquen. Some nice sheltered spots at the almost empty Camping Libre Las Rocas East of Villa Futalaufquen. From there to Palena on a weekend when busses don’t run it took 8 hours including groceries in Travelin and some walking. Don’t forget about the veggie police (aka aduana iguanas) at the border crossing.

Started at Villa Lago Rivadavia at 03:30 PM. Wind from south. A few trees other than that mid speed river - really nice. Camped here: Camp {24P} [7.4/526] - lots if locals great place. Due to the recommendation in the handbook started the next day early at 06:15 AM. Cross the lake until 10:00 AM. No wind lake was like a mirror. At the beginning of Rio Rivadavia there is a line across the river you can go under it on the left side.

I was a day ahead of Roman above, we actually met afterwards in Trevelin when I say his paddles in his backpack!
Overall, your biggest annoyance and risk are winds on the lakes. Luckily there are many options for bailing out and waiting or hitchhiking if wind gets crazy. Otherwise, I have nothing to add - stunning and somewhat easy section. This is a strict park with park rangers on boats watching - if you need to make camp outside camp zones - hide your boat/gear from sight behind first few rows of trees otherwise they will tell you to move on.

I hiked section 24H, but want to pass on to packrafters that park rangers confirmed that the trail from Lago Krügger to Villa Futalaufquen is open for its entire length, not just from Playa Blanca. There is no longer a ferry service from Punta Mattos to Lago Krugger so hikers can not cross the lake and hike this trail to Villa Futalaufquen. There is a daily ferry service from Puerto Limonao (3km north of VF) to Lago Krugger at noon, and returns at 19:00. There is a Refugio at Lago Krugger.

GPT24P begins on the Río Carrileufu at the take-out for GPT23P. This is a very enjoyable, calm float all the way to Lago Rivadavia.
At this point, there is a choice whether to continue south towards Lago Krügger and GPT25P or east towards Villa Futalaufquen and GPT25H. SEE “GPT25P: Lago Amutui Quimei” BEFORE CHOOSING TO GO TOWARD THIS ROUTE!
