The trailmarker design copies
the French marker system for
trekkers, which has been a pioneer
in its field and recognized
worldwide for its efficiency and
simplicity. Four classes of
trailmarkers were adopted from this
system:<br>
Likewise, the French system has
been complemented by a series of
numbers inscribed along with some of
the painted markers throughout the trail.
In this sense, out of a total of 395
markers, 38 (known as GUIDEPOST,
abbreviated form of Numerical System
for Points of Special Interest) have been
singled out.<br>
GUIDEPOSTs are Arabic numbers
that periodically accompany the
regular route and direction markers;
each has its own meaning, which is
explained in the topoguide. Chapter
Two provides an orderly listing of
the GUIDEPOSTs according to the
5 trail segments that describe in both
written and photographic form,
among other aspects, the heading
to follow, trip duration, camping
spots, dangerous locations,
geographical names (toponymy),
and the trail's general features.<br>
'''Trailmarking direction:''' Trailmarking is unidirectional,
with the starting point in the vicinity
of the waterfall ([[Hitos_Dientes_de_Navarino#Hito_1|GUIDEPOST nº1]]),
and the end near Virginia Bay, by
the MacLean fish company
([[Hitos_Dientes_de_Navarino#Hito_38|GUIDEPOST nº38]]). It is possible
to travel the route backwards,
following the topoguide's
description and pictures from end
to beginning, but be warned, in
doing so, you will find yourself
faced with two very steep slopes
that are easier to go down than up.<br>
'''Earlier markers''': In the forest near the waterfall
(segment 1 of the trail), you will
find old markings on the trees. The
markings are so unaesthetic,
anarchic, and erratic that they end
up confusing the hiker. So, an
absolute minimum number of
markers were placed in order to not
continue overloading the forest with
signs. If you have any trouble
following our markers, turn to the
topoguide for indications and to the
layout of the path on the ground.<br>
==Route description==
Puerto Williams. Leave town by the
road heading west. After about 1
the beginning of the trail at the end of
the road, next to a waterfall and the
dam.<br>
Take the path that goes toward the
woods indicated by [[Hitos_Dientes_de_Navarino#Hito_1|GUIDEPOST N°1]]; it runs parallel to the river course,
above the bank. Don't take the path
that follows the river, nor the one that
goes east. Hike through the forest for
10 minutes, then the path abruptly turns
east ([[Hitos_Dientes_de_Navarino#Hito_2|GUIDEPOST N° 2]]), and goes
toward the side of the hill. Follow it,
always heading towards the steep
slope. After leaving the forest
([[Hitos_Dientes_de_Navarino#Hito_3|GUIDEPOST N° 3]]), stay on the path,
keeping the stakes in sight, until
reaching the low peak of Cerro
Bandera (stone landmark and
[[Hitos_Dientes_de_Navarino#Hito_4|GUIDEPOST N° 4]]). Be careful not
to step on the low, dense, and hard
green plant formations.<br>
Head 230° and follow the stakes. After
a 10-minute walk from the low peak,
on the right (west) you will find the
high peak of Cerro Bandera
([[Hitos_Dientes_de_Navarino#Hito_5|GUIDEPOST N° 5]]). Withoutclimbing towards [[Hitos_Dientes_de_Navarino#Hito_5|GUIDEPOST N°5]],
go 180° and follow the stone
landmarks, passing the next hill on the
arrows drawn on the landmarks.
Farther ahead you will find
[[Hitos_Dientes_de_Navarino#Hito_6|GUIDEPOST N° 6]], that marks a small
river crossing, from where you should
bear 230° following the stone
project an imaginary route that is closer
to the tree line than to the ridgeline
([[Hitos_Dientes_de_Navarino#Hito_7|GUIDEPOST N° 7 and 8]]).<br>
The foothills route will take you above
Laguna del Salto ([[Hitos_Dientes_de_Navarino#Hito_9|GUIDEPOST N° 9]]).
There you should turn right, and climb
down a steep slope toward the lagoon.
Carefully descend in the direction of a
large dark rock, on top of which you will
find [[Hitos_Dientes_de_Navarino#Hito_10|GUIDEPOST N° 10]], located about
40 meters away from the Laguna del
Salto shore. End of first segment.<br> ===LAGUNA DEL SALTO - LAGUNA ESCONDIDASegment 2==='''Laguna del Salto - Laguna Escondida'''[[Imagen:Desnivel DDN 2.jpg|thumb|left]][[Imagen:DDN dia 2.jpg|thumb|right]]
Circle Laguna del Salto on the
left (east). To the south of the lagoon,
rocks under the water. Climb before
the knoll, immediately to the left of
this ([[Hitos_Dientes_de_Navarino#Hito_11|GUIDEPOST N° 11]]), following
the creek closest to the rocky
promontory that runs by a steep-sided
gulch.<br>
Continue for the length of the
gulch until crossing the knoll's peak.
natural course of a small winding
valley that extends up to a wide plain
([[Hitos_Dientes_de_Navarino#Hito_12|GUIDEPOST N° 12]]). After crossing
the river, climb to the right over a large
hill covered with grass and peat moss
Follow the crest of the hill until arriving
at a small, rocky pass - "Paso Primero"
- from which you descend to a creek.<br>
After Paso Primero, follow the
course of the creek until reaching the
entrance of the high valley
([[Hitos_Dientes_de_Navarino#Hito_13|GUIDEPOST N° 13]]), where it is
common to find snow, even in the
summer. Follow the valley to the left
(east), bearing 140°, until reaching
Paso Australia ([[Hitos_Dientes_de_Navarino#Hito_14|GUIDEPOST N° 14]])
marked by an important landmark of
stones.<br>
Go to the right of the lagoon
lying at the foot of Paso Australia
slabs of snow. Project an imaginary
bearing while always keeping the
markers in sight.<br>
Thus, you get to Paso de los
Dientes that looks to the south
([[Hitos_Dientes_de_Navarino#Hito_15|GUIDEPOST N° 15]]) Go down to
the valley that opens up on the other
side of the pass, going to the left of
the lagoons. On the south shore of
the third lagoon you will find
[[Hitos_Dientes_de_Navarino#Hito_16|GUIDEPOST N° 16]]. Turn to the right,
bearing 240°, continue toward
Laguna de los Dientes. On the east
shore you will find [[Hitos_Dientes_de_Navarino#Hito_17|GUIDEPOST N°17]]. Circle it to the north until reachingits west shore ([[Hitos_Dientes_de_Navarino#Hito_18|GUIDEPOST N° 18]]),
up to the point where a valley opens
up to the right. Follow it, bearing
290°, until arriving at Laguna
Escondida where you will find
[[Hitos_Dientes_de_Navarino#Hito_19|GUIDEPOST N° 19 ]] on the east shore.
End of segment. For campsites,
check the options offered by
[[Hitos_Dientes_de_Navarino#Hito_16|GUIDEPOSTs 16, 17, 19, and 20]].<br> ===LAGUNA ESCONDIDA - LAGUNA MARTILLOSegment 3==='''Laguna Escondida - Laguna Martillo'''[[Imagen:Desnivel DDN 3.jpg|thumb|left]][[Imagen:DDN dia 3a.jpg|thumb|right]][[Imagen:DDN dia 3b.jpg|thumb|right]]
Circle Laguna Escondida on the
left, bearing south, and follow the
river a short way. After a brief distance
([[Hitos_Dientes_de_Navarino#Hito_20|GUIDEPOST N° 20]]), enter the valley
that opens up to the right, bearing
210°. Paso Ventarrón is in view;
of the valley. On the left, at the foot
of Paso Ventarrón you will find
[[Hitos_Dientes_de_Navarino#Hito_20|GUIDEPOST N° 21]]. From that
location, you will be in front of a short,
abrupt slope that leads to the pass.
Once in the pass ([[Hitos_Dientes_de_Navarino#Hito_22|GUIDEPOST N°22]]), do not go down the other side or
toward the foothill, continue climbing
to the right (bearing west), for
down to the valley. Go down the
right side of the valley to the foot
of Paso Guerrico ([[Hitos_Dientes_de_Navarino#Hito_23|GUIDEPOSTN° 23]]).<br>
Climb up a short, steep
hillside, bearing 230°, go through
growing among large rocks, until
reaching Paso Guerrico
([[Hitos_Dientes_de_Navarino#Hito_24|GUIDEPOST N° 24]]). Circle
Laguna Hermosa to the left until
finding the outlet ([[Hitos_Dientes_de_Navarino#Hito_24|GUIDEPOSTN° 25]]). Travel north, zigzagging
among the shrub forest, until
reaching Laguna Martillo. On the
south end, near the shore and on
the edge of a small beaver dam
([[Hitos_Dientes_de_Navarino#Hito_26|GUIDEPOST N° 26]]), you willfind campsites. End of segment.<br> ===LAGUNA MARTILLO - LAGUNA LOS GUANACOSSegment 4==='''Laguna Martillo - Laguna los Guanacos'''[[Imagen:Desnivel DDN 4.jpg|thumb|left]][[Imagen:DDN dia 4.jpg|thumb|right]]
Starting from the southeast shore
of Laguna Martillo ([[Hitos_Dientes_de_Navarino#Hito_26|GUIDEPOST N°26]]), circle it on the right until reaching
the peninsula that separates the main
body of the lagoon from its northwest
end. From there climb to the right
([[Hitos_Dientes_de_Navarino#Hito_27|GUIDEPOST N° 27]]) to cut over this
peninsula toward the north. Once back
at the Laguna Martillo shore
([[Hitos_Dientes_de_Navarino#Hito_28|GUIDEPOST N° 28]]), follow it
WITHOUT ASCENDING to the right,
until reaching the outlet. From there
([[Hitos_Dientes_de_Navarino#Hito_29|GUIDEPOST N° 29]]), bear 330°,
toward a white rock that stands out in
the distance on the peak of a hill.<br>
After reaching this rock
([[Hitos_Dientes_de_Navarino#Hito_30|GUIDEPOST N° 30]]), continue the
same bearing (330°), and then go
around the right shore of the narrow
Laguna Rocallosa. Next to the water
you will find an accumulation of large
rocks over which you will have to cross.<br>
In maintaining this direction, you
will reach a large white rock
([[Hitos_Dientes_de_Navarino#Hito_31|GUIDEPOST N° 31]]) on the other side
of Laguna Rocallosa. From this location,
you will be able to see Paso Virginia to
of the forest, and finally the base of the
pass that stands out due to a depression
in the ridgeline.<br>
To reach the first forest clearing
from [[Hitos_Dientes_de_Navarino#Hito_31|GUIDEPOST N° 31]], keep walking,
going to the right of the next lagoon,
until reaching a rock hill ([[Hitos_Dientes_de_Navarino#Hito_32|GUIDEPOSTN° 32]]). Turn to the right i a small
clearing inside the woods and climb in
a straight line until reaching the small
it, veering to the left, this way you
should reach a creek located in the lower
part of Paso Virginia ([[Hitos_Dientes_de_Navarino#Hito_33|GUIDEPOST Nº33]]). From here bear 30°, passing by the
right of the creek, then continue upward
among the small lagoons that are
sometimes formed, until arriving at the
pass ([[Hitos_Dientes_de_Navarino#Hito_34|GUIDEPOST N° 34]]).<br>
CAREFUL! If you go beyond the
stone pyramid, that [[Hitos_Dientes_de_Navarino#Hito_34|GUIDEPOST Nº34 ]] indicates, to admire the beautiful
view of Laguna del Guanaco and the
Beagle Channel, you should consider
in the whole area; they can knock
you off your feet and drag you
downhill.<br> From [[Hitos_Dientes_de_Navarino#Hito_34|GUIDEPOST Nº 34]], turn
to the right and continue a short
distance to go around the ledge, then
near Laguna Los Guanacos. Follow
the Guanaco path on the west shore
up to the outlet ([[Hitos_Dientes_de_Navarino#Hito_35|GUIDEPOST N° 35]]).
From the Los Guanacos lagoon outlet
to the left of the river, at the start
the course of a creek until arriving at
Laguna de Las Guanacas
([[Hitos_Dientes_de_Navarino#Hito_36|GUIDEPOST N° 36]]). End of
segment, for a camp spot check the
options on [[Hitos_Dientes_de_Navarino#Hito_35|GUIDEPOSTs 35 and 36]].<br> ===LAGUNA LOS GUANACOS - PUERTO WILLIAMSSegment 5==='''Laguna los Guanacos - Puerto Williams'''[[Imagen:Desnivel DDN 5.jpg|thumb|left|Perfil de altura quinto tramo]] From [[Hitos_Dientes_de_Navarino#Hito_36|GUIDEPOST Nº 36 ]] go
around Laguna Las Guanacas on the
right; slightly before reaching the
foothill on the right of the valley,
going down toward the end of it
([[Hitos_Dientes_de_Navarino#Hito_37|GUIDEPOST N° 37]]).<br>
Farther ahead, you should go
around several beaver ponds and cross
marker has been placed on it
indicating the end of the markers and
the heading to follow ([[Hitos_Dientes_de_Navarino#Hito_38|GUIDEPOSTN° 38]]). From there on, zigzag down
through the Calafate underbrush
looking for the coast and the visible
kilometers, in about two hours you
will reach the city of Puerto Williams.
