Clear and clean water supply sources are scarce in this first part. We recommend you to collect water in the river located 100 m before the houses of Puerto Navarino.<br>
Leaving Puerto Navarino behind, walk 40 minutes through thickets of Mata Negra and Calafates to a wide plain covered with grass. Liwaia is located on the shores of the rivulet, as well as MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 1,2 / Guidepost 1,2|GUIDEPOST 1]], 1,636 m from Puerto Navarino. A beautiful peninsula is detached in this sector over Beagle Channel.<br>
Liwaia is a beautiful and cozy place, but not fit for camping. The rivulet is dry in the summer and the terrain is not protected from winds. Leaving the peninsula, to the right, and longitudinally crossing the clear plain, follow to the second beach located to the west. Turn here and go up to the left and enter again to the thicket to follow the coast.<br>
It is common to find cow and pork cattle. Although they barely perceive human presence, you better not surprise them and make noise to announce your presence and give them time to run away. Females with offspring may be aggressive. In this extreme case, there is only one solution: running to the closest tree or rock.<br>
From MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 1,2 / Guidepost 1,2|GUIDEPOST 1]], keep going by the pastureland to the west until starting a soft decline to a beach. To the left (south), there is a stake indicating one of the many trails that get into the thicket sector. Follow the trail marked by animals and do not get away from the coast. 40 minutes later, you will fond the remains of an old fence made of trunks that ends in the sea. 60 metros before reaching the sea, you will find MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 1,2 / Guidepost 1,2|GUIDEPOST 2]], a stake attached to the fence that indicates the end of the thicket and the entry to the forest. From here, follow the stakes that mark a zigzag route until arriving to a high forest.<br>
The trail no longer borders the Beagle coast and changes the direction to follow Murray channel coast in a north-south axis. As it gets closer to Murray channel, you can see the highest forest of Cinnamon trees and Coigües. You can observe evident impact of wind in their growth.<br>
After MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 1,2/ Guidepost 1,2|GUIDEPOST 2]], keep going by the line of stakes that zigzags among small forests before getting into their luxuriant growth. From the vegetational point of view, this is a very attractive segment for its individuals of Notros, Lengas, Cinnamon trees, a shrub-like stratum of high development with representation of Calafates, Sarsaparillas, Michay and Species of Myrtle.<br>
Openings and forests go one after the other until a brief descent to a beach covered by pasturelands and shelly deposits, at the height of a tiny woody that protrudes to Murray channel. Follow the pastureland to the south and after a brief passage by the forest, to a place known as Puerto de Hambre: MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 3,4 / Guidepost 3,4|GUIDEPOST 3]]. This is a gorgeous place to camp, although water is scarce in the summer.<br>
Few meters away from the remains of a yard, there is a small water jet. Be patient to fill up a container. There is a lagoon 100 m inland, in a clear plain in the middle of the forest, but water is stagnant and turbid in the summer. Therefore, it has to be boiled before consumption. The closest and safest place to obtain water is Puerto Isorna, after a 50 minute walk.<br>
From MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 3,4 / Guidepost 3,4|GUIDEPOST 3]], go to a mark located in the other end of the small pastureland to get in the forest. After several ups and downs, alternating forests and beaches, even a stony sector where attention must be paid so as not to fall down, you will arrive to a huge plain of grass on the shores of the sea. This is Puerto Isorna. The start is MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 3,4 / Guidepost 3,4|GUIDEPOST 4]], a beautiful beach and a great place to camp, although it lacks of trees protecting from the rain. We recommend you to install the camp near the MILESTONE, on the brink of the forest, in the sector of the bonfire. The river that flows into the sea, to the south of the MILESTONE, will provide abundant water. To enjoy charms of Murray channel coast, when you walk by the surroundings, you will see spectacular views of the channel. A splendid mirador is located at one hour from Puerto Isorna in the following position of coordinates UTM 542962 E and 3908925 N.<br>
===Second segment===
[[Archivo:wulaia-d2c.jpg|thumb|150px|right]]
Description of the Section: After MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 3,4/ Guidepost 3,4|GUIDEPOST 4]], cross the entire extension of the pastureland and wade through the river near its outlet into the sea. When you find the lowest water depth (in case of high tide, surround the hill to the inland and cross the river in the forest). At the opposite shore, climb some meters straight before turning to the left (east), turning your back to the sea.<br>
After a short climbing, you will find a woody plain obstructed by the works made by the beavers. Turn to the left (north) and cross the river again in the opposite direction than in the previous crossing. After 60 m, turn to the right (east) and cross this semi- swampy plain always looking at the marks located in the opposite shore that indicate the arrival. Turn to the left (north) and follow the marks that indicate a new change of direction to the right (east), attacking the high gradient.<br>
The path is characterized by a steep gradient in a quite dense forest. Pay attention to the marks so as not to miss the path. In spite of the zigzag-shaped nature of this long climbing, general direction is to the east. You may get out sometimes to reach a peak and enjoy magnificent panoramic views of the Murray channel, Sampaio mounts, and part of the Beagle Channel.<br>
After two hours of an exhausting climbing, you will be happy to arrive to a forest free plain: here, you will find MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 5,6,7 / Guidepost 5,6,7|GUIDEPOST 5]], hanging from a tree, near a clearing, indicating proximity to a great camping site, in the shores of Represa lagoon.<br>
To get there, you have to climb by a small woody hill to the right (south), and from its opposite hillside, you will see an important beaver's dam indicating the end of Represa lagoon. The camping site is located at the entry of the forest, few meters to the right (south) of the dam. To get there, border the plain that is opened at the other side of the hill or walk by the dam (depending on river conditions) to the forest .A bonfire will confirm you that you have arrived to the camp.<br>
After MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 5,6,7 / Guidepost 5,6,7|GUIDEPOST 5]], the route still has a zigzag shape through a dense forest. Therefore, pay attention to the continuity of the intense marking characterizing the sector. You will finally arrive to the last segment of a long climbing and you will start going down to Laguna del Medio, that have to be surrounded by the right side (south), without getting close to the shore. Before reaching its south-east end, you will encounter MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 5,6,7 / Guidepost 5,6,7|GUIDEPOST 6]].<br>
This MILESTONE, painted on a tree, is located few meters from Laguna del Medio shore. It is the only place where the circuit reaches the bank of the lagoon and is also an alternative to camp, although the land is often wet.<br>
After MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 5,6,7 / Guidepost 5,6,7|GUIDEPOST 6]], keep going by the south hillside of the valley that goes down to Puerto Inútil. Pay attention so as not to miss the track. South-east direction before changing again the course to the east during the last 30 minutes of walk. After having walked for 2:30 hours, you will get to the shore of a river, 50 m away from its outlet into the sea. MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 5,6,7 / Guidepost 5,6,7|GUIDEPOST 7 ]] is on a highlighted tree, indicating arrival to the coast by a deep sea arm called Puerto Inútil. This is the only camping site in the sector. Do not cross the river in MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 5,6,7 / Guidepost 5,6,7|GUIDEPOST 7]], turn to the right, getting close to the beach, where you will quickly arrive to a sector covered with grass that contrasts to the forest. At the upper part of the pastureland, in the middle of shelly deposits, there are a number of sites where you can install your tent. There are small sites near the forest, but the land is usually saturated with water.<br>
===Third segment===
[[Archivo:wulaia-d3a.jpg|thumb|300px|right]]
After MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 5,6,7 / Guidepost 5,6,7|GUIDEPOST 7]], turn to the right and cross the river. This is the toughest section of the segment. Keep walking by the coast of Puerto Inútil to Caleta José (MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 8/ Guidepost 8|GUIDEPOST 8]]). The route becomes rough with steep slopes and a lot of turns intended to avoid the most difficult parts formed by streams flowing into the sea. Pay attention to marks so as not to miss the trail. Warning: slippery floor when too humid or wet. Once you get closer to Caleta José (MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 8 / Guidepost 8|GUIDEPOST 8]]), terrain becomes easier, a more open forest and a better trail. This MILESTONE is located at the beginning of the clear plain and indicated the beach of Caleta José.<br>
The last groups of guanacos may be found in these segments. You may observe them, if you are lucky. There are beavers across the island, as well as typical avifauna from Tierra del Fuego.<br>
[[Archivo:wulaia-d4c.jpg|thumb|300px|right]]
This south direction segment starts in MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 8 / Guidepost 8|GUIDEPOST 8 ]] and surrounds a magnificent coast most of the time. After leaving the camp, climb the hill to the right and follow the marks and stakes that will guide you through a small thicket of mata negra. A trail may be observed in the floor, which has to be followed to Wulaia, always bordering the coast. One hour away from Caleta José - MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 8 / Guidepost 8|GUIDEPOST 8]] - you will find Micalvi river, as well as MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 9,10 / Guidepost 9,10|GUIDEPOST 9]], in its north shore, which has to be crossed carefully. If the river is too swift, and crossing becomes extremely difficult, we recommend you the foot or peak of the stream following animal trails that mark a safer ford. From the sea, you can admire the beautiful cascade that rises a few meters down the circuit.<br>
Following the coast to the south, the trail keeps going through a mixed forest of Lengas and Coigües, passing from time to time by beaches full of shelly deposits. Once you are getting closer to Wulaia, the forest changes to patches planted with new shoots with areas of pastureland or thicket. This is the clearing work trail that made the first settlers who stayed at Wulaia, late the XIXth century, and who fired the forests to allow the growth of shepherding prairies.<br>
MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 9,10/ Guidepost 9,10|GUIDEPOST 10]], on a rock, will indicate that you have arrived to Wulaia. After MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 9,10 / Guidepost 9,10|GUIDEPOST 10]], cross Matanza river, at the outlet to the sea, and you will find thus the great plain of Wulaia, with a majestic view to the building of the old navy radio station.<br>
This is the most emblematic site in relation to old and recent history of Tierra del Fuego. Made of bricks, until a few years ago, it was the only construction built in solid material to the south of the Beagle Channel. Following its abandonment, all what was contained inside was disassembled and robbed. It is today a huge and pitiful empty skeleton that fights against weather inclemency. Heritage value of this building is incalculable and the tremendous effort implied by its construction has not been the object of much research or documentation.<br>
The level of general difficulty of this circuit is qualified as moderately difficult. Difficulties come from adverse weather conditions, the poor visibility of the second segment or its extension where there is no natural sheltered place.<br>
It is important to state that between MILESTONES [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 4,5,6 / Guidepost 4,5,6|GUIDEPOST 6 ]] and 14, the land is apt for camping, the rest is saturated with water and there is no shelter against wind or rain. In consequence, the only appropriate site for camping is at MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 4,5,6 / Guidepost 4,5,6|GUIDEPOST 6]].<br>
Finally, walkers who want to run this circuit in the opposite way of the description – from Wulaia to Lum should consider that the relief configuration favors it: the climb from Wulaia to the Mladineo path has a duration of 2.30 hours and the descent to Lum will only take 4.30 hours. The total walking is 7 hours allowing to execute the road in only one day. Otherwise, count 4.45 hours from Wulaia to the MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 4,5,6 / Guidepost 4,5,6|GUIDEPOST 6]] (a site to camp in the forest) and 2.15 hours to Lum.<br>
===First Segment===
The bridge over Lum river and the neighboring homonymic estancia locate at 35,5 Km at the west from Puerto Williams, which could be reached through the road towards Puerto Navarino with any type of vehicle in less than one hour.<br>
MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 1 ,2,3 / Guidepost 1,2,3|GUIDEPOST 1]] locates at the side of the bridge. A stairs allows to pass above the enclosure. Follow the river edge and do not worry for the dogs which only mark your way. After 150 meters there is a high forest where marks show the start of a well-marked track on the floor. 20 minutes after a rivulet affluent of Lum river crosses the road. MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 1,2,3 / Guidepost 1,2,3|GUIDEPOST 2 ]] locates at the other side.<br>
This rivulet of crystalline water is the last of this type until MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 4,5,6 / Guidepost 4,5,6|GUIDEPOST 6 ]] (2 hours more). In the rest of the section there are lots of rivers or rivulets, but with very turbid water (as a consequence of beavers and the peat). After MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 1,2 ,3 / Guidepost 1,2,3|GUIDEPOST 2]] take a look at the marks that zigzag in the forest until seeing MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 1,2,3 / Guidepost 1,2,3|GUIDEPOST 3 ]] on a tree marking the provisional finish of the forest and the entrance to a large underbush of Mata Negra and Calafate of one-meter height by reaching the next MILESTONE.<br>
A very well-marked track follows the course of the Lum river, which runs to the right (west). A large isolated forest area shows the angle formed by the river to the right. Follow this direction to the posts signaling MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 4,5,6 / Guidepost 4,5,6|GUIDEPOST 4]].<br>
MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 4 ,5,6 / Guidepost 4,5,6|GUIDEPOST 4]] shows a drastic change of direction and the abandonment of the track. In spite the fact the track goes straight, it is necessary to turn to the left (south), following the prominent posts from the underbush. Spines of Calafate and the absence of a marked track difficult the path, but it is a short section.<br>
Soon a small rocky hillock is visible, surrounde it by the right and follow the little valley before take direction to the right, so as to reach a large high forest area that is distinguished by its trees with black dead truncks conforming the tiny lagoon of beavers that you will find soon and which should be surrounded by the left following the marks.<br>
After this large forest area you go through a short clear section before penetrating a large forest. MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 4,5 ,6 / Guidepost 4,5,6|GUIDEPOST 5]] locates at the entrance on a tree. 20 minutes have elapsed from the previous MILESTONE.<br>
Between MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 4,5 ,6 / Guidepost 4,5,6|GUIDEPOST 5]] and [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 4,5,6 / Guidepost 4,5,6|6]], pay special attention to marks. The road zigzags through the forest with no marked track on the floor with general direction to the south and mostly in ascention. After one hour of walking, numerous rivulets and beaver’s habitat sectors are crossed to finally find MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 4,5,6 / Guidepost 4,5,6|GUIDEPOST 6 ]] on a tree.<br>
MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 4,5,6 / Guidepost 4,5,6|GUIDEPOST 6]] states the only site apt for camping at about one hundred meter from the final exit of the forest. It is important to consider that from MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 4,5,6 / Guidepost 4,5,6|GUIDEPOST 6 ]] to Wulaia (at 11.5 Km or 5.30 hrs. after walking) the land is not apprpopriate for camping due to the absence of forest or natural shelter against wind or rain. In addition, the soil is saturated with water or rocks.<br>
The good visibility is essential to guide on the wide valley that follows to the Mladineo path. Evaluate the possibility to continue the tour or spend the night and continue the day after.<br>
[[Archivo:wulaia-tramo2-d2d.jpg|thumb|200px|right]]
This section begins in MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 4,5,6 / Guidepost 4,5,6|GUIDEPOST 6 ]] from where you should follow some hundred of meters until suddenly exit the forest. Posts mark the south, a climb allows to reach a plain where you should surround a lagoon and then left it at the left side (east). Soon, a second lagoon at the right hand (west), where MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 7,8,9 / Guidepost 7,8,9|GUIDEPOST 7 ]] locates at the edge on a small hillock on a MILESTONE of stone.<br>
Pay attention because at 150 m to the southeast from MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 7,8,9 / Guidepost 7,8,9|GUIDEPOST 7]], on an islet forming a perfect conical hillock a highlighted post arises which is noticed at a distance. It is a sign that enables to locate MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 7,8,9 / Guidepost 7,8,9|GUIDEPOST 7]]. The walker should continue (south direction) through the posts with the same marks that have been followed until this point.<br>
After MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 7,8,9 / Guidepost 7,8,9|GUIDEPOST 7 ]] follow the posts to the south before turning to the right and then to the left. In 15 minutes you will get to a stone MILESTONE conforming MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 7,8,9 / Guidepost 7,8,9|GUIDEPOST 8]]. From here, the land guide steps to MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 10,11,12 / Guidepost 10,11,12|GUIDEPOST 11]]. It is a path through a wide valley lacking of high vegetation and full of small lagoons, streams and beavers’ lagoons. From MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 7,8,9 / Guidepost 7,8,9|GUIDEPOST 8]], an extended sight can be appreciated to the south. If an imaginary line is traced in that direction three prominent elements can be observed:<br>
1. At the left side (east), a solitary mount ending in a hillock, the lowest of the three hillocks conforming the peak: It is Vrsalovic mount, which should be surrounded by the right. MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 7,8,9 / Guidepost 7,8,9|GUIDEPOST 9]] locates at the foot thereof.<br>
2. At the south, to the west end of the Vrsalovic mount, the horizon closes with a line of undulatory peaks, a mountain chain from east to west. In the middle, Mladineo path is observed, MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 10,11 ,12 / Guidepost 10,11,12|GUIDEPOST 11]] locates there.<br>
3. In the lower half to the Mladineo path, a simple view with good light, a huge black and square rock is noticed at 200 m to the right (west). There is MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 10,11,12 / Guidepost 10,11,12|GUIDEPOST 10]], where marks take their habitual frequency again.<br>
With direction to the feet of Vrsalovic mount you will leave MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 7,8,9 / Guidepost 7,8,9|GUIDEPOST 8 ]] with direction to the south and you will be guided by the instinct to find the best crossings between rivulets or water bodies that are all over the place. In the middle of the road, between MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 7,8,9 / Guidepost 7,8,9|GUIDEPOST 8 ]] and the feet of Vrsalovic mount, a stone MILESTONE on the peak of a small hillock shows the position of MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 7,8,9 / Guidepost 7,8,9|GUIDEPOST 9]]. If you have followed the imaginary line, then this MILESTONE should be at the left of the walker.<br>
Move forward between waters and rocky hillocks, you will reach to the surroundings of Vrsalovic mount, where there is a pretty large lagoon which should be surrounded by the right to find a three meter post showing MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 10,11,12 / Guidepost 10,11,12|GUIDEPOST 10]].<br>
MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 10,11,12 / Guidepost 10,11,12|GUIDEPOST 10 ]] shows a point to the west of the lagoon located at the foot of Vrsalovic mount, from here the previously mentioned black rock is clearly noticed. At a short distance to the right (west) there is a smaller rock on which you could even distinguish the white color conforming the background of the MILESTONE mark. Take the climb strongly inclined to reach 40 minutes later to MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 10,11,12 / Guidepost 10,11,12|GUIDEPOST 11]].<br>
MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 10,11 ,12 / Guidepost 10,11,12|GUIDEPOST 11]] shows a middle point on the climb of the Mladineo path. Until moving downwards to the other side of the Mladineo path all marks are MILESTONES of stones. Between MILESTONES [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 10,11 ,12 / Guidepost 10,11,12|GUIDEPOST 11]] and [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 10,11,12 / Guidepost 10,11,12|12 ]] you could turn around and enjoy the beautiful sight above the Beagle and Ushuaia channels. Cheer up from now to Wulaia, the road is downwards.<br>
After MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 10,11,12 / Guidepost 10,11,12|GUIDEPOST 11]], continue climbing through stone MILESTONES during 30 minutes following a south direction until MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 10,11,12 / Guidepost 10,11,12|GUIDEPOST 12 ]] which shows the position of the Mladineo path and the end of the climb.<br>
A few meters after the peak of the path and MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 10,11,12/ Guidepost 10,11,12|GUIDEPOST 12]], an abrupt rocky descent opens under which you could perfectly distinguish the stone MILESTONE showing the following MILESTONE at the beginning of the reappearance of the vegetal layer.<br>
Before the descent enjoy the wonderful sight: to the south the Tortuga mount (836 m.a.s.l.) and its two peaks in the form of smashed hillocks state the southwest corner of the Navarino island; to the southwest, a solitary peak near the sea in King Scott mount (590 m.a.s.l.), accessible through a path that commences in Wulaia. Ponsonby bosom opens to the west surrounded by the mountains of the Hoste island. Pacha and Mascart islands highlight in the center. In the same axle, but invisible from this point is Wulaia and the end of the path.<br>
The next 3,3 kilometers of the section to the last descent in the forest over Wulaia at the foot of the path a wide valley opens which should follow to the sea, namely to the west, keeping the left side (south) of the valley.<br>
From MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 10,11,12 / Guidepost 10,11,12|GUIDEPOST 12 ]] follow the marks with south direction being careful with the loose rocks of this abrupt descent. 30 minutes of walking through the vegetation of diverse mosses is a stone MILESTONE showing MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 13,14,15 / Guidepost 13,14,15|GUIDEPOST 13]]. The feet of the Vrsalovic path on its south hillside and a change of direction to the (southwest), where the descent of the valley begins until entering the forest.<br>
From MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 13,14,15 / Guidepost 13,14,15|GUIDEPOST 13]], a series of stone MILESTONES will guide your steps until crossing the river. Then, although there are no marks during half an hour, keep the same direction between tiny areas of forest to the left (south) and the river which has just forded at your right (north). Afterwards, high posts appear showing the road until a descent, here a short forest section crosses followed by the crossing of the Matanza river. At a few meters after fording the river, MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 13,14,15 / Guidepost 13,14,15|GUIDEPOST 14 ]] indicates the entrance to a forest and the beginning of the last section of this path, which develops inside the forest and with a strong slope downwards. Follow the marks for not losing the track. One hour of walking and you will be at the exit of the forest. MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 13,14,15 / Guidepost 13,14,15|GUIDEPOST 15 ]] locates over a door gate for livestock, 200 m through the pastureland having at sight the old former radio station from Wulaia.<br>
==Alternative Extension==
From the peak of the King Scott mount, you will have the opportunity to observe and discover, the geographybeyond the Murray channel. The vision embraces an extension of 120Km from north to south and 90 Km from west to east. The tour includesbeaches, beautiful coastal, interior and height forests, large peat mossesand beavers’ habitat sectors.<br>
===First Segment=== The tour begins at the former radio station from Wulaia (MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 10,11,12 / Guidepost 10,11,12|GUIDEPOST 10]]). Then you will cross a pastureland where you will notice a number of large areas of shells used by the old Yámanas inhabitants as a shelter for winter time. At the other end, a clear track is distinguished that climbs the hillside of a hillock. Follow this track and surround the coast during 45 minutes until MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 11 / Guidepost 11|GUIDEPOST 11 ]] located on a tree at a few meters after a small river.<br>
The section between MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 11 / Guidepost 11|GUIDEPOST 11]] and 12 (1.20 hours of walking for 6 Km on an uneven surface of 340 m) allows to arrive to a higher plain surrounding the east of King Scott mount. It is not a constant slope, it appears in the form of steps. The climb towards the beginning of the peak is strong, but short: 160 m of unleveled surface in 500 m (30 min. of walking). The last 10 min. at the rocky part of the peak require precaution for the precipice that opens at the west side (there is enough distance to keep far from the precipice).<br>
MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 11 / Guidepost 11|GUIDEPOST 11]] indicates a change of direction to the east and the start of the ascension to the feet of King Scott mount. You will pass through small forests of Coigües and Lengas, which will later lead to Mata Negra, Calafate, Chaura and some isolated species of Notros and firewoods.<br>
Follow the marks that cross a sector of forest which slowly becomes more clear until leaving vast pasturelands where Bulrush and Frutilla del Diablo develop in the areas of highest humidity. After following a hillside through a well-marked track, enter the forest again and follow with attention the marks showing a soon change of direction to the right (south), facing in certain sections very inclined slopes. The alternation of forests and peat mosses conclude in a wooded hillock which suddenly offers a clear sight of the large upper plain at the east of the King Scott mount.<br>
MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 12 ,13,14 / Guidepost 12,13,14|GUIDEPOST 12]] locates on a tree at the edge of the forest showing the exit and the start of the plain before the ascension of the mount. King Scott mount elevates to the right. Its proximity is real, but a deep stream and a sector of lagoons, invisible from there, do not allow to reach it in straight line.<br>
The forest of the hillock before MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 12 ,13,14 / Guidepost 12,13,14|GUIDEPOST 12]] offers a good place for camping with a rivulet at 100 m. Immediately after MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 12,13,14 / Guidepost 12,13,14|GUIDEPOST 12 ]] follow the series of posts crossing the peat, which turn to the left. Do not enter forest sectors.<br>
Pay attention to the posts showing the road, especially in the middle of the section dominated by bulrushes.<br>
The start of the valley that justifies this long detour to the left is at the right.<br>
By getting closer to King Scott mount, there is an opening of a plain with lagoons and a spreading forest particularly damaged by beavers and forcing to zigzag between these obstacles. You should identify the marks leading to edges of the forest (MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 12,13,14 / Guidepost 12,13,14|GUIDEPOST 13]]), which covers the last slope towards the peak of the King Scott mount.<br>
This MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 12,13 ,14 / Guidepost 12,13,14|GUIDEPOST 13]] on the edge of the forest indicates the start of the final ascension to the peak that is moderately difficult and depends on soil humidity. Enter the forest and Iet you guide by a particularly dense marking through a very inclined slope. In the event the soil is saturated with water, most abrupt sections are very slippery and could cause serious risks of fall.<br>
Upon exiting the forest follow the tracks of the guanacos in the middle of rocks to the right. A stone MILESTONE shows the highest part of the peak of the King Scott mount (MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 12,13,14/ Guidepost 12,13,14|GUIDEPOST 14]]). Wind gusts could be very violent here. You should cover your personal items (cap, gloves, even cameras, etc.) King Scott mount is a fortress protected almost all along its perimeter by vertiginous precipices or deep streams.<br>
If you have reached the peak of the King Scott mount ¡Congratulations! Now, enjoy the sight:<br>
