- 30-Dec-19 to 1-Jan-19 / Martín Lizondo / Regular Hiking Southbound
The boat to Loyola and Chumilden leaves Caleta Gonzalo on monday, tuesday, wednesday and friday at 11 am. Contact: Roberto Btos +56 9 85564749. Cost = CLP 2400 per person. Also locals travel by small boats between Caleta Gonzalo to Loyola and Chumilden and can pick you up for some money. The route starts in Loyola following mostly isolated minor road, some cross country sections and cattle trails. The trails are very moody and in bad conditions. Walking along the beach is an easier alternative. Two river crossing are difficult: “Río Quita Calzón” and “Río Negro”. The second one depends on the sea level and is practicaly impassable by foot at the gps’s track point. Instead, a boat crossing is recommended from Chana, which is near to the beach and easy to access. From Chana the road continues to Chaiten.
