Wulaia Heritage Road ==Access== Land access islocated in the northmade through road Y-east sector ofNavarino Island905, a few kilometersto the north of Cape Horn55 Km from Puerto Williams. This Although it isthe third Heritage Roadimplemented in Navarino Islandopen at all times,following Dientes de it only connects Puerto Williams to Puerto Navarino andLago Windhond Routes, each ofthem as described in theirrespective Topoguides. Thispedestrian route system travels 150Km of paths discovering thedifferent landscapes and vegetationsystems existing in Tierra delFuego's south. This new routemakes It is a tour through 7000 yearsof history available dirt road to trekking fans.Depending on time available,physical condition Lum and enthusiasm,the visitor can modulate his/hertour and customize his/her circuitwith walks lasting from 1 there to 6 days.In Yamana languageWulaia, Wulaiameans beautiful bay a signed and has beenfor thousands of years thehistorical capital of Tierra delFuegomarked trail. It is easy to see dozens ofold Yamana camp sites Note thataccount for the beauty of the place.Here, in Wulaia, historical eventstook place, meetings and disputes,between Yamana and Europeancivilizations.Here Puerto Williams is where JemmyButton's story took place, theYamana that was taken to and300 Km from England by Fitz Roy to becivilizedPunta Arenas, and who played later,in 1939Navarino Island, a significant role in theslaughtering of the 8 Englishmissionaries. Charles Darwinalso started here his thinkingabout evolution of the species.Late XIXth century, Wulaia wasthe place chosen which can be reached by two Croatiangold hunters to settle a rangededicated to sheep farming,transforming thus theenvironment of the placeplane or boat. Now, amajestic abandoned construction(a radio station built in 1931)talks to us about the efforts madeby the Chilean Republic toexercise sovereignty even in thelast corner of this territory. Buttoday, Wulaia is about to becomea modern Archeological Park.Walking to Wulaia isequivalent to submerge oneself intoTierra del Fuego's myth and reality,into a unique nature in the world,its millenary history and itsuntemporal beauty.Wulaia Heritage Road isdivided into two main circuits:<br> Fishing boats regularly connect Puerto Navarino-Wulaia and Lum-Wulaia. Both of them connectBeagle Channel's coast to Wulaia<br> There is no regular transportation between Ushuaia and allow to start walking by anyof them and go back to the north bythe other. These two circuits areadded an extension to King Scottmount, called Wulaia-King Scottmount.The 29 km Puerto Navarino-Wulaia circuit, lasting from 2.5 only boats for rent that may take one to3.5 days, follows the coast facingTierra del Fuego's vigor andnatural beauty, both by land andocean, comprising a number ofsites where Yamana indigenouspeople installed their camps.The 18.3 km Lum-Wulaiacircuit, lasting from 1 to 1.5 days,goes through plentiful coast foreststo discover the charm of lowvegetation valleys, where the windfeels free to blow two hours in the apparentlywasted immensity of Cape Horncrossing Beagle Channel.The 18.6 km and one dayduration Wulaia – King Scottmount extension (from and toWulaia) provides an opportunityto easily reach the lonely peak onthe shores of the sea that iscrowned at 600 meters of altitude.The panoramic view provided overTierra del Fuego archipelago willleave unforgettable memories.We recommend to walk thisroute from December to March,however, it can also Planes may be traveledfrom October contacted to November andaccess Puerto Williams from April to May, noting thatsnowfalls may be encounteredin high sectors.Read this Topoguidecarefully before starting the walk.It is necessary to plan and beinformed on cautions to be taken,taking care of nature and ofarcheological sites to be visitedUshuaia.<br>

==SignalingGeneral Description==

The signaling system Wulaia Heritage Road is madeup by Arabic numbers which havetheir own meaning described located inthis Topoguide. The roadcomprises 29 MILESTONES anda number the north-east sector of route and directionindication marksNavarino Island, using rockmonoliths, wooden stakes andtrees. MILESTONES aregeographically referencedaccording a few kilometers to Datum P. South-Am.69. In addition, you will findamong them a number the north of marksthat help orient visitorsCape Horn.In This is the first circuit Puertothird Heritage Road implemented in Navarino-WulaiaIsland, marks consistfollowing Dientes de Navarino and Lago Windhond Routes, each of a red horizontal line ona white or yellowrectangular backgroundthem as described in their respective Topoguides. InThis pedestrian route system travels 150 Km of paths discovering the second circuit Lum-Wulaia: marks are different landscapes and vegetation systems existing in Tierra del Fuego's south. This new route makes a doubleyellow horizontal line on ared rectangularbackground. Finally, markstour through 7000 years of the extension history available to King Scottmount are presented as in the firstcircuit Puerto Navarino-Wulaiatrekking fans.<br>

The Puerto Navarino-Walking to Wulaiacircuit is one of the alternativesproposed equivalent to connect BeagleChannel’s shore submerge oneself into Tierra del Fuego's myth and NavarinoIsland coast with Wulaia. It is 29km long and requires a 14 hourwalkreality, that is, three or four days,depending on the rhythm of thewalker.The raid will take you by alandscape surrounded by all-seapanoramic views and will showyou important archeologicalheritage vestiges of NavarinoIsland. This is an impressing tourfor its closeness to the sea andpermanent vision of the horizonfull of peaks and mounts.The circuit has been dividedinto 4 segments, with more touralternatives, depending on yourown rhythm, physical conditionand weather conditions. It takesplace mostly in the coast providingthus the opportunity to observesplendid and diverse vegetationalgroups. A number of archeologicalsites of the 7000 year-old Yamananomad-maritime race enrich thetour and can be seen at a glance.The first Puerto Navarino-Puerto Isorna segment is aninteresting tour that followsMurray channel coast. In sectorslacking of protection, you canfeel the strength of the wind thatmakes you remember that you areunique nature in the end of the world. LeavingBeagle Channel coast, followMurray channel coast, thatseparates Navarino Island fromHoste island.The second Puerto Isorna-Puerto Inútil segment takes placein the interior sector of a valleyby a difficult trail that leads toPuerto Inútil.The third Puerto Inútil-Caleta José segment is amagnificent tour by the west coastof Navarino Island surroundedby extremely beautiful its millenary history andexuberant forests. Caleta José’sbeach is a great place to camp.Finally, the fourth CaletaJosé-Wulaia segment is a walkby a coast trail of an extremeits untemporal beauty with impressingpanoramic views and lands madeup by pasturelands, forests andpeat mosses. For all public.<br>

===First segment===Wulaia Heritage Road is divided into two main circuits: Puerto Navarino-Wulaia and Lum -Wulaia. Both of them connect Beagle Channel'''PUERTO NAVARINOs coast to Wulaia and allow to start walking by any of them and go back to the north by the other. These two circuits are added an extension to King Scott mount, called Wulaia-PUERTO ISORNA'''King Scott mount.<br>

It starts in the sector of PuertoNavarino. Passing behind theHarbor Master’s Office, in themiddle of the thickets, you will findthe trail to be followed to the west.Although this point is notrepresented through a mark orMILESTONE, it can be easilydetected because it coincides withHarbor Master’s Office and dockfacilities. This point has beenconsidered as kilometer zero.You must always follow thestrip that goes between the coastand the high forest. There are manytrails marked by constant passageof cattle, but the ideal trail isalways within 200 m of the coast.The route recovers an oldhorse trail that resulted from theinstallation, late XIXth century, ofthe first cattle settlements in theisland, in Liwaia and then in 29 km PuertoNavarino. It is still possible toobserve remains of old and largefences or yards which are amazingfor the huge work needed for theirconstruction.Clear and clean water supplysources are scarce in this first part.We recommend you to collect waterin the river located 100 m beforethe houses of Puerto Navarino.Leaving Puerto Navarinobehind, walk 40 minutes throughthickets of Mata Negra andCalafates to a wide plain coveredwith grass. Liwaia is located onthe shores of the rivulet, as well asMILESTONE 1, 1- Wulaia circuit,636 m lasting fromPuerto Navarino2. A beautifulpeninsula is detached in this sectorover Beagle Channel.Liwaia is a beautiful and cozyplace, but not fit for camping. Therivulet is dry in the summer andthe terrain is not protected fromwinds. Leaving the peninsula, 5 tothe right, and longitudinallycrossing the clear plain, follow tothe second beach located to thewest. Turn here and go up to theleft and enter again to the thicketto follow the coast.It is common to find cow andpork cattle3. Although they barelyperceive human presence5 days, youbetter not surprise them and makenoise to announce your presenceand give them time to run away.Females with offspring may beaggressive. In this extreme case,there is only one solution: runningto the closest tree or rock.From MILESTONE 1, keepgoing by the pastureland to thewest until starting a soft decline toa beach. To the left (south), thereis a stake indicating one of themany trails that get into the thicketsector. Follow the trail marked byanimals and do not get away fromfollows the coast. 40 minutes later, you willfond the remains of an old fencemade of trunks that ends in the sea.60 metros before reaching the sea,you will find MILESTONE 2, astake attached to the fence thatindicates the end of the thicket facing Tierra del Fuego's vigor andthe entry to the forest. From herenatural beauty,follow the stakes that mark a zigzagroute until arriving to a high forest.The trail no longer bordersthe Beagle coast and changes thedirection to follow Murray channelcoast in a north-south axis. As itgets closer to Murray channel, youcan see the highest forest ofCinnamon trees and Coigües. Youcan observe evident impact of windin their growth.After MILESTONE 2, keepgoing both by the line of stakes thatzigzags among small forests beforegetting into their luxuriant growth.From the vegetational point of view,this is a very attractive segmentfor its individuals of Notros, Lengas,Cinnamon trees, a shrub-likestratum of high development withrepresentation of Calafates,Sarsaparillas, Michay land and Speciesof Myrtle.Openings and forests go oneafter the other until a brief descentto a beach covered by pasturelandsand shelly depositsocean, at the heightof comprising a tiny woody that protrudes toMurray channel. Follow thepastureland to the south and aftera brief passage by the forest, to aplace known as Puerto de Hambre:MILESTONE 3. This is a gorgeousplace to camp, although water isscarce in the summer.Few meters away from theremains number of a yard, there is a smallwater jet. Be patient to fill up acontainer. There is a lagoon 100m inland, in a clear plain in themiddle of the forest, but water isstagnant and turbid in the summer.Therefore, it has to be boiled beforeconsumption. The closest andsafest place to obtain water isPuerto Isorna, after a 50 minutewalk.From MILESTONE 3, go to amark located in the other end ofthe small pastureland to get in theforest. After several ups and downs,alternating forests and beaches,even a stony sector sites where attentionmust be paid so as not to fall down,you will arrive to a huge plain ofgrass on the shores of the sea. Thisis Puerto Isorna. The start isMILESTONE 4, a beautiful beachand a great place to camp,although it lacks of trees protectingfrom the rain. We recommend youto install the camp near theMILESTONE, on the brink of theforest, in the sector of the bonfire.The river that flows into the sea,to the south of the MILESTONE,will provide abundant water. Toenjoy charms of Murray channelcoast, when you walk by thesurroundings, you will seespectacular views of the channel.A splendid mirador is located atone hour from Puerto Isorna in thefollowing position of coordinatesUTM 542962 E and 3908925 NYamana indigenous people installed their camps.<br>

===Second segment==='''PUERTO ISORNA The 18.3 km Lum- PUERTO INÚTIL'''Wulaia circuit, lasting from 1 to 1.5 days, goes through plentiful coast forests to discover the charm of low vegetation valleys, where the wind feels free to blow in the apparently wasted immensity of Cape Horn.<br>

Description of the Section:After MILESTONE 4, crossthe entire extension of thepastureland and wade through theriver near its outlet into the sea.When you find the lowest waterdepth (in case of high tide,surround the hill We recommend to the inland andcross the river in the forest). At theopposite shore, climb some metersstraight before turning to the left(east), turning your back to thesea.After a short climbing, youwill find a woody plain obstructedby the works made by the beavers.Turn to the left (north) and crossthe river again in the oppositedirection than in the previouscrossing. After 60 m, turn to theright (east) and cross walk this semi-swampy plain always looking atthe marks located in the oppositeshore that indicate the arrival.Turn route from December to the left (north) and followthe marks that indicate a newchange of direction to the right(east)March, attacking the high gradient.The path is characterized bya steep gradient in a quite denseforest. Pay attention to the marksso as not to miss the path. In spiteof the zigzag-shaped nature ofthis long climbinghowever, generaldirection is to the east. You mayget out sometimes to reach a peakand enjoy magnificent panoramicviews of the Murray channel,Sampaio mounts, and part of theBeagle Channel.After two hours of anexhausting climbing, you willit can also be happy to arrive to a forestfree plain: here, you will findMILESTONE 5, hanging traveled from atree, near a clearing, indicatingproximity October to a great campingsite, in the shores of Represalagoon.To get there, you have to climbby a small woody hill to the right(south), November and from its opposite hillside,you will see an important beaver'sdam indicating the end of Represalagoon. The camping site is locatedat the entry of the forest, few metersApril to the right (south) of the dam. Toget thereMay, border the plain noting that isopened at the other side of the hillor walk by the dam (depending onriver conditions) to the forest .Abonfire will confirm you that youhave arrived to the camp.After MILESTONE 5, the routestill has a zigzag shape through adense forest. Therefore, pay attentionto the continuity of the intensemarking characterizing the sector.You will finally arrive to the lastsegment of a long climbing and youwill start going down to Laguna delMedio, that have to snowfalls may be surroundedby the right side (south), withoutgetting close to the shore. Beforereaching its south-east end, you willencounter MILESTONE 6.This MILESTONE, painted ona tree, is located few meters fromLaguna del Medio shore. It is theonly place where the circuitreaches the bank of the lagoon andis also an alternative to camp,although the land is often wet.After MILESTONE 6, keepgoing by the south hillside of thevalley that goes down to PuertoInútil. Pay attention so as not tomiss the track. South-east directionbefore changing again the courseto the east during the last 30 minutesof walk. After having walked for2:30 hours, you will get to the shoreof a river, 50 m away from its outletinto the sea. MILESTONE 7 is on ahighlighted tree, indicating arrivalto the coast by a deep sea arm calledPuerto Inútil. This is the onlycamping site encountered in the sector. Do notcross the river in MILESTONE 7,turn to the right, getting close to thebeach, where you will quickly arriveto a sector covered with grass thatcontrasts to the forest. At the upperpart of the pastureland, in the middleof shelly deposits, there are a numberof sites where you can install yourtent. There are small sites near theforest, but the land is usuallysaturated with waterhigh sectors. ===Third segment==='''PUERTO INÚTIL-CALETA JOSÉ'''<br>

===Fourth segment==='''CALETA JOSÉThe signaling system is made up by Arabic numbers which have their own meaning described in this Topoguide. The road comprises 29 MILESTONES and a number of route and direction indication marks, using rock monoliths, wooden stakes and trees. MILESTONES are geographically referenced according to Datum P. South-WULAIA'''Am. 69. In addition, you will find among them a number of marks that help orient visitors.<br>

This south direction segmentstarts in MILESTONE 8 andsurrounds a magnificent coast mostof In the time. After leaving the campfirst circuit Puerto Navarino-Wulaia,climb the hill to the right and followthe marks and stakes that will guideyou through a small thicket consist of matanegra. A trail may be observed inthe floor, which has to be followedto Wulaia, always bordering thecoast. One hour away from CaletaJosé - MILESTONE 8 - you willfind Micalvi river, as well asMILESTONE 9, in its north shore,which has to be crossed carefully.If the river is too swift, and crossingbecomes extremely difficult, werecommend you the foot or peak ofthe stream following animal trailsthat mark a safer ford. From thesea, you can admire the beautifulcascade that rises red horizontal line on a few metersdown the circuit.Following the coast to thesouth, the trail keeps going througha mixed forest of Lengas andCoigües, passing from time to timeby beaches full of shelly deposits.Once you are getting closer toWulaia, the forest changes topatches planted with new shootswith areas of pastureland white or thicketyellow rectangular background.This is In the clearing work trail thatmade the first settlers who stayedat second circuit Lum- Wulaia, late the XIXth century,and who fired the forests to allowthe growth of shepherding prairies.MILESTONE 10, : marks are a double yellow horizontal line on a rock,will indicate that you have arrivedto Wulaiared rectangular background. After MILESTONE 10Finally,cross Matanza river, at the outletto the sea, and you will find thusthe great plain marks of Wulaia, with amajestic view to the building of theold navy radio station.This is the most emblematicsite in relation extension to old and recenthistory of Tierra del Fuego. Madeof bricks, until a few years ago, itwas the only construction built King Scott mount are presented as insolid material to the south of theBeagle Channel. Following itsabandonment, all what wascontained inside was disassembledand robbed. It is today a huge andpitiful empty skeleton that fightsagainst weather inclemency.Heritage value of this building isincalculable and the tremendouseffort implied by its constructionhas not been the object of muchresearch or documentation.The big grassy plain is perfectfor camping everywhere. The onlyprotection from wind is providedby the house. We recommend youto camp next to the house, but it ispossible to stay at the grandioseabandoned building of the formernaval radio station. South side dooris opened. Go to the next door usingnorth side stairs, and the first roomto the left may receive travelerswith some comfort: a table, chairs,and a metallic drum which may beused as a stovecircuit Puerto Navarino-heater. The buildingdoes not have rest rooms and watermust be taken from the river. Beforeyou leave, provide some firewoodfor the next visitorsWulaia.<br>

==PUERTO LUMNAVARINO -WULAIA==

===Route description===This The Puerto Navarino-Wulaia circuit connects is one of thealternatives proposed to connect Beagle Channel’s shore of Beagle Channel and thenorth coast of Navarino Island,coast with Wulaia. It is 18.3 29 km longand requires 8 hr of continuouswalk. It corresponds to the oldtrail to get to Wulaia and its reliefis a long 6 14 hour rise from Lum toMladineo passage (650 masl)walk,and thenthat is, a 2 hour way down toWulaiathree or four days, depending on the rhythm of the walker.<br>

Taking land configurationinto consideration, the few goodcamping sites and walk times, werecommend The raid will take you to travel thiscircuit in one day and by a half. Thiscircuit has two segments.The first segment lastsapproximately 2 hours landscape surrounded by all-sea panoramic views and 30 mand goes through large extensionsof thickets and beautiful forests,where will show you will often find beaver'sdams. You may enjoy gorgeousviews important archeological heritage vestiges of the Beagle Channel andUshuaiaNavarino Island.After This is an invigorating nightunder the shelter of the upperlimit of the forest, starts the 5:15hour long second segment. Highvegetation suddenly disappearsmaking way impressing tour for high humid steppealmost free of trees. Soil iscovered with different varietiesof peat mosses blended its closeness to rushor gramineous species, or anumber of outcrops of rocks, water,rivers or lagoons.Those who know how toobserve and decipher nature willbe amazed by the vigor of animalsea and vegetable life permanent vision of the sector.In the highest part horizon full of the lastsegment, Mladineo passagecrossing is incorrectly called“Andean desert”, where mineralis omnipresent. However, thereare some discrete peaks and fascinatingmanifestations of vegetationmounts.<br>

From hereThe circuit has been divided into 4 segments, you will observemajestic views of the south-westof Navarino Island, Ponsonbygulf and mysterious Hoste island.In the last hour of walk, ahigh and very dense forestappears again as suddenly as ithad disappeared at the beginningof the segment. When the routegets closer to the sea level,pasturelands and younger trees(patches planted with new shots)appear more frequentlytour alternatives, remainsof intentional burning at the endof the XIXth centurydepending on your own rhythm, when sheepbreeding was implemented inWulaia to prepare prairies.Finally, Wulaia, the beautifulbay of the Yamanas, a place fullof history physical condition and connected with thepaths to the peak of King Scottmount or to Puerto Navarinothrough the enchanted shores ofthe west, both described in thistopoguide.The level of general difficultyof this circuit is qualified asmoderately difficult. Difficultiescome from adverse weatherconditions, the poor visibility ofthe second segment or itsextension where there is nonatural sheltered place.It is important to state thatbetween MILESTONES 6 and 14,takes place mostly in the land is apt for camping, coast providing thus therest is saturated with water opportunity to observe splendid andthere is no shelter against windor raindiverse vegetational groups. In consequence, the onlyappropriate site for camping isat MILESTONE 6.Finally, walkers who wantto run this circuit in the oppositeway A number of archeological sites of the description – fromWulaia to Lum should considerthat 7000 year-old Yamana nomad-maritime race enrich the relief configurationfavors it: the climb from Wulaiato the Mladineo path has aduration of 2.30 hours tour and thedescent to Lum will only take4.30 hours. The total walking is7 hours allowing to execute theroad in only one day. Otherwise,count 4.45 hours from Wulaia tothe MILESTONE 6 (can be seen at a site tocamp in the forest) and 2glance.15hours to Lum<br>

===First Segment==='''PUENTE LUMThe first Puerto Navarino-CAMPAMENTO'''Puerto Isorna segment is an interesting tour that follows Murray channel coast. In sectors lacking of protection, you can feel the strength of the wind that makes you remember that you are in the end of the world. Leaving Beagle Channel coast, follow Murray channel coast, that separates Navarino Island from Hoste island.<br>

The bridge over Lum river andthe neighboring homonymic estancialocate at 35,5 Km at the west fromsecond Puerto Williams, which could bereached through the road towardsIsorna- Puerto Navarino with any type ofvehicle Inútil segment takes place in less than one hour.MILESTONE 1 locates at theside interior sector of the bridge. A stairs allowsto pass above the enclosure. Followthe river edge and do not worry forthe dogs which only mark your way.After 150 meters there is a highforest where marks show the startof a well-marked track on the floor.20 minutes after a rivulet affluentof Lum river crosses the road.MILESTONE 2 locates at the otherside.This rivulet of crystallinewater is the last of this type untilMILESTONE 6 (2 hours more). Inthe rest of the section there are lotsof rivers or rivulets, but with veryturbid water (as a consequence ofbeavers and the peat). AfterMILESTONE 2 take a look at themarks that zigzag in the forest untilseeing MILESTONE 3 on a treemarking the provisional finish ofthe forest and the entrance to alarge underbush of Mata Negraand Calafate of one-meter heightvalley by reaching the next MILESTONE.A very well-marked trackfollows the course of the Lum river,which runs to the right (west). Alarge isolated forest area showsthe angle formed by the river tothe right. Follow this direction tothe posts signaling MILESTONE4.MILESTONE 4 shows adrastic change of direction and theabandonment of the track. In spitethe fact the track goes straight, itis necessary to turn to the left(south), following the prominentposts from the underbush. Spinesof Calafate and the absence of amarked track difficult the path, butit is a short section.Soon a small rocky hillock isvisible, surrounde it by the rightand follow the little valley beforetake direction to the right, so as toreach a large high forest area trail thatis distinguished by its trees withblack dead truncks conforming thetiny lagoon of beavers that youwill find soon and which shouldbe surrounded by the left followingthe marks.After this large forest area yougo through a short clear sectionbefore penetrating a large forest.MILESTONE 5 locates at theentrance on a tree. 20 minutes haveelapsed from the previousMILESTONE.Between MILESTONE 5 and6, pay special attention leads to marks.The road zigzags through the forestwith no marked track on the floorwith general direction to the southand mostly in ascention. After onehour of walking, numerous rivuletsand beaver’s habitat sectors arecrossed to finally find MILESTONE6 on a tree.MILESTONE 6 states the onlysite apt for camping at about onehundred meter from the final exitof the forest. It is important toconsider that from MILESTONE 6to Wulaia (at 11.5 Km or 5.30 hrs.after walking) the land is notapprpopriate for camping due tothe absence of forest or naturalshelter against wind or rain. Inaddition, the soil is saturated withwater or rocks.The good visibility is essentialto guide on the wide valley thatfollows to the Mladineo path.Evaluate the possibility to continuethe tour or spend the night andcontinue the day afterPuerto Inútil.<br>

===Second segment==='''CAMPAMENTOThe third Puerto Inútil-WULAIA'''Caleta José segment is a magnificent tour by the west coast of Navarino Island surrounded by extremely beautiful and exuberant forests. Caleta José’s beach is a great place to camp.<br>

This section begins inMILESTONE 6 from where youshould follow some hundred of metersuntil suddenly exit the forest. Postsmark the southFinally, a climb allows toreach a plain where you shouldsurround a lagoon and then left it atthe left side (east). Soon, a secondlagoon at the right hand (west), whereMILESTONE 7 locates at the edgeon a small hillock on a MILESTONEof stone.Pay attention because at 150 mto the southeast from MILESTONE7, on an islet forming a perfectconical hillock a highlighted postarises which fourth Caleta José-Wulaia segment is noticed at a distance.It is walk by a sign that enables to locateMILESTONE 7. The walker shouldcontinue (south direction) throughthe posts with the same marks thathave been followed until this point.After MILESTONE 7 follow theposts to the south before turning tothe right and then to the left. In 15minutes you will get to a stoneMILESTONE conformingMILESTONE 8. From here, the landguide steps to MILESTONE 11. It isa path through a wide valley lackingcoast trail of high vegetation and full of smalllagoons, streams and beavers’lagoons. From MILESTONE 8, anextended sight can be appreciatedto the south. If an imaginary line istraced in that direction threeprominent elements can be observed:1. At the left side (east), a solitarymount ending in a hillock, thelowest of the three hillocksconforming the peak: It isVrsalovic mount, which should besurrounded by the right.MILESTONE 9 locates at the footthereof.2. At the south, to the west end ofthe Vrsalovic mount, the horizoncloses extreme beauty with a line of undulatorypeaks, a mountain chain from eastto west. In the middle, Mladineopath is observed, MILESTONE 11locates there.3. In the lower half to the Mladineopath, a simple view with good light,a huge black impressing panoramic views and square rock isnoticed at 200 m to the right (west).There is MILESTONE 10, wheremarks take their habitual frequencyagain.With direction to the feet ofVrsalovic mount you will leaveMILESTONE 8 with direction to thesouth and you will be guided by theinstinct to find the best crossingsbetween rivulets or water bodies thatare all over the place. In the middleof the road, between MILESTONE8 and the feet of Vrsalovic mount, astone MILESTONE on the peak ofa small hillock shows the positionof MILESTONE 9. If you havefollowed the imaginary line, thenthis MILESTONE should be at theleft of the walker.Move forward between watersand rocky hillocks, you will reachto the surroundings of Vrsalovicmount, where there is a pretty largelagoon which should be surroundedby the right to find a three meterpost showing MILESTONE 10.MILESTONE 10 shows a pointto the west of the lagoon located atthe foot of Vrsalovic mount, fromhere the previously mentioned blackrock is clearly noticed. At a shortdistance to the right (west) there isa smaller rock on which you couldeven distinguish the white colorconforming the background of theMILESTONE mark. Take the climbstrongly inclined to reach 40 minuteslater to MILESTONE 11.MILESTONE 11 shows amiddle point on the climb of theMladineo path. Until movingdownwards to the other side of theMladineo path all marks areMILESTONES of stones. BetweenMILESTONES 11 and 12 you couldturn around and enjoy the beautifulsight above the Beagle and Ushuaiachannels. Cheer lands made up from now toWulaia, the road is downwards.After MILESTONE 11, continueclimbing through stoneMILESTONES during 30 minutesfollowing a south direction untilMILESTONE 12 which shows theposition of the Mladineo path andthe end of the climb.A few meters after the peak ofthe path and MILESTONE 12, anabrupt rocky descent opens underwhich you could perfectlydistinguish the stone MILESTONEshowing the following MILESTONEat the beginning of the reappearanceof the vegetal layer.Before the descent enjoy thewonderful sight: to the south theTortuga mount (836 m.a.s.l.) and itstwo peaks in the form of smashedhillocks state the southwest cornerof the Navarino island; to thesouthwest, a solitary peak near thesea in King Scott mount (590m.a.s.l.), accessible through a paththat commences in Wulaia.Ponsonby bosom opens to the westsurrounded by the mountains ofthe Hoste island. Pacha andMascart islands highlight in thecenter. In the same axlepasturelands, butinvisible from this point is Wulaiaforests and the end of the path.The next 3,3 kilometers of thesection to the last descent in theforest over Wulaia at the foot ofthe path a wide valley opens whichshould follow to the sea, namelyto the west, keeping the left side(south) of the valley.From MILESTONE 12 followthe marks with south directionbeing careful with the loose rocksof this abrupt descent. 30 minutesof walking through the vegetationof diverse peat mosses is a stoneMILESTONE showingMILESTONE 13. The feet of theVrsalovic path on its south hillsideand a change of direction to the(southwest), where the descent ofthe valley begins until entering theforest.From MILESTONE 13, aseries of stone MILESTONES willguide your steps until crossing theriver. Then, although there are nomarks during half an hour, keepthe same direction between tinyareas of forest to the left (south)and the river which has just fordedat your right (north). Afterwards,high posts appear showing the roaduntil a descent, here a short forestsection crosses followed by thecrossing of the Matanza river. Ata few meters after fording the river,MILESTONE 14 indicates theentrance to a forest and thebeginning of the last section of thispath, which develops inside theforest and with a strong slopedownwards. Follow the marks fornot losing the track. One hour ofwalking and you will be at the exitof the forest. MILESTONE 15locates over a door gate forlivestock, 200 m through thepastureland having at sight the oldformer radio station from WulaiaFor all public.<br>

==WULAIA-MONTE KING SCOTT - Alternative Extension=First segment===

===Route description===As an extension of the PuertoNavarino – Wulaia circuit, this briefsection transits through one of themost marvelous beauties from Tierradel Fuego awaking the curiosity ofwalkers who arrive to Navarino island.You will reach the peak of the KingScott mount, a well'''PUERTO NAVARINO -knownMILESTONE of the trekking that isacceded in one day to enjoy the mostbeautiful panoramic views on thesouth of the Tierra del Fuego’sarchipelago.Its length is 9.3 Km, 3.30 hourswith a difficult level qualified as“moderately difficult” due to the climbto the peak from the southeast, beingan ascension easier than thevertiginous walls observed fromWulaia. The marking is equal than theone used in Puerto Navarino-Wulaia(a double red line on a rectangularwhite or red background) and thenumbering follows the correlativeorder.From the peak of the King Scottmount, you will have the opportunityto observe and discover, the geographybeyond the Murray channel. Thevision embraces an extension of 120Km from north to south and 90 Kmfrom west to east. The tour includesbeaches, beautiful coastal, interiorand height forests, large peat mossesand beavers’ habitat sectors.PUERTO ISORNA'''

The tour begins at the formerradio station from Wulaia(MILESTONE 10). Then you willcross a pastureland where you willnotice a number of large areas ofshells used by the route recovers an old Yámanasinhabitants as a shelter for wintertime. At the other end, a clear trackis distinguished horse trail that climbs the hillsideof a hillock. Follow this track andsurround the coast during 45 minutesuntil MILESTONE 11 located on atree at a few meters after a smallriver.The section betweenMILESTONE 11 and 12 (1.20 hoursof walking for 6 Km on an unevensurface of 340 m) allows to arrive toa higher plain surrounding the eastof King Scott mount. It is not aconstant slope, it appears in the formof steps. The climb towards thebeginning of the peak is strong, butshort: 160 m of unleveled surface in500 m (30 min. of walking). The last10 min. at the rocky part of the peakrequire precaution for the precipicethat opens at the west side (there isenough distance to keep far resulted from theprecipice).MILESTONE 11 indicates achange of direction to the east andthe start of the ascension to the feetof King Scott mount. You will passthrough small forests of Coigües andLengasinstallation, which will later lead to MataNegralate XIXth century, Calafate, Chaura and someisolated species of Notros andfirewoods.Follow the marks that cross asector of forest which slowly becomesmore clear until leaving vastpasturelands where Bulrush andFrutilla del Diablo develop first cattle settlements in the areasof highest humidity. After following ahillside through a well-marked trackisland,enter the forest again and follow withattention the marks showing a soonchange of direction to the right (south),facing in certain sections very inclinedslopes. The alternation of forests Liwaia andpeat mosses conclude then in a woodedhillock which suddenly offers a clearsight of the large upper plain at theeast of the King Scott mount.MILESTONE 12 locates on a treeat the edge of the forest showing theexit and the start of the plain beforethe ascension of the mount. King Scottmount elevates to the right. Itsproximity is real, but a deep streamand a sector of lagoons, invisible fromthere, do not allow to reach it instraight line.The forest of the hillock beforeMILESTONE 12 offers a good placefor camping with a rivulet at 100 m.Immediately after MILESTONE 12follow the series of posts crossing thepeat, which turn to the left. Do notenter forest sectors.Pay attention to the posts showingthe road, especially in the middle ofthe section dominated by bulrushes.The start of the valley that justifiesthis long detour to the left is at theright.By getting closer to King Scottmount, there is an opening of a plainwith lagoons and a spreading forestparticularly damaged by beavers andforcing to zigzag between theseobstacles. You should identify themarks leading to edges of the forest(MILESTONE 13), which covers thelast slope towards the peak of theKing Scott mount.This MILESTONE 13 on the edgeof the forest indicates the start of thefinal ascension to the peak that ismoderately difficult and depends onsoil humidity. Enter the forest and Ietyou guide by a particularly densemarking through a very inclined slope.In the event the soil is saturatedwith water, most abrupt sections arevery slippery and could cause seriousrisks of fall.Upon exiting the forest followthe tracks of the guanacos in themiddle of rocks to the right. A stoneMILESTONE shows the highest partof the peak of the King Scott mount(MILESTONE 14). Wind gusts couldbe very violent here. You should coveryour personal items (cap, gloves, evencameras, etc.) King Scott mount is afortress protected almost all along itsperimeter by vertiginous precipicesor deep streams.If you have reached the peak ofthe King Scott mount¡Congratulations! Now, enjoy thesight:- To the north and downwards Wulaia(the former radio station is in themiddle of the pastureland).- Following the coast to the north ofWulaia, the narrow entrance ofPuerto Inútil.- To the north of Puerto Inútil, a smallpart of the Beagle channel and atthe northern coast Ushuaia. Thehills behind Ushuaia are Martialmounts. Olivia mount is sharp andthe most elevated at the right ofUshuaia (1476 masl)- To the left of Puerto Inútil, thehighlighted Button island and at theeast 14 de Julio bay.- Immediately to the left of the Buttonisland the Murray channel thatseparates Navarino (to the east)island with Hoste island (to the west)is clearly observed.- Dumas peninsula starts from theHoste island to the left of the Murraychannel. On its south top, the closestto the King Scott mount you couldsee with binoculars a house at a fewmeters from the sea: It is Tasuani, anold estancia currently abandoned.- At the west you will see the openingof the Ponsonby deep bosom whichseparates Dumas (at the north) andPasteur (at the south) peninsulas fromHoste island. In the middle and atthe beginning you will still possible to observe firstthe Pacha island and a bit more tothe right the Mascart island.- The long Milne Edwards islandlocates in front remains of the snowy peaks ofthe Pasteur peninsula.- The most distant line of land that isnoticed to the south old and that hascontinuity with the Pasteur peninsulais the Hardy peninsula of the Hosteisland. Its location more to the southis called False Cape Horn.- Always to the south over the Navarinoisland the Tortuga mount highlightswith 836 m of height.- To the left, towards the horizon, youcould distinguish a thin line of landvery far behind: It is the north of thearchipelago of the Wollaston islands.Its last island to the south invisiblefrom here is the mythical Cape Horn.- To the left, returning to the Navarinoisland a mountain chain isdistinguished with north-south axle:They large fences or yards which are amazing for the Codrington mounts.- Short far away you could observe thesharp chain of Dientes de Navarino,at the back of Puerto Williams.- Near Wulaia you could distinguishthe Mladineo path and the descentof the Lum-Wulaia path on Wulaia.The peak is totally exposed to thegusts that could be very violent; youshould take that huge work needed for granted and takeall precautions.To return to Wulaia you shouldtake the same road. The start of thedescent is in the forest to MILESTONE13, try not to slide. From the peak ofthe King Scott mount to Wulaia consider2.45 hours of walkingtheir construction.<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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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=== '''PUERTO ISORNA - PUERTO INÚTIL'''  Description of the Section: After MILESTONE 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 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 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 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 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 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 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===  '''PUERTO INÚTIL-CALETA JOSÉ'''  After MILESTONE 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 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 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>  ===Fourth segment===  '''CALETA JOSÉ-WULAIA'''  This south direction segment starts in MILESTONE 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 8 - you will find Micalvi river, as well as MILESTONE 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 10, on a rock, will indicate that you have arrived to Wulaia. After MILESTONE 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 big grassy plain is perfect for camping everywhere. The only protection from wind is provided by the house. We recommend you to camp next to the house, but it is possible to stay at the grandiose abandoned building of the former naval radio station. South side door is opened. Go to the next door using north side stairs, and the first room to the left may receive travelers with some comfort: a table, chairs, and a metallic drum which may be used as a stove-heater. The building does not have rest rooms and water must be taken from the river. Before you leave, provide some firewood for the next visitors.<br>  ==PUERTO LUM - WULAIA==  ===Route description===  This circuit connects the shore of Beagle Channel and the north coast of Navarino Island, with Wulaia. It is 18.3 km long and requires 8 hr of continuous walk. It corresponds to the old trail to get to Wulaia and its relief is a long 6 hour rise from Lum to Mladineo passage (650 masl), and then, a 2 hour way down to Wulaia.<br>  Taking land configuration into consideration, the few good camping sites and walk times, we recommend you to travel this circuit in one day and a half. This circuit has two segments.<br>  The first segment lasts approximately 2 hours and 30 m and goes through large extensions of thickets and beautiful forests, where you will often find beaver's dams. You may enjoy gorgeous views of the Beagle Channel and Ushuaia.<br>  After an invigorating night under the shelter of the upper limit of the forest, starts the 5:15 hour long second segment. High vegetation suddenly disappears making way for high humid steppe almost free of trees. Soil is covered with different varieties of peat mosses blended to rush or gramineous species, or a number of outcrops of rocks, water, rivers or lagoons.<br>  Those who know how to observe and decipher nature will be amazed by the vigor of animal and vegetable life of the sector.<br>  In the highest part of the last segment, Mladineo passage crossing is incorrectly called “Andean desert”, where mineral is omnipresent. However, there are some discrete and fascinating manifestations of vegetation.<br>  From here, you will observe majestic views of the south-west of Navarino Island, Ponsonby gulf and mysterious Hoste island.<br>  In the last hour of walk, a high and very dense forest appears again as suddenly as it had disappeared at the beginning of the segment. When the route gets closer to the sea level, pasturelands and younger trees (patches planted with new shots) appear more frequently, remains of intentional burning at the end of the XIXth century, when sheep breeding was implemented in Wulaia to prepare prairies.<br>  Finally, Wulaia, the beautiful bay of the Yamanas, a place full of history and connected with the paths to the peak of King Scott mount or to Puerto Navarino through the enchanted shores of the west, both described in this topoguide.<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 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 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 6 (a site to camp in the forest) and 2.15 hours to Lum.<br>  ===First Segment=== '''PUENTE LUM-CAMPAMENTO''' 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 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 2 locates at the other side.<br>  This rivulet of crystalline water is the last of this type until MILESTONE 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 2 take a look at the marks that zigzag in the forest until seeing MILESTONE 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 4.<br>  MILESTONE 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 5 locates at the entrance on a tree. 20 minutes have elapsed from the previous MILESTONE.<br>  Between MILESTONE 5 and 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 6 on a tree.<br>  MILESTONE 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 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>  ===Second segment===  '''CAMPAMENTO-WULAIA'''  This section begins in MILESTONE 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 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 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 7. The walker should continue (south direction) through the posts with the same marks that have been followed until this point.<br>  After MILESTONE 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 8. From here, the land guide steps to MILESTONE 11. It is a path through a wide valley lacking of high vegetation and full of small lagoons, streams and beavers’ lagoons. From MILESTONE 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 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 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 10, where marks take their habitual frequency again.<br>  With direction to the feet of Vrsalovic mount you will leave MILESTONE 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 8 and the feet of Vrsalovic mount, a stone MILESTONE on the peak of a small hillock shows the position of MILESTONE 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 10.<br>  MILESTONE 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 11.<br>  MILESTONE 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 11 and 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 11, continue climbing through stone MILESTONES during 30 minutes following a south direction until MILESTONE 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 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 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 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 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 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 15 locates over a door gate for livestock, 200 m through the pastureland having at sight the old former radio station from Wulaia.<br>  ==WULAIA - MONTE KING SCOTT - Alternative Extension==  ===Route description===  As an extension of the PuertoNavarino – Wulaia circuit, this brief section transits through one of the most marvelous beauties from Tierra del Fuego awaking the curiosity of walkers who arrive to Navarino island. You will reach the peak of the King Scott mount, a well-known MILESTONE of the trekking that is acceded in one day to enjoy the most beautiful panoramic views on the south of the Tierra del Fuego’s archipelago.<br>  Its length is 9.3 Km, 3.30 hours with a difficult level qualified as“ moderately difficult” due to the climb to the peak from the southeast, being an ascension easier than the vertiginous walls observed from Wulaia. The marking is equal than the one used in Puerto Navarino-Wulaia (a double red line on a rectangular white or red background) and the numbering follows the correlative order.<br>  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 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 11 located on a tree at a few meters after a small river.<br>  The section between MILESTONE 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 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 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 12 offers a good place for camping with a rivulet at 100 m. Immediately after MILESTONE 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 13), which covers the last slope towards the peak of the King Scott mount.<br>  This MILESTONE 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 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> - To the north and downwards Wulaia (the former radio station is in the middle of the pastureland).<br> - Following the coast to the north of Wulaia, the narrow entrance of Puerto Inútil.<br> - To the north of Puerto Inútil, a small part of the Beagle channel and at the northern coast Ushuaia. The hills behind Ushuaia are Martial mounts. Olivia mount is sharp and the most elevated at the right of Ushuaia (1476 masl)<br> - To the left of Puerto Inútil, the highlighted Button island and at the east 14 de Julio bay. - Immediately to the left of the Button island the Murray channel that separates Navarino (to the east) island with Hoste island (to the west) is clearly observed.<br> - Dumas peninsula starts from the Hoste island to the left of the Murray channel. On its south top, the closest to the King Scott mount you could see with binoculars a house at a few meters from the sea: It is Tasuani, an old estancia currently abandoned.<br> - At the west you will see the opening of the Ponsonby deep bosom which separates Dumas (at the north) and Pasteur (at the south) peninsulas from Hoste island. In the middle and at the beginning you will observe first the Pacha island and a bit more to the right the Mascart island.<br> - The long Milne Edwards island locates in front of the snowy peaks of the Pasteur peninsula.<br> - The most distant line of land that is noticed to the south and that has continuity with the Pasteur peninsula is the Hardy peninsula of the Hoste island. Its location more to the south is called False Cape Horn.<br> - Always to the south over the Navarino island the Tortuga mount highlights with 836 m of height.<br> - To the left, towards the horizon, you could distinguish a thin line of land very far behind: It is the north of the archipelago of the Wollaston islands. Its last island to the south invisible from here is the mythical Cape Horn.<br> - To the left, returning to the Navarino island a mountain chain is distinguished with north-south axle: They are the Codrington mounts.<br> - Short far away you could observe the sharp chain of Dientes de Navarino, at the back of Puerto Williams.<br> - Near Wulaia you could distinguish the Mladineo path and the descent of the Lum-Wulaia path on Wulaia. The peak is totally exposed to the gusts that could be very violent; you should take that for granted and take all precautions.<br>  To return to Wulaia you should take the same road. The start of the descent is in the forest to MILESTONE 13, try not to slide. From the peak of the King Scott mount to Wulaia consider 2.45 hours of walking.  ==Recommendations=='''Basic:'''•*Try to do a tour in companyand well informed.•*Consider the duration ofsections so you are notcaught by night.•*Take into consideration thechanging weather conditions.*Move only through the marketroad.
