Season Section Log
Not having much whitewater experience, I started 27P around km24, just west of the cable ferry. However, I was fine with the many rapids after that, so with hindsight I would have started from Palena. Each section took me about a day and a half for a total of just over three days. Apparently, the river was at a normal level for this time of year. It ran around 5-8kph for most of 27P and until about km40 of 28P, then maybe at 2-3kph thereafter. There were countless tree and rock hazards throughout, plus a number of whirlpools (often at sharp turns) - but I avoided all these without much trouble. As the river widened, I encountered fierce headwinds in several places, and a noticeable incoming tide toward the end.
At Raúl Marin Balmaceda, I took the 11 hour ferry to Puerto Cisnes (departs Thursdays and Sundays) which technically completed the section, in it’s its current form. The views were stunning.
