We marked few optional camps because there wasn't any waypoints (all flat, wind protected with water nearby):
-51.42383, -72.90185
-51.40169, -72.96401
-51.25507, -72.98694
In short- Beautiful section! Wild forest with a lot of purple mushrooms and psychodelic lichens! And a beautiful view of torres del paine ridge from afar after the pass.
Day 1- We started from Puerto Natales by ordering an Uber to Estancia Perales from the app. The driver told us he could not take us there because it's privet property, but he brought us half way on the MR (-51.352671,-72.396458) .
We crossed the fence, started walking and got lucky with a hitch we got after half an hour from the grandughter of a worker at Estancia Perales, That's why she had the keys for the gates and could drive there.
Right after Estancia Perales the bridge is broken so you have to ford the river. We forded a bit upstream, knee high. Walking the forest went slower then we expected because of slippery branches, mud, wetlands, and fallen trees
Camped at- (-51.27007,-72.533701)
Day 2- walked all day through the forest quite slow. Kept following the blue sticks.
Met Pierre-Marrie :) and also three other hikers that looked for an adventure after they got turned around at Torres Del paine for not having reservations for the "o". Slept right before the pass at (-51.235398, -72.589832) in a deserted camp from the old race.
Day 3 - walked up the pass. Views where incredible! Small Glaciers, lakes, and crazzzy wind! Didn't know it's possible to fall on the ground from wind- apparently it is, even with the heavy backpack! Probably 4 hours walk until we got to the next tree line- also a nice place to camp there.
We went on down until Rio Serrano. Took a hitch from the main road to the near by campsite- payed 30k clp for pitching our tent+warm showers+wifi+electricity.
Next morning we continued to Torres del Paine. We didn't look for resupply at Rio Serrano.
