* GPT 27 and 28P/ Alto y Bajo Río Palena/ Packrafting Route / 2024 Jan-02 / 4 days / Jordan Jennings
The descriptions in the writings below are very accurate in describing Rio Palena. My only comment is to describe the rapids a little more - all but one rapid are class II wave trains - not complicated. The rapid shortly after the ferry at c 22km has more obstacles and requires the choosing of a “line”. Was not difficult.

I want to thank everyone who contributed to this article. All the information provided here was very useful to plan and prepare for the trip. As a packrafting beginner I absolutely loved this route. Here's a list of comments that might be useful to use as reference:
- We had 5 sunny and hot days with many moments of strong headwinds. Never underestimate how taxing is to paddle against the wind on a packraft, optimize your itinerary to paddle in the calmest moments of the day.
- It took us about 32 paddling hours for Palena to Port RMB.
- At the water level we had it was very easy to find a suitable camping spot along the whole river.
- Checking the tide charts was very useful to paddle with less effort on the last 25km to the sea.
- At the end, the normal route takes you through the [https://osm.org/go/MKFG_oRv?m= Garrao Canal] into the Pitipalena Estuary. We had a calm morning so we decided to continue on the Palena River, access a small canal east of the Isla de Boca and end up landing near [https://osm.org/go/MKFH5LAVg--?layers=N&m= "Mirador 2"]. From there we walked a trail that took us to the town in a little bit less than an hour.
