==Season 2023/24==
From 2024-01-31 to 2024-02-01 // 2 days // Hiking // NOBO // RR // Quentin Clavel
This section begin with 30 km on the heavy carretera austral, and finish with 50 kilometers on a gravel road to reach La Tapera.
After the carretera austral, you'll be happy to find a less crowded, more quiet and natural path, without asphalt.
Surrounding are nice, nothing more to add except that I can't wait to find back the cute and remote tracks of Patagonia ! I even miss bush bashing... Imagine ! 😂
KM 18,35, Next to punte Torcaza, on the curve, big space for camp with nice scenery, flying fish everywhere, you can be seen from the road, but not a lot of people are passing threw. Few kind locals are fishing around, Carabineros passed by and said hello to me, so no troubles to stay there.
Arriving in La Tapera. I slept in hospedaje María, 15K CLP for a room, clean baños, good WiFi, nice people. Cabanas are possible too here.
Happy to find accomodation, options to resupply and a place with completos, sandwiches in this little town to resupply. (Having cash money is essential there !).
==Season 2022/23==
*General information Recommendation:You can walk either direction but SOBO is a bit easier as it's downhill
You can walk either direction but SOBO is a bit easier as it's downhill
*2023-Mar-18 to 2023-Mar-19 / 2 days / Hiking / SOBO / RR / Martin & Helena
A little more than we expected, there are some nice spots on the way, like Laguna Las Torres.
*2022 19 Nov Frank 2.5 days SOBO
La Tapera has two small shops & at least one hospedaje, all on or near the plaza.
Hospedaje María was nice, great people, 15K CLP for a room, but they have cabanas too if needed more privacy. There's at least 2 other options in this little town.
Food resupply in La Tapera, few minimarket. The one near the plaza central accepting CC, all the other only cash.
Possibility to eat at La Pica de la Doña tapera (sandwichs, completos, papas fritas, pichangas, churrascos ...) -44,6468155, -71,6694500
*You could camp at the small car park at Laguna las Torres. Several KM further south on the Carratera Austral is Camping La Zaranda $ new, cafe & cheap camping in little huts, you could sleep in them without a tent also.
