==Season 2023/24==
From 2023-02-14 to 2023-02-15 // 2 day // Hiking // NOBO // VARIANT O, N, M, L, J, A + RR // Quentin Clavel
I came from GPT 25, and I followed the RR, it allows you to avoid the entrance, so I haven't paid, and had no check from guardaparque inside the NP.
I skipped the cross country parts at the beginning of the section, because it looks more like follow the lake on the sandy beach, so I decided to stay on the ruta provincial. It's an asphalt road until PK52,5, then it's a gravel road.
I think the attraction rate is a bit rude with this section that deserves more than a 1/5. I had great time along all these lakes !
Following the Lago Futalaufquen, easy walking, some cars, but I was expecting much worse as we're in the high season.
From PK 46,8, I followed the well marked Huella Andina, then I didn't had to look at the GPS, because the itinerary (mostly the same as RR) is very well indicated with the blue/white mark. I just skipped the last section because the trail was closed, so I followed the gravel road (Variant A).
Best of this section :
- The Mirador Lago Verde, PK29,71 (variant F)
- The Mirador glaciar (not marked as an option, but worth it imo : at PK33,3 take the passerelle over Rio arrayanes, then there's a marked loop of around 3,5km, near Puerto chucao, there's an access to the beach, where you have a stunning view on glaciar Torrecilla). I arrived late and slept there, there's some tipi made from woods that have been built on the beach, amazing night !
- Point of view of the whole valley, with a view on Lago Verde, Lago Menéndez and the glaciar, near PK 36,81, on the variant J (follow the Huella Andina).
It was so hot during this section I was so happy to have all the lakes around me to take some fresh swim breaks !
The camping yapay peni (PK19,67) seems very cool!
Resupply possible at villa lago Rivadavia. The minimarket "La Negra" at the exit of the village has some basics and accept CC !
I stopped at the establishment "Cerro Là MoMA" in the center, wich is a cozy restaurant, I got very good empanadas here, possible to have some more choice of foods and sleep in cabanas.
