==Season 2023/24==
* 2024-20-23 to 2024-02-26 / 3 days / Hiking / SOBO /RR / Gerald
If you want you can go around the park entrance: go to the beach at Camping Puerto Cañero and follow the OSM trial.
All of the trails until Laguna Verde are officially closed. Either on the start or end (never on both.. doesn't make any sense) are signs stating that. Trails are in good conditions though, just some trees on the ground, but always with a path around. Mirador Laguna Verde is indeed nice! Aura Camp (-42.718615, -71.728694) is a bit more expensive but a lot nicer than camping Lago Verde. Restaurant is worth a visit, thanks Martin & Helen. The free campsites are still not allowed to use and i don't expect it will change at some point. They do check in the evening and ask where you gonna sleep. So either don't even try or come late.
All in all maybe worth it if you haven't seen Alerces. There are some nice spots on this section, but in general not too exciting. In the end walking on the stoney beach is quite tiring.
* From 2024-02-14 to 2024-02-15 // 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.
