Day 1
 
We continued directly from GPT24P, doing Option 2, i.e. crossing the lake arm diagonally to join RP. There was surprisingly no wind at all right at the bend and for the first ~2 km. Then the wind picked up again in westerly direction (coming from the west) and we started sailing. At the southward turn of the lake, wind increased a lot to ~40 km/h average and ~80-90 km/h gusts and turned to northerly wind (coming from the north) and pretty big waves (max 80 cm top to bottom, most 50-60 cm). One of them was so big that we had water pour over the front of our 2 person MRS Adventure X2 when going down the wave which was actually kinda scary. Overall we had our portion of adrenaline and at times we were scared of capsizing but nothing happened in the end. It was really exhausting though having to keep our boat aligned with the wind from the back. We didn't use our (makeshift tyvek groundsheet) sail since the winds were too strong. Meanwhile Antoine on his 1 person packraft (Kokopelli Rogue Lite) loved the surfing, with sail still on (sticks + jacket + IKEA bag attached to backpack at front), but constant attention required. We made it to the end of the lake where there are two campsites: Los Maitenes ([-42.89067, -71.61452]) and Las Rocas ([-42.88679, -71.60859]). The latter is much smaller, closer to the beach, has really nice and charming owners Miguel y Micaela, a nice hot shower, WiFi, is mostly solar powered and is 14'000 ARS per person and feels much more in the GPT spirit than the other, so we chose this one and spent two nice days of Christmas there. We got some additional food and drinks from their small store plus more from the shop in the other camping (fresh bread, gas canisters). The day after Christmas, they were extremely kind and took us all the way to Aldea Escolar in the morning so we could start the next section.

*'''2025-JANFEB-05 7 to 2025FEB-JAN-07 8 / 2 1.5 days / Hiking / SOBO / RR+OH (varVar. A, E, H, I, K, M, N, OJ) / Ivan, Jakub, Daniel, Martina''' A relatively simple and short section without major complications. For most of the route, we stayed on the RR. The exceptions were at the beginning, where we followed a gravel road until the junction [2.4/558], and between km 27.6 and 28.6, where we followed a path marked in OSM data. This proved to be a functional choice, except for one steep climb and a fence crossing. The last deviation from the RR was along Variant J, where we stayed on the MR instead of following a trail that looked overgrown. In general, most of the section follows roads that we would classify as minor roads, despite being marked as trails in the track files. We didn’t encounter any difficult bush bashing or major navigation challenges. CHALLENGES
A simple and short section through Los Alerces National ParkAfter the ford [8. Since we found 7/610], the park expensive and not particularly interestingtrail becomes somewhat unclear, we decided to pass through it as quickly as possiblemaking navigation slightly more difficult, mostly following PRbut it’s nothing too serious. A similar situation occurs around junction X [14.1/785].
Los Alerces National Park is home to the second-oldest trees The most common obstacles on the planetthis section were fences, which is why every foreign visitor must pay an entrance fee of around 20,000 ARS at the park gate (at approximately km [10.7]) for the first day, and 10,000 ARS for each additional day. Additionally, overnight stays are only allowed in paid campsites. Since we found it excessive to pay such fees just for walking on a gravel road, we looked for an alternative solution. After nearly an hour, the office staff called a park ranger, who, after we promised to sleep in a campsite, allowed us to pass through without paying what we considered an unreasonable amount. For this reason, we chose to follow PR as quickly as possible to exit the park as soon as we could. Apart from a few exceptions, we found the detours had to the trail unnecessaryclimb over multiple times.
BIVOUACING:At coordinates -43.00882, -71.57781 (km 16.5), there is a closed gate with a phone number to call for permission to pass through the property. We were unable to reach anyone, nor did we encounter anyone on-site. The next day, the landowner called us back and said we should have paid 4,000 ARS for crossing. However, since we were already far ahead, we didn’t pay anything.
Camping is only allowed in designated paid campsites. The campsites marked as "Free" in TF are mostly closed with a camping ban.WATER
WATER:Water is plentiful, with the trail crossing multiple small streams.
Since this section follows lakes for most of the way, water is abundant.RESUPPLY
RESUPPLY:Villa Futalaufquen has a small shop in the center at the beginning of the section. It mainly offers snacks rather than staple foods, but it’s possible to buy supplies for a few days, including bread.
Every campsite we passed had Aldea Escolar has a small tiny shop with basic food supplies. Since we needed a gas cartridge, fast foodwe hitchhiked to Trevelin, and WiFi, so carrying several days' worth of food is unnecessarywhere all necessary supplies are available.
