The 18.6 km and one day duration Wulaia – King Scott mount extension (from and to Wulaia) provides an opportunity to easily reach the lonely peak on the shores of the sea that is crowned at 600 meters of altitude. The panoramic view provided over Tierra del Fuego archipelago will leave unforgettable memories.<br>

==PUERTO NAVARINO - WULAIATrack 1==

Leaving Puerto Navarino behind, walk 40 minutes through thickets of Mata Negra and Calafates to a wide plain covered with grass. Liwaia is located on the shores of the rivulet, as well as MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 1,2 / Guidepost 1,2|GUIDEPOST 1]], 1,636 m from Puerto Navarino. A beautiful peninsula is detached in this sector over Beagle Channel.<br>

From MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 1,2 / Guidepost 1,2|GUIDEPOST 1]], keep going by the pastureland to the west until starting a soft decline to a beach. To the left (south), there is a stake indicating one of the many trails that get into the thicket sector. Follow the trail marked by animals and do not get away from the coast. 40 minutes later, you will fond the remains of an old fence made of trunks that ends in the sea. 60 metros before reaching the sea, you will find MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 1,2 / Guidepost 1,2|GUIDEPOST 2]], a stake attached to the fence that indicates the end of the thicket and the entry to the forest. From here, follow the stakes that mark a zigzag route until arriving to a high forest.<br>

After MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 1,2/ Guidepost 1,2|GUIDEPOST 2]], keep going by the line of stakes that zigzags among small forests before getting into their luxuriant growth. From the vegetational point of view, this is a very attractive segment for its individuals of Notros, Lengas, Cinnamon trees, a shrub-like stratum of high development with representation of Calafates, Sarsaparillas, Michay and Species of Myrtle.<br>

Openings and forests go one after the other until a brief descent to a beach covered by pasturelands and shelly deposits, at the height of a tiny woody that protrudes to Murray channel. Follow the pastureland to the south and after a brief passage by the forest, to a place known as Puerto de Hambre: MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 3,4 / Guidepost 3,4|GUIDEPOST 3]]. This is a gorgeous place to camp, although water is scarce in the summer.<br>

From MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 3,4 / Guidepost 3,4|GUIDEPOST 3]], go to a mark located in the other end of the small pastureland to get in the forest. After several ups and downs, alternating forests and beaches, even a stony sector where attention must be paid so as not to fall down, you will arrive to a huge plain of grass on the shores of the sea. This is Puerto Isorna. The start is MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 3,4 / Guidepost 3,4|GUIDEPOST 4]], a beautiful beach and a great place to camp, although it lacks of trees protecting from the rain. We recommend you to install the camp near the MILESTONE, on the brink of the forest, in the sector of the bonfire. The river that flows into the sea, to the south of the MILESTONE, will provide abundant water. To enjoy charms of Murray channel coast, when you walk by the surroundings, you will see spectacular views of the channel. A splendid mirador is located at one hour from Puerto Isorna in the following position of coordinates UTM 542962 E and 3908925 N.<br>

Description of the Section: After MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 3,4/ Guidepost 3,4|GUIDEPOST 4]], cross the entire extension of the pastureland and wade through the river near its outlet into the sea. When you find the lowest water depth (in case of high tide, surround the hill to the inland and cross the river in the forest). At the opposite shore, climb some meters straight before turning to the left (east), turning your back to the sea.<br>

After two hours of an exhausting climbing, you will be happy to arrive to a forest free plain: here, you will find MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 5,6,7 / Guidepost 5,6,7|GUIDEPOST 5]], hanging from a tree, near a clearing, indicating proximity to a great camping site, in the shores of Represa lagoon.<br>

After MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 5,6,7 / Guidepost 5,6,7|GUIDEPOST 5]], the route still has a zigzag shape through a dense forest. Therefore, pay attention to the continuity of the intense marking characterizing the sector. You will finally arrive to the last segment of a long climbing and you will start going down to Laguna del Medio, that have to be surrounded by the right side (south), without getting close to the shore. Before reaching its south-east end, you will encounter MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 5,6,7 / Guidepost 5,6,7|GUIDEPOST 6]].<br>

After MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 5,6,7 / Guidepost 5,6,7|GUIDEPOST 6]], keep going by the south hillside of the valley that goes down to Puerto Inútil. Pay attention so as not to miss the track. South-east direction before changing again the course to the east during the last 30 minutes of walk. After having walked for 2:30 hours, you will get to the shore of a river, 50 m away from its outlet into the sea. MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 5,6,7 / Guidepost 5,6,7|GUIDEPOST 7 ]] is on a highlighted tree, indicating arrival to the coast by a deep sea arm called Puerto Inútil. This is the only camping site in the sector. Do not cross the river in MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 5,6,7 / Guidepost 5,6,7|GUIDEPOST 7]], turn to the right, getting close to the beach, where you will quickly arrive to a sector covered with grass that contrasts to the forest. At the upper part of the pastureland, in the middle of shelly deposits, there are a number of sites where you can install your tent. There are small sites near the forest, but the land is usually saturated with water.<br>

<span style="color:red">Walk by trail and land made up by pasturelands, forests, and peat mosses. For all public. Medium difficulty level. [[File:wulaia-d3a.jpg|thumb|right]] After MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 5,6,7 / Guidepost 5,6,7|GUIDEPOST 7]], turn to the right and cross the river. This is the toughest section of the segment. Keep walking by the coast of Puerto Inútil to Caleta José (MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 8/ Guidepost 8|GUIDEPOST 8]]). The route becomes rough with steep slopes and a lot of turns intended to avoid the most difficult parts formed by streams flowing into the sea. Pay attention to marks so as not to miss the trail. Warning: slippery floor when too humid or wet. Once you get closer to Caleta José (MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 8 / Guidepost 8|GUIDEPOST 8]]), terrain becomes easier, a more open forest and a better trail. This MILESTONE is located at the beginning of the clear plain and indicated the beach of Caleta José.<br>

This south direction segment starts in MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 8 / Guidepost 8|GUIDEPOST 8 ]] and surrounds a magnificent coast most of the time. After leaving the camp, climb the hill to the right and follow the marks and stakes that will guide you through a small thicket of mata negra. A trail may be observed in the floor, which has to be followed to Wulaia, always bordering the coast. One hour away from Caleta José - MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 8 / Guidepost 8|GUIDEPOST 8]] - you will find Micalvi river, as well as MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 9,10 / Guidepost 9,10|GUIDEPOST 9]], in its north shore, which has to be crossed carefully. If the river is too swift, and crossing becomes extremely difficult, we recommend you the foot or peak of the stream following animal trails that mark a safer ford. From the sea, you can admire the beautiful cascade that rises a few meters down the circuit.<br>

MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 9,10/ Guidepost 9,10|GUIDEPOST 10]], on a rock, will indicate that you have arrived to Wulaia. After MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 9,10 / Guidepost 9,10|GUIDEPOST 10]], cross Matanza river, at the outlet to the sea, and you will find thus the great plain of Wulaia, with a majestic view to the building of the old navy radio station.<br>

==Track 2=='''PUERTO LUM - WULAIA== '''

It is important to state that between MILESTONES [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 4,5,6 / Guidepost 4,5,6|GUIDEPOST 6 ]] and 14, the land is apt for camping, the rest is saturated with water and there is no shelter against wind or rain. In consequence, the only appropriate site for camping is at MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 4,5,6 / Guidepost 4,5,6|GUIDEPOST 6]].<br>

Finally, walkers who want to run this circuit in the opposite way of the description – from Wulaia to Lum should consider that the relief configuration favors it: the climb from Wulaia to the Mladineo path has a duration of 2.30 hours and the descent to Lum will only take 4.30 hours. The total walking is 7 hours allowing to execute the road in only one day. Otherwise, count 4.45 hours from Wulaia to the MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 4,5,6 / Guidepost 4,5,6|GUIDEPOST 6 ]] (a site to camp in the forest) and 2.15 hours to Lum.<br>

After 150 meters there The start is a high forest where marks show the start long way up from Lum ranch, passing by upper valleys of a well-marked track on the floorisland. 20 minutes after a rivulet affluent of Lum river crosses the road. MILESTONE 2 locates at the other side.<br>

This rivulet of crystalline water is the last of this type until MILESTONE 6 (2 hours more)[[File:wulaia-tramo2-d1a. In the rest of the section there are lots of rivers or rivulets, but with very turbid water (as a consequence of beavers and the peat). After MILESTONE 2 take a look at the marks that zigzag in the forest until seeing MILESTONE 3 on a tree marking the provisional finish of the forest and the entrance to a large underbush of Mata Negra and Calafate of onejpg|thumb|right]][[File:wulaia-tramo2-meter height by reaching the next MILESTONEd1c.<br> jpg|thumb|right]]

A very well-marked track follows the course of the The bridge over Lum riverand the neighboring homonymic estancia locate at 35, which runs to 5 Km at the right (west). A large isolated forest area shows from Puerto Williams, which could be reached through the angle formed by the river to the right.

In the rest of the section there are lots of rivers or rivulets, but with very turbid water (as a consequence of beavers and the peat). After [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 1,2,3 / Guidepost 1,2,3|GUIDEPOST 2]] take a look at the marks that zigzag in the forest until seeing [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 1,2,3 / Guidepost 1,2,3|GUIDEPOST 3]] on a tree marking the provisional finish of the forest and the entrance to a large underbush of Mata Negra and Calafate of one-meter height by reaching the next MILESTONE .<br>  A very well-marked track follows the course of the Lum river, which runs to the right (west). A large isolated forest area shows the angle formed by the river to the right. Follow this direction to the posts signaling [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 4,5,6 / Guidepost 4,5,6|GUIDEPOST 4]].<br>  [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 4,5,6 / Guidepost 4,5,6|GUIDEPOST 4 ]] shows a drastic change of direction and the abandonment of the track. In spite the fact the track goes straight, it is necessary to turn to the left (south), following the prominent posts from the underbush. Spines of Calafate and the absence of a marked track difficult the path, but it is a short section.<br>

After this large forest area you go through a short clear section before penetrating a large forest. MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 4,5 ,6 / Guidepost 4,5,6|GUIDEPOST 5]] locates at the entrance on a tree. 20 minutes have elapsed from the previous MILESTONE.<br>

Between MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 4,5 ,6 / Guidepost 4,5,6|GUIDEPOST 5]] and [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 4,5,6 / Guidepost 4,5,6|6]], pay special attention to marks. The road zigzags through the forest with no marked track on the floor with general direction to the south and mostly in ascention. After one hour of walking, numerous rivulets and beaver’s habitat sectors are crossed to finally find MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 4,5,6 / Guidepost 4,5,6|GUIDEPOST 6 ]] on a tree.<br>

MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 4,5,6 / Guidepost 4,5,6|GUIDEPOST 6]] states the only site apt for camping at about one hundred meter from the final exit of the forest. It is important to consider that from MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 4,5,6 / Guidepost 4,5,6|GUIDEPOST 6 ]] to Wulaia (at 11.5 Km or 5.30 hrs. after walking) the land is not apprpopriate for camping due to the absence of forest or natural shelter against wind or rain. In addition, the soil is saturated with water or rocks.<br>

As an extension of the PuertoNavarino – Wulaia circuit, this brief section transits through one of the most marvelous beauties from Tierra del Fuego awaking the curiosity of walkers who arrive to Navarino island. You will reach the peak of the King Scott mount, a well-known MILESTONE of the trekking that is acceded in one day to enjoy the most beautiful panoramic views on the south of the Tierra del Fuego’s archipelago.<br>

===First Segment=== The tour begins at the former radio station from Wulaia (MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 10,11,12 / Guidepost 10,11,12|GUIDEPOST 10]]). Then you will cross a pastureland where you will notice a number of large areas of shells used by the old Yámanas inhabitants as a shelter for winter time. At the other end, a clear track is distinguished that climbs the hillside of a hillock. Follow this track and surround the coast during 45 minutes until MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 11 / Guidepost 11|GUIDEPOST 11 ]] located on a tree at a few meters after a small river.<br>

The section between MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 11 / Guidepost 11|GUIDEPOST 11]] and 12 (1.20 hours of walking for 6 Km on an uneven surface of 340 m) allows to arrive to a higher plain surrounding the east of King Scott mount. It is not a constant slope, it appears in the form of steps. The climb towards the beginning of the peak is strong, but short: 160 m of unleveled surface in 500 m (30 min. of walking). The last 10 min. at the rocky part of the peak require precaution for the precipice that opens at the west side (there is enough distance to keep far from the precipice).<br>

MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 11 / Guidepost 11|GUIDEPOST 11]] indicates a change of direction to the east and the start of the ascension to the feet of King Scott mount. You will pass through small forests of Coigües and Lengas, which will later lead to Mata Negra, Calafate, Chaura and some isolated species of Notros and firewoods.<br>

MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 12 ,13,14 / Guidepost 12,13,14|GUIDEPOST 12]] locates on a tree at the edge of the forest showing the exit and the start of the plain before the ascension of the mount. King Scott mount elevates to the right. Its proximity is real, but a deep stream and a sector of lagoons, invisible from there, do not allow to reach it in straight line.<br>

The forest of the hillock before MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 12 ,13,14 / Guidepost 12,13,14|GUIDEPOST 12]] offers a good place for camping with a rivulet at 100 m. Immediately after MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 12,13,14 / Guidepost 12,13,14|GUIDEPOST 12 ]] follow the series of posts crossing the peat, which turn to the left. Do not enter forest sectors.<br>

By getting closer to King Scott mount, there is an opening of a plain with lagoons and a spreading forest particularly damaged by beavers and forcing to zigzag between these obstacles. You should identify the marks leading to edges of the forest (MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 12,13,14 / Guidepost 12,13,14|GUIDEPOST 13]]), which covers the last slope towards the peak of the King Scott mount.<br>

This MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 12,13 ,14 / Guidepost 12,13,14|GUIDEPOST 13]] on the edge of the forest indicates the start of the final ascension to the peak that is moderately difficult and depends on soil humidity. Enter the forest and Iet you guide by a particularly dense marking through a very inclined slope. In the event the soil is saturated with water, most abrupt sections are very slippery and could cause serious risks of fall.<br>

Upon exiting the forest follow the tracks of the guanacos in the middle of rocks to the right. A stone MILESTONE shows the highest part of the peak of the King Scott mount (MILESTONE [[Hitos Wulaia#Hito 12,13,14/ Guidepost 12,13,14|GUIDEPOST 14]]). Wind gusts could be very violent here. You should cover your personal items (cap, gloves, even cameras, etc.) King Scott mount is a fortress protected almost all along its perimeter by vertiginous precipices or deep streams.<br>
