Torres del Paine route

Postby savenkov » Wed Jan 18, 2012 7:43 am

Hi guys,

I have a lot of mountaineering and some rafting experience, but neither did any packrafting nor travelled to Patagonia so far.

Next season I am going to make a packrafting trip around del Paine. I have sketched a route here: g.co/maps/ja4q5

Can you estimate its feasibility both from your packrafting experience and your knowledge about the location? I bet somebody already did something similar!

thanks in advance,
savenkov

We added a couple of days packrafting on the Rio Paine as part of the standard loop trek last year. Good fun but a few important portages. Looks like a good route you have planned. Wind on the flatwater portions could of course be an issue. Park rules could also be an issue.
