*Reference times. The start time will be confirmed according to the time in advance you arrive to Puerto Williams and means of transport you use.
Day 1: Puerto Williams – Cerro Bandera – El Salto Lagoon (5 hours).
We will pick you up at your accommodation in Puerto Williams to take the vehicle that will take us to the start point of the trek. You will start walking up to 600 m of altitude, to the top of the Cerro Bandera. From that place, you will have a panoramic view of Puerto Williams and the Beagle Channel. Then, you will continue by the track of the Robalo River Valley to the El Salto Lagoon, where we will set our camp o rest this first day.
Day 2: El Salto Lagoon – Los Dientes Pass – Escondida Lagoon (6 to 7 hours).
You will start early the day having breakfast while dismantling the camp. Then, you will start walking up to the Primero Pass at 716 m of altitude. You will see the rock peaks while you keep going to the Australia Pass at 797 m of altitude. There you will be in the middle of the Dientes de Navarino Mountains, so then you can continue walking to the Los Dientes Pass at 765 m of altitude. From that place, if the weather allows it, you will see the Wallaston Islands, where is located the Cape Horn. From that point on, the weather turns into something even more unpredictable, so you will have to take the necessary safeguards even once the camp is set.
Day 3: Escondida Lagoon – Guerrico Pass – Martillo Lagoon (5 to 6 hours).
After breakfast, you will start the walk of the day, boarding the Escondida Lagoon by its left side to the south, following the river during a moment. Then, you will enter a valley where you will see the change of landscape and will see the El Ventarron Pass, so then you go into a forest and follow to the end of the valley. You will go up to the Guerrico Pass so you can have amazing views and continue walking around the Hermosa Lagoon until reaching a drain. From that point on you will walk to the north inside a forest to arrive to the Martillo Lagoon, where we will rest this third day.
Day 4: Martillo Lagoon – Guanacos Lagoon (7 hours).
As already is usual, you will start the day with breakfast, so then you will start walking. You will leave the Martillo Lagoon to the Rocallosa Lagoon until seeing a big white rock that marks the path. From that point, you will see the Virginia Pass to the north, place that you will reach going up and watching the landscape change. If the weather is good, you will be able to see the Darwin Range snow peaks, Ushuaia, and the Beagle Channel. You must know that this part of the track is through an unstable snow ledge over a 300-meter cliff, so you have to be careful and follow the guide’s instructions. Moreover, you have to be careful with the wind because it is very strong in this part of the circuit. You will spend the night inside a forest near the Guanacos Lagoon.
Day 5: Guanacos Lagoon – Puerto Williams (5 hours and a half).
You will start early that day with breakfast so then start walking to the Beagle Channel, following the path to a forest damaged by beavers. You will cross a high forest and, from that point on, you will go to the north following a marked trail, then through the calafate bushes, until see the constructions of the MacLean Fishing Company. In that point, you will take the vehicle to arrive to Puerto Williams and end the journey.
