trip report by BestHike editor Rick McCharles
Tourists visiting weird, wonderful and remote Caleta Tortel all climb up to the viewpoint above town. And back down the same way.
It’s great. But the best hike is to do the entire circuit. I used the Maps.me app for navigation. Google Maps offline doesn’t have it.
Parts of the route are muddy. Be warned.
Weather was surprisingly good. But since this is Patagonia, I carried my rain gear.
You walk a LOT of boardwalk, some of it slippery when wet.
The trail trail is well signed.
There’s a steep sidetrip down to the Baker River too, if you are keen.
The town signage indicates it could take 2 hours for the circuit. I’d estimate a minimum of 3 hours. It might take four.
