Itinerary suggestions\ Caterra Austral Questions
I am currently in Calafate and will be heading soon to Torres del Paine for a circuit trek. I am traveling on a Honda nx 400cc Falcon. I would like to go to Ushia if possible and would like to do the Caterra Austral as well. I am a little worried due to the lateness of the season. I should be doine with my Paine circuiut trek around the 3rd of April. I would rather give up on Ushia than give up on the Catarra Austral if need be. Any adivice as to itinerary or route selection would be appreciated.
1. Will it be too cold to head to Ushia at this point (april 3rd)? I am fairly well equipped with a down coat and decent gloves and gortex.
2. How late in the year is it possible to do the Caterra Austral?
7. What can I expect from weather as far as rain\snow\temps in mid April on the Caterra Austral, Ushia?
4. How late in the year can I expect ferry service on the Caterra Austral?
5. How much does the ferry cost with a moto on the Caterra Austral? Where is best to catch it?
6. If the ferry has quit running, can I still exit to Argentina via passes like at Fautalafu in the winter? Do the passes to Argentina close for the winter? Could I end up getting stuck with my moto and no possible exit route?
7. What is the best place to enter from Argentina to the Carterra Austral, Tres Lagos?
8. On the Caterra Australn is it worth going all the way to the South to Villa Higgins?
9. On the Caterra Austral Is it worth going all the way to the North to Calata Gonzolo?
10. If I go to Ushia waht is the best way to cross the strait on Malgenan? How much would it cost?
11. Anyone care to join me?
Thanks for the advice,
Neal
