It’s truly an amazing hike, you’ll love it! One thing the rangers were telling us is that they sometimes close John Garner pass if the weather is really bad, so maybe keep an extra freeze dried in your pack in case you have to stay in Perros another day. They also sell chocolate, cookies, and cup o noodles there. As I recall, they take credit, but bring cash just in case. 🤙
Thanks for the tip! We are planning to take all of our own food to cut down on cost, so we will definitely have enough food on us! @@MiguelGomezMountainRunner
Amazing you video bring to me a lot of memories (nice ones)! I did the O between march and april and I got such a bad weather in the john gardner. When me and my partner arrived in Los perros, did start to snow in the camp site and all along the gardner passage. Was fun crossing deep snow, but also little scare because the pass is not even the middle of that day hahaha.
Wow, that sounds like a great adventure! It must have been really precarious coming down the other side in heavy snow. I was afraid we’d hit similar weather, but the morning of it cleared up and we got an amazing day.
This is a great video, thanks for sharing it! I'm planning to fastpack the O trek in November. Looks like you're a runner as well from your name here. Do you think you could've done the circuit in 6 days if you stayed in the tents they provide and rented sleeping bags?
Absolutely! For the most part, the terrain is not very difficult. The only part that could be hazardous is the descent from John Garner pass if you had to do that in rain or subfreezing weather. Just make sure you have shoes with an aggressive tread and sticky rubber (e.g., Vibram). But otherwise, if you’re not carrying a tent, bag, and sleeping pad, and just keep it light in the clothing (not sacrificing safety, should be a piece of cake. Though, I don’t know if they’ll let you do it in only 6 days. The min allowable might be 8 or 9 days. I also recommend staying in at least one of the refuges on the south side of the park. Pricey, but might be nice to get a break and have a hot shower. 😉 Also, you might want to watch Jeff Pelletier’s video. He fast packed the O recently.
Well, I’m not going to lie…it’s pretty high. And there are several of them you have to cross. However, they’re all made out of thick steel cable and very solid (though a bit shaky). 😅
No, I definitely recommend going on your own, as you’ll save $100’s if not $1,000’s (depending on how boojie you want it). However, their websites suck, and sometimes they’re nonfunctional, so it can be a real pain in the ass. Also, spaces fill up quickly, so you need to start early. I’d aim for shoulder season to have a better chance at choice spots. I’ll post the links that I used to book our trip. Hopefully they’ll work for you. 🤞

I love watching this! Brings back so many memories!
It was fun putting it together. Sorry it took 7 months! 🤦♂️
Amazing pictures, beautiful terrain. Spectacular adventure. You did it again.
It was an amazing place! I’m really glad I finally got to take this trip. 👌
great video! Brazil here
I’m doing the O in mid-March with a few folks and I’m so excited! Definitely hoping for weather like you had on John Gardner!

How high is that bridge at 18:20, really want to do this but I am a bit sketchy with heights 😂😂😂

How come you don't take me nice places like that to eat? Huh?
🤦♂️
On my bucket list. I had planned on going with a tour company, but it looks like it's not too difficult to do on your own ?
