Itinerary description

Show original

Beautiful hike to the edge of the Pacific in a secondary forest but with a lot of very big and powerful tree. These forests are unique, very different from the forests of Europe or eastern America.
The path goes up and down almost all the time, it is often muddy and slippery. It's not a walk to the beach.
I scored the points by hand roughly in wikiloc. in fact the hike is 30km, not 20! we did it in two nights, three days.
Then we hitched back to the campsite to the car. We waited a good while before being hitched.
the entire trail is 47km long. it takes three nights, four days of walking.
Here you find the trail map:

you have to pay in advance by internet for camping nights.

to get there we rented a car, but there are also shuttles from Vicroria, quite expensive.
