At Laguna Marinanqui the southern camp is better, even the meadows are full of shit everywhere, the sand is a bit cleaner, there is a fresh stream and the water not as shallow. It was really cold in the morning mid March, my towel and shoes hard frozen. Maybe better to camp a bit further away from the lake then I did (20m) end of seasion.
Camped where 03C endsOption 02A: closed gate with very muddy surrounding at -38.354982, connection to 02-71. There 164045 shortly after intersection with 02b start. I think 02b is blocked by a small stream and access fence. Anyway, just follow some path close to the river north of , it for some bathingleads to -38. I hidedmy tent behind some bushes around 20m away from the road355085, which has veeery little traffic-71. Still late night I woke up from some voices and torches. I guess reflectors pn my tent 164881 where reflecting the car lights even through the bushes. Anyway the people moved on after their curiosity was satisfiedfence can be climbed easily and afterwards return (might be a bit swampy) to 02.
I combined GPT 9 to 12route blocked by difficult fence at -38.396035, -71187372 but run out of food so I decided next to shorten GDP 12 by hiking it is an easy to Lonquimay after Laguna Marinanqui. I found plenty of Pinionesopen gate, but had not enough fueljust follow the path afterwards, leads you to a dirt road and cooking them over another easy to open fire in my tiny cooking pot gate, theres is annoying (did it twice)some agricultural storage and behind paths connects to regular 02A.

I guess reflectors on my tent where reflecting the car lights even through the bushes. Anyway the people moved on after their curiosity was satisfied. Next day I met the settler on the road, interrogating me a bit, but quickly turned friendly and gave his ok. Generally it is easier to camp anywhere north of settler 02A Fundo Rahue, afterwards there are lots of fences, it gets dry and dusty. Option 02: 100 to 200m north of the ferry on the eastern of Rio Bibio side seems a nice campspot. I combined GPT 9 to 12, but run out of food so I decided to shorten GDP 12 by hiking to Lonquimay after Laguna Marinanqui. I found plenty of Piniones, but had not enough fuel, and cooking them over open fire in progressmy tiny cooking pot is annoying (did it twice).
