RR until the bridge
Variant C
Variant D
Variant F
GPT06:
Option 02
“Natalie - Thomas” traverse
Option 03 (exploration and suggestions)
RR from approx X {06} [57.3/2073]
I published a detailed track on wikiloc with many photos and explanations:
https://www.wikiloc.com/hiking-trails/desolation-traverse-los-quenes-rio-colorado-descabezado-plateau-central-los-cipreses-164709363
Summary:
The famous gully “Cuesta La Hormiga” is not very difficult and pretty safe, the subsequent CC traverse is annoying.
Even if the bridge were in place, I think that our option (Variant C, Variant, Variant F/Variant D) is easier, more spectacular, safer and overall better than RR
Fording the Rio Colorado was very easy, less than knee deep.
We completed the “Avoid Don Victor” option for GPT06 without visiting Banos del Blanquillo, combining the “Natalie - Thomas” traverse with Option03. I can recommend after waypoint “Pass in the rock belt. Easy descent to Laguna Caracol” just descend west about 5-6 km to the lagoon not to miss this magnificent place.
Thanks to all folks who shared their information and suggestions!❤️
