24-11-26 - 24-11-29 / 2,5 days / OH2-RR /Volker
An interesting hike dedicated to fauna.
Water: all spots reliable, some more, but minor, could disappear later in the year
I walked in the evening from Chacayes (5km from Coya in the direction of the Los Cipreses reserve) on MR H365 over the hill to Rio Cachapoal, hitchhiked the 5 km of OH2 on PR to the point, where OH 1 +2 turn to the left and follow Rio Claro de Cauquenes. Camp 0 on the orographically right bank (OH02a) high over the river close to a small Water channel. Great spot! (There are many more in this section, but probably many people on weekends, on a monday evening I was alone). Ford at 7.30 a.m. pretty difficult,
Later on all easy, gates and camp spots as described by Lilian. Kept dry feet at nearly all further fords.
The bush bashing section: I learnt from the bad experience of Matthias and Matthieu and sticked strictly to the trail, even when it seemed impossible to pass here - and was always rewarded by some meters of trail.
Camp 2 at 43.5/1177.
Rio Claro: Impossible to Cross (at leaste alone). I took the iron bridge 8km downstream (avoid to enter the territory with gates and fences, where the track files lead to the river, it‘s the place of a former bridge).
I didn‘t walk back upstream, but continued to the village Las Nieves, where I took the bus to Rengo and then to Chillan. Advised by Alexey I wanted to skip gpt 05-07 for now anyway and come back later in the Season, when fords are possible.
I was tempted to take OH03 at the puesto and spend a day for exploration into valley Baule without backpack, but decided to stick to RR, as OH03 later on has a ford of Rio Claro without the option of bypassing it with the 8km walk to the bridge. Someone should find out, if it‘s possible to get back from OH03 to RR without that ford.
