==Season 2024/25==
* '''11Dec2024 - 15dec2024 / hiking SOBO / option 1 - RR - varE - RR - var H - RR - var L - RR / 5 days / Clara'''
83km VarL : end of laguna verde. Nice dry spot. Mosquitoes. (Could rejoin RR directly here the next day)
Fords : between 31 and 34. All went good, not much than mid thighs (I'm 1,57), low current (hot and dry during the last week).
At the really end there are 3 or 4 fences to cross that I found difficult and really not made for crossing here. Maybe it's a bit better with varS but still 2 to cross. Or maybe it's better to go directly straight down to the road and not turning left when descending on the dirt road but I didn't try.
Water : plenty except at the end. I think last on RR is water 87,6. Maybe it's possible if needed to ask some in the houses around 94 before going up to the ridge cause after there is none for sure.
* '''2024-Dec-08 to 2024-Dec-13 / 6 days / Hiking NOBO / RR + variant H / Sean & Neele'''
Water present at all markers and plenty more due to snow melt
We took variant H to avoid the aggressive dogs, was a little overgrown and lots of different trails to choose from but was fine.
Pass at 57.4km - snow present from around 1,850m and upwards but you can avoid most of it. The plateau also has snow but again is mostly avoidable. Entel signal on the pass. Camp 54.5 - horseflies started. We camped at 51.6km the ground is pretty wet at the moment so wasn't great. We would have continued to 47.5km in hindsight as the trail is decent so it wouldn't take long. Ford 45.4km crossed at 11 am about thigh deep (1.61m tall) no problem at all. Water : plenty except 41.4km - Entel signal. Camped at the southern endof Lake Mariñanqui where we met Clara :) it was very beautiful, some horseflies though. I think last Would not recommend northern end of the lake at this time. Tried to take variant C but it was too deep so went around on RR is . Fords 33.6km - 31.4km we did these in the morning and were surprised how deep they were. The water 87,6is quite calm though so was all fine. Maybe it's possible if needed Hotsprings 20.5km lower one is a nice temperature easily big enough to ask some sit in the houses around 94 before going up . Worth a look. The 1st one wasn't as warm. High section between 15km and 9km. Snow patches present above 1850m ish. Was all either avoidable or manageable. Staying close to the ridge cause after there is none for sureRR worked well. This strech was very very beautiful and should t be missed. Hot spring 11-02B warm not hot but very nice views Hot spring 11-01C buried under snow. Continued on to 11.
