*'''25Jan2024 - 28jan2024 / hiking NOBO / RR (El Manso to Cochamo) / 3 days / Clara'''
From Cochamo to get to El manso, there is the bus - ferry (lake tagua tagua) - bus. First bus pass at Cochamo every day around 10am. It comes from Puerto Montt and Puerto Varas before.
First bus is 3k. Boat 1.3k. 2nd bus 500.
At El manso there are 2 little negocios. In front of the first one there is a cervecería with a nice terrasse, artisanal beer and wifi. Sadly it was closed on this super hot begining of afternoon !
There is an inconstant but working phone coverage there (entel).
Lago Vidal Gomez. Possible to ask at the camping to cross the lake by boat, Francisco do the traverse during summer. 35k that can be devided until 4 people. May make you pay less if he has to go to the other side anyway to get other people. The family here also sell good bread, vegetables, beers, sweets,...
Because of rainy night, I slept on the north side of the lake at the first house. Marguerita has a sort of barn where you can sleep/pitch a tent and also make fire (for 5k). Dry toilets and water.
Then trail was on better conditions than I expected.
Camp sites along lago grande are really nice.
Refugio El Arco is a really good shelter if bad weather (all in wood, nice roof, closing windows).
Between El arco and la junta very muddy trail but nothing impassable even after a rainy night. It just slow down a lot.
The valley is really nice.
La Junta - Cochamo : overrun +++.
There are multiple buses going back to Cochamo from the end of the trail
