*'''2024-01-27 29 to 2024-01-28 31 / 3 days / Hiking / SOBO / RR + 09A / Chris & Julia'''
Day 1: stayed in Antuco (Details in Log of section 8), took bus in the morning at 8:20 to Abanico and hitched from there a bit further until the track starts (off the MR). At the parque national checkpoint we had to explain a bit. It seems you should buy some ticket beforehand online. Since there was no internet reception, this was not possible on the spot. As we left for Trapa Trapa, they let us pass anyhow (we couldn't just pay in cash). The pass is really beautiful, last chance to get water is in the river one is loosely following, flowing on the right. Once it deviates, it becomes a bit dry until descending after the pass into the valley. The pass is super exckting exciting and beautiful. There we aimed for the marked campspot, that little cave next to the police, but were surprised to find a construction site short before. We talked to the owners, they are building a restaurant with campsite and are offering tours up vulcan antuco. They were super friendly, let us stay somewhere in the bush for free and were even allowed to use their cantine-bus for our meals, which was super nice to sit upright and less exposed :) we enjoyed that a lot. In the future they want to also rent ice gear to climb antuco from the southern side which is way less demanding.
Day 2: hiked along the MR, border control post manned, but not operating as a control post anymore. We weren't able to catch a ride for some time, but finally hitched the last 6km until the path splits off to the right. From there its mostly boring MR, some puestos, many not marked. Wanted to camp at marked Camp [XX], but there is a puesto now. We went a few hundred meter down the road and found a spot there, closer to the river.
