* '''2025-FEB-19 to 2025-FEB-22 / 4 days / Hiking / SOBO / 01K + RR / Martin''' I went exploring Cascada Invertida in the morning and then started from there around noon. At first I wanted to hitchhike to Maule and start from there, but there were very few cars and nobody stopped. So I started from 01K. There is a gate and a guard as it’s some kind of construction site. It was difficult to explain to the guard what I want from him (I don’t speak Spanish), but eventually he got it and let me enter. This option is actually quite nice, gradually going up to a pass. And then down to a valley that was full of cows. The rest was mostly straightforward, but as usual, you always need to focus on what is the right path. First day I camped a 100 m before Camp [44.6/1604]. Second day I got to Carizales. The shop was empty, but I went to the nice holiday house next to it and the lady was there, sweeping. So she went to sell me stuff. I had enough food, so just bought Coke and a chocolate bar. I camped around km 81, right after the ford, next to the “road”. Good spot. Third day, I arrived at Irma’s in an hour. There were quite a lot of people. I bought cheese and bread. The section along Laguna del Dial was exhausting with constant up and downs. I camped a but up from the lake, at Camp [114.9/1727]. On the final day, I was hoping the trail would get better and better. And it did. Apparently people walk here, many foot steps. But only met a few people despite it being weekend. I got to El Ingles at 18:30, so decided to stay there and take the 7:30 bus all the way to San Carlos. The camp was 5000. The guy running the place was friendly and showed me a nice quite place in the camp. * '''2025-JAN-24 to 2025-JAN-28 / 4.5 days / Hiking / SOBO / RR / Elijah & Michael'''
The section went quickly with lots of 4x4 roads & moderate grades. The police in Carrizales guided us to a shop with limited but sufficient resupply, and heavily fruited plum trees lined the road into & out of the village. Irma sold us magnificent goat's cheese. Camping at Laguna Dial was a highlight.
