Bus to Osorno and Entre Lagos as well leaves early in the morning around 7 AM we think but rather ask.
* 28.01.23 - 30.01.23 2023 / Yannic Anna & Mirjam/ NorthboundChristopher Hitchhiking From Panguipulli we took a bus at 8:40 am to Rininahue went quite well once you are Los Lagos (on a thursday). From there we took another bus to Paillaco at 11:30 am and got off at the cruce Reumén/Futrono. The connecting bus to Futrono passed there around 12:20 pm. From Futrono we took a bus to Llifén at 13:15 pm. From there we hitchhiked until the junction of Option 2 with the bigger Minor Road T-851RR at km 37 approx.

From there we were quickly able to hitch a ride to Lican which is the start of the minor road. It's a couple of kilometres before Anticura. It would also be possible to walk, from Puyehue to Lican is about 10 km.
*2020 / Arnaud Debilly
To avoid the 15 first kilometers we took the bus from puerto Maihue to Rupumeica Bajo.
* 2020-Feb-19 / Martina & Ivo / Regular route southbound (start: km 37, end: Anticura)2.5 days. Actually we wanted to hike from Riñinahue, so we took a random Bus in Osorno (09:20) to Río Bueno, where there was a connecting Bus to Lago Ranco, where there was another connecting Bus to Riñinahue, and this one continued - to our astonishment - to the bridge over Río Nilahue, where the optional route meets the regular route. *2021-Dec-19 / Molly and Melissa / GPT21 Northbound - RR + ascent of summit:Rio Hueinahue:We were able to cross the river without problems, it went to mid- thigh height and we are both around 160 cm tall. The current wasn't too strong either. We have had quite a few warm, dry days before.
On the road along the lake we were passed by a bus going to Valdivia which we jumped on happily, so coming off the trail could not have been easier. It passed through Maihue and Futrono as well.
