| + | |||
| + | Nice and easy section, very much welcome after the quite demanding GPT27. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Most of the trail is on clear dirt, forestry road, or small trail, that are pretty enjoyable to follow. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Good section if you want to improve your jumping fence skills. I stopped counting after 15 jump over fence/gate. | ||
| + | |||
| + | I've seen two kind settlers on a pickup, they were a bit surprised to see me there, but very sympathic, nice talk, and no problem at all to continue on my way. | ||
| + | |||
| + | To see the into the wild bis, just follow the Variant D. | ||

| + | |||

| + | |||
| + | The rest are small fords, or rivers with bridge/passerelle. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The variant D is the alternative route, a small detour from the RR to see the "Into the wild" bus. Not sure it worth the detour. Just an empty burnt bus. | ||

| + | * '''2022-Nov-15 / 4 days / Hikig / SOBO / RR /Frank''' | ||
| + | |||
| + | I walked the route in 2 separate sections (total 4 days walking) as follows: | ||
| + | 15 Nov Aldea Escolar to the international road & hitched to Trevelin. | ||
| + | 16 Nov I got the bus from Trevelin to Carrenleufu & walked to Palena on the road. | ||
| + | In January I walked the central section: international road to Carrenleufu in 2 days | ||
| + | |||
| + | From Aldea Escolar you are on the Huella Andina (occasional blue & white marks) which follows a gravel road & then a 5KM trail to reach the international road. The trail was partly flooded (knee deep swampy water) & even the gravel road before the international road had some flooded parts so I decided to leave the central section until later in the season. | ||
| + | |||
| + | In January I walked from international road: you are on roads & on the Huella Andina for the first several KM, then went right onto another road to see the Into the Wild bus. Rejoined RR easily on road after the bus. After the second river crossing I went straight ahead on alternative route (there is a small trail) It led to a puesto with a horse corral. There was no one there & puesto was locked, I camped outside. The puesto is dry, bring water from the river. On the second day, going downhill & approaching a puesto, the RR leaves the road & goes through fences into the puesto. It's much better to stay on the road which goes around the puesto. RR leads back to the road after going through several fences. River crossings easy in January. Argenchile hospedaje was full but there are a few others in Carrenleufú. They are mostly unmarked so ask around. Walked to Chilean border post then hitched to Palena. | ||

| − | + | Very easy section. The only thing is that you have to cross many fences, some of them were cadenassed, which means that most of these lands should be private. I saw nobody so, I didn't have any problems. | |
| − | + | I started from Futaleufu cause I was coming directly from GPT71. So, I started on the main road. Few cars. | |
| + | Easy border crossing. | ||
| + | The main part of the trail is made of minor roads in the middle of a forest, which appeared to be "open sky" compared to the Valdivian one! | ||
| + | |||
| + | Nice section even if not as scenic as the previous ones. I guess this is the "minor road effect"! The last day, before arriving in Carrenleufú, was better. Very nice view of the mountains and on the valley. And I loved the last forest, which I guess was a lenga forest. These trees are beautiful, and waving with the strong wind! | ||
| + | |||
| + | Convenient hospedaje in Carrenleufú in the center = Argenchile. Ask and you will find it. There is a shop also. I paid 15000 CLP (they accepted CLP!) for the dinner, the night, the breakfast... and 2 beers and one icecream that I took directly from the shop! | ||
| + | |||
| + | Border crossing on the other side was also easy. Ending on the main road, with very few cars. I found it very nice to get back slowly i' the middle of the high mountains in Palena. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * '''2020-Jan-18 to 2020-Jan-20 / 3 days / Hikig / SOBO / RR /Shaun''' | ||
| + | |||
| + | I found this section straightforward and pleasant. Much of it was through woodland on clear dirt roads or trails, and there were many spectacular views. The river crossings were fine - there had been no rain for several days - and the highest only briefly reached lower thigh. The “Into-The-Wild”-like abandoned bus is around Km20 at -43.25877 S, - 71.60910 W on Oh-Mr-V@26-B-#001, which is close and parallel to the regular route. The Chilean customs officials were vigilant regarding what food I was bringing in. The last 16km are on road. | ||
