==Season 2024/25==
'''2025-Jan-31 to 2025-Feb-02 / 3 days / Hiking / SOBO / option 2p, Var f., RR / Nimrod & Tamar
'''
We took the bus from Coyhaique at 9:00. It took about 1.5 hours, cost 10,000 clp each.
The trail from Los Horquetas was well maintained. There were a few small fords along the way.
Camped at Rio Tirbio with 10 more people.
We left our bags and went to Laguna peñon and back, about 2 hours detour. The trail to the lake is marked well. The Laguna was quiet small and had milky color from the melting glacier.
2nd day:
The accent to the pass and the descent were pleasant. A little after the pass a lot of little waterfalls from melting glacier- very beautiful!
We took a detour to the unnamed Laguna using Lilian's directions.
The CC to the lake is not marked but it wasn't hard to get there. Took us about half an hour to the lake. The laguna Had a tourquize color with brown on the outside to it.
We camped at El Bosque with tons of other tourists but there was room for everybody, and it was quite.
We left our bags and climbed to the unnamed lake. The trail was marked well. It took us about one hour up. The lake was larger then the last two. We heard cracking and falling sound on the way ( maybe falling glacier?)The weather was bad and we were wet and cold, so we hurried back down.
3rd day:
After a rainy night we started a rainy day.
There were glimpses of sun and we had a chance to see the fresh snow covered mountains around.
We decided not to climb to the pass because of the weather and took var f.
We didn't regret it because it started snowing and the wind was crazy.
On the way down we met a worried ranger who was going up to stop people from climbing the pass.
At ( -46.08730, -72.17282) we split from the gpx and walked down on a well maintained CONAF trail.
At (-46.067656,-072.119996) there's a CONAF cabin and we had to pay 28,000 clp each.
We hitchhiked the MR to the main road. There were a lot of tourists on this trail and it went pretty fast.
Took a bus back to coyhaique at 16:30.
