Section Statistics

Section Planning Status

The regular route and most options have been hiked and recorded by various hikers in recent years and feedbacks are incorporated in the track files. (2019)

Recommended Travel Period

Regular Route: The relative northern latitude and the maximum elevation of 2200 m should make remaining snow less of an issue in spring. Also no major river crossings are required on the regular route. Therefore this section should be traversable from early spring till late autumn. In spring parts of the route might be muddy due to snow melt. During winter heavy snow fall may occur in the elevated areas. (2019)

Option 1 Rio Clarillo: This option links GPT01 directly with GPT02 and is expected to open up later than the regular route due to its higher elevation. See the Recommended Travel Period of GPT02 for further information to this option. (2019)

Benefits of Hiking and Packrafting

This section does not incorporate any packrafting. This would make packrafting gear an annoying burden on the very steep ascents and descents of this section. (2019)

Recommended Travel Direction

Regular Route: The regular route can be hiked in either direction. (2019)

Option 1 Ril Clarillo: This options traverses the Reserva Nacional Rio Clarillo. When hiking southbound CONAF park rangers at the entrance near Pirque might not permit a traverse and insist that all hikers return on the same route. But when hiking northbound the Reserva Nacional Rio Clarillo is entered in a sector not monitored by CONAF. Leaving the Reserva Nacional at the entrance near Pirque will not be an issue therefore GPT01 Option 1 is currently recommended in northbound direction only. Combined with GPT02 this option is probably the more attractive finish for northbound hikers. (2019)

Hikers that took this option and have a good command of Spanish might talk to the CONAF park rangers and outline hike. This might facilitate acceptance by CONAF park rangers for southbound traverses of this attractive option. (2019)

Section Length and Travel Duration

Regular Route: The 40 km short regular route can be hiked in two demanding days or three more relaxed days. (2019)

Option 1 Rio Clarillo: This sections links directly with GPT02. See Section Length and Travel Duration of GPT02 for information to this subject. (2019)

Northbound hikers should avoid walking into Santiago in the late evening and either take a bus to the metro station Puente Alto or spend the last night in the mountains before walking into the populated areas of Santiago. (2019)

Section Attractiveness

Regular Route: The regular route leads quickly out of the bustling capital Santiago and follows mostly a barely used minor road that was build for the construction and maintenance of an underground gas pipeline. This section is certainly not a highlight of the GPT but a worthwhile start. Especially hikers that advocate connecting footsteps will appreciate that you can walk in two or three hours straight from a busy subway station into the quite Precordillera. (2019)

Option 1 Rio Clarillo: For northbound hikers this option is probably the more attractive choice to finish their endeavour on the GPT. (2019)

Section Difficulty

Regular Route: The regular route requires a long, very steep ascent and descent that are physically demanding. But apart from this no mayor difficulties, technical challenges and dangers are known. (2019)

Option 1 Rio Clarillo: This sections links directly with GPT02. See Section Difficulty of GPT02 for information to this subject. (2019)

Resupply

Resupply Towns at Start, Finish and off Route

Santiago

What you can't source in Santiago you probably don't get anywhere else in Chile. (2019)

El Melocoton

El Melocoton is a rather small village in the Maipo valley. You will get standard food items but to satisfy more sophisticated desires you might need to take a bus to San Jose de Maipo or Santiago. (2019)

Resupply en Route

There are no known resupply possibilities along the route. (2019)

Access to Route

Santiago, Metro Puente Alto

Plaza De Puente Alto is an underground metro station and the southern terminal station of Line 4 of the Santiago Metro network. Underground trains run frequently between 6 am in the morning and 11 pm in the evening.

Calculate 1 hour from the city centre to the terminal station Puente Alto.

From Plaza De Puente Alto buses leave to most towns and villages in the Maipo valley and the surrounding area. (2019)

Reserva Nacional Rio Clarillo

From Plaza De Puente Alto the following buses get you close to Reserva Nacional Rio Clarillo:

• Bus 978 towards Rio Clarillo
• Bus MB-74 towards El Principal De Pirque
• Bus MB-80 towards El Principal De Pirque

Buses are frequent and calculate 1 hour for the bus ride. (2019)

El Melocoton

From Plaza De Puente Alto the following bus gets you to El Melocoton in the Maipo valley.

• Bus MB-72B

Buses are frequent and calculate a bit over 1 hour for the bus ride. (2019)

Permits, Entry Fees, Right-of-Way Issues

Regular Route: No permit or entry fees apply to the regular route. Also no right-of-way issues were reported from hikers in recent years. (2019)

Option 1 Rio Clarillo: Access into Reserva Nacional Rio Clarillo is controlled by CONAF at the main entrance near Pirque. The park is intended for daytime visits only and does not provide camp grounds. Cooking inside the park is strictly banned including with camping stoves. A maximum of 800 persons are permitted entry on one day. CONAF park rangers might not permit a southbound traverse and all visitors are probably required to leave the park in the evening at the main gate. The entrance fee is 6000 CLP for foreign nationals and 2000 to 4000 CLP for Chileans.

A northbound traverse is probably free of charge. (2019)
