==Season 2023/24==
2023-Nov-12 to 2023-Nov-16 / 4,5 days / Hiking / SOBO / RR + GPT02 variant A + improvised trail due to a lot of snow between km30 and km52 / Yannick & Nolwenn
- Gates :
(1) gate at km3 for the Reserva, nobody there, the gate was open so we just went through.
(2) Gate at km80,3 was closed, we just went around on the right side of the fence and followed it to reach the track again.
- Water : water markers correct and more water due to snow melt
- Camping spot : km 17,7 | km 36,5 | km 55 | km 82,6
- River crossing :
(1) bridge (km3,6) was inaccessible for us, stream too strong - so we took the variant A and crossed the river further on. The current was really strong and up until the hips, we took our time and had previous experiences of river crossings before.
(2)Between km21,6 and km27,5 we had to cross the river 9 times, it was usually up until our thighs.
- Weather : 3 days of sun and 1 cloudy day.
WARNING : Update on snow conditions.From km 30,5 the snow is present until km 52. Be really careful between km 34.6 and km 41, because it is icy and a fall could be fatal. We diverted from the gpt trail because following was impossible due to the snow. Sometimes there was 1 meter of snow. Follow the ridgline from km 42 to km 47, and not the gpt trail because at the moment it is completely covered in icy snow. For those who are planning to do this section in the next few days, defenetly check the weather and be aware of the impact of the sun on the snow ( melting, icy...)
- Resupply : Coya, a small shop has everything you need for the next section
- Accomodation : ' Hostal & Residencial' for 20 000 pesos a night
- Option roads : variant A ( easy to follow ) / variant M + N ( trail overgrown at some stages ) / at the control Maintenes, a friendly worker didn't let us take the gravel road at km 101,3 so we walked along the ruta H203 and reach the trail again at km102,4
- Overall : beautiful section but the snow made it really challenging for us. We met some wild cows and bulls and they were afraid of us and ran away, same for wild horses.
