Pedro’s recommendation was to go through the cherry/fruit farms to reach the road that is on the northern bank of Río Tinguiririca and follow that to the bridge over the river.
Pedro allowed us to share his phone number (+56 961 357 353) in case other hikers might need help getting around the fences. Just give Write him a phone message or on WhatsApp (don’t call ), mention that you are hiking the GPT, when you are in Agua Buena. He doesn’t have a car and won’t cannot give any rides. His craft is HorsemanshipBut he offered to host hikers at his property, you can put up your tent, have a hot shower, use kitchen and charge your electronics, all for 10.000 pesos.
Sign before the bridge said private property - entrance forbidden. We went anyway and didn’t meet anyone who would turn us back. There is a small shop and a bus stop at the turn where you get on to the dirt road about 5km from Las Peñas. We didn’t want to walk in a sandstorm - because of the amount of dust generated by the passing cars - and decided to hitch that part right away which was an easy hitch.
