Cambios

We took the bus from Valdivia to Panguipulli and caught a connecting bus on the same day to Liquiñe that dropped us at {17P-A} [1.3+1.7]. We hiked down the road to camping Quilmio which was closed. After that, we crossed the bridge and spoke to the owner of the land who let us camp there for a small fee. The next day, we rivered in under the bridge. We meandered Meandering downstream in Rio Cua-cua which was peaceful but required attention to look out for fallen trees (which are easy to spot). Headwind started to build up as we approached Lago Neltume around late afternoon. Because of the relatively strong headwind and waves, it required hard paddling and progress was not as fast as we expected. However we managed to reach the end of the lake by evening and camped at Camping Neltume Lake Paradise ($7000 per person). The next day, we hiked on the paved road to Neltume, from where we hitch-hiked to Puerto Fuy. Along the road, we saw signs to an interesting volcanic cavern trail which we did not explore.
