'''2025-01-27 to 2025-01-31 / 4 days / NOBO / GPT 13/12/11 (Packrafting Bio Bio) / Mara & Tobias
Jan is right as he put Río Bio Bio not as an official option for the GPT. But for experienced packrafter it might be a great thing to do!
We crossed Lago Icalma in the early morning hours and hiked to Laguna Galletue where the Bio Bio river is born. We started paddling downstream. It was a funny but also demanding experience. Lage parts are overgrown with trees (non-native willow) and some rapids have little water. After we had 2 holes in the Packraft, we stopped the adventure after 6 km, went to the road and hitchhiked to bridge Lolén (-38.47294 -71.23612). One bridge earlier (-38.59210 -71.14081) would be suitable for river in as well.
Then the great part started! We paddled 3 days down to the embalse Ralco lake and enjoyed the rapids (class 1-2+) there are 2 rapids class 3. All of the rapids can be easily spotted before entering. And also be bypassed. We did that 3 times. In Troyo there are 3 mini markets for resupply. Crossed the lake in the early morning hours to avoid strong winds. Bio Bio is a warm and not very clean river. We took the drinking water from the creeks beside.
