* ''' 2025-Feb-05 to 2025-Feb-10 / 4,5 days / Hiking / SOBO / RR, 14-01 (Sollipulli Summit), 14-C / Farah & Jan '''
Combined GPT14 and 15 and took 6,5 hiking days in total including the Sollipulli Summit ascent.
Highlights: Araucaria forests, Piñones
Challenges: Overgrown trails
Started in the afternoon at Laguna Chica de Icalma and camped at a small laguna some hundred meters off the RR at (S 38°52.007' W 71°22.804'). The section indicated in the manual as potentially overgrown, was indeed overgrown. Had to fight our way through vegetation and regretted that we didn’t bring a machete.
The creek at camp [22.4/1158] had dried out, so we took the 14-C detour to the lake {14-C} [0.9/1535] to fill our water bladders.
Found an araucaria tree with a low hanging ripe piña that we harvested and later peeled and cooked - sabroso!
Locked gate at S 38°53.3561’ W 71°27.0191’, that we had to climb over.
Camped at S 38°53,4797’ W 71°27.8106’ next to the river.
The next day we climbed another locked gate at S 38°53.6540’ W 71°29.4936’. Hiked only half a day, took the afternoon off and camped at S 38°54.5929’ W 71°29.9113’, at a small camp ground for 10 luca per night for two ppl and one tent.
Ascended to the Nevados de Sollipulli summit the next morning on the CONAF path (14-1), which was easy to walk. A properly maintained hiking path in the beginning and volcanic gravel further up. Then enjoyed another relaxed afternoon at the camp ground.
Next day we continued to the camp at [46.9/1091]. Easy road walking on a private road, between a forest and a beautiful river bed with little traffic (only a few 4WDs).
The next day we bought some food at the Mini Shop at [57.8/856], which had a way better selection than the shops in Reigolil center. Would’ve fully resupplied there, if we had known that already. Continued to the bridge at [59.8/835] and spent some relaxing hours next to and in the river. The fast food restaurant in Reigolil was closed, so no restaurant food for us. Resupplied at the shop at [60.0/838] with a very limited choice of foods and continued onto GPT15.
