Day 4: The quite overgrown trail with a lot of BB is sometimes difficult to find (if you don’t want to permanently use your device, look at the logs, they often indicate the way, where the path disappears on grassland). Only once I followed misleading cow trails and in order not to walk back 15 min or more did 100m of terrible BB. The trail goes up and down, often very steep - and with all the BB it’s quite physical - but always very scenic (stunning waterfall). It took me 10 hours of walking for 20km. Close to Misaels hut a ford through stagnant water. . Misael later said, it‘s just up to the knees, but I didn’t see this traverse, so it was up to my waistline (1,97m!). The day ended with a great meal, Misael had prepared. Instead of continuing with the Rueda boat to Candelaria Mancilla the Next day, I waited for a boat the next day, which took me to the mountain guide Leo Munoz at Rio Condor (+56 9 6904 9561) on the western (chilean) side of Lago O‘Higgins).
"25-03-9 - 25-03-12 / 3,5 days / SOBO / West loop circuit ; Adrien, julien et Valentin
Day 1: RH-TL which runs along the eastern part of Lake O'higgins. Camp (S 48° 35.190', W 072° 34.877) before the big climb up to the lake, well sheltered from the wind (behind the dead tree trunk), a river not far upstream. Miseal's advice: take the RR instead, it's prettier and easier.
Day 2: Difficult navigation after the pass (Portezuelo El Rose), wet trails and abundant swamps.
Day 3: Before the pass (Canadon Los Patos), abundant swamps, maybe better to go for it with wet shoes.
Day 4: Okay, the end is bushy, but it's doable.
Miseal: 35 euros for the day, 15 euros for a half, quality meat, and the Misael tortas are incredible. He's really nice, we had a good chat with him. Easy communication with the boats so they could pick us up at Bahia Pescado with extra food. No waiting list during this time.
