I started from Altos Vilches, since the Bolson trail and Bolson Camp is closed until further notice and it is unclear whether CONAF will allow you to enter using Option 01 — I emailed with CONAF asking for an indication on opening date and whether I was allowed to hike on the road (Option 01) and connect to the RR after Camp Bolson, their answers were less than helpful to say the least.
Regarding permits. I contacted Tamara well in advance. She is slow to reply, but once she gets going she is very helpful and accommodating. I took the liberty to upload the form she requires you sign HERE to facilitate the process for other hikers. Notice that many of the more strict requirements (minimum 3 persons, certified guide, etc.) is CONAFS doing and not Tamara’s. She does not really care, her and her father just want to know who accesses their lands as littering has become problematic. In other words, obtaining permission is mostly a CONAF issue. If you are a bit persuasive, in a good way, it seems Tamara might just overrule CONAF as she did in my case. Paying Tamara 25 000 CLP using Caja Vecina was straightforward. I did it at the bank office.
