* 01-Jan 20 / 02-Jan 20 // Linda // Hiking Southbound
Beacuse the pass of the Volcan is now impossible (view Martin feedback), I decided to hike only the southern part of this section = starting from Aguas Calientes (Buses all day long from Mercado of Osorno directly to Agua Calientes, which is a good spot tibrd'esr, with a camping) to the ski station and then to Lago Rupanco :
1st part = Option 2 from the ski station to the Volcanoe
2nd part = Regular route from the volcanoe to waypoint Div133
3rd part = Option 1 down to Lago Rupanco
The 2 first parts are simply amazing = the view both on Volcanoe Casablanca and the valley where lies Lago Rupanco
BUT I won't recommend the 3rd part which is indicated on the GPS as overgrown. And it was crazily overgrown!!! I did it without a machete and it took me about 7 hours to come across 2km of very very wild forest, full of flourishing bamboos, that is very strong. As there is no track, I had to stick very closely to my compass (South / South West) to be able to join the end of the regular hiking track (that leads to the Lago Rupanco) which was also full of huge dead trees!!!!
I don't know how overgrown is the Regular Hiking route through this same forest. But be prepared to something very very tough.
