*2022GPT09 Volcán Antuco / Iris, Alexis / Mar 10-02-09 to 2022-02-10 | Veronika & Jo | GPT09 RR SOBO12 / 2.5 days / NOBO
The lodging road is nice and visible. There is no snow on the pass. At the entrance to the national park, the guards asked for permission, but when we told them that we were going to Trapa Trapa, they let us go. We slept at the shop in Guallalí camping inside the park (10000/person). We took a detour to see a waterfall by the glacier. It was not avaibleabout 4 km go and back. We camped right outside the national park, by the river. There were a lot of cows but none of them aggressive. We the shop owner pointed took the optional route 9c and walked by the carabineros station.No problems there. Just explained that we are going to Trapa Trapa, without crossing the border. They checked out passports and let us go. There were no further surprises, and the road is really well maintained. Just be careful when going down to an araucaria grove closeby Trapa Trapa after rain. It's quite slippery. There is plenty of water along all the trail. The shop in Trapa Trapa is marked with a sign on the main road. They have some sweetest and noodles but not much more. 21.-23. Jan. 2023/Johana & Matouš/ SOBO/2,5 daysWe really enjoyed this section. We took a bus from Los Angeles to Abanico at 3 o'clock and then hitchhiked to the end of the main road. We arrived at the CONAF control point with no one there (you 7 p.m.). We slept at the Lagunillas camping, which was for 10000 per person, they had beers, jugos, empanadas, tortillas..We teamed up with Gabi and Max from Poland and enjoyed their company throughout the section (hello! :-)). The ascent to the volcano was amazing, looked like Mordor. Near the point "Campamento Anfiteatro" there's a waterfall that ends in a snowpatch whereby it creates a cave of ice. It's amazing. You can enter via see it from the distance. There's clean water as well, the next clean water is on the other side of the volcano in the valley. We confirm that there's no need to stay away from the carabineros anymore, they only took down our passport numbers. Then it was easy walking until after the pass. We camped at a wooden gate nice spot in the forest next to the escuelariver (S 37° 40.6391' W 071°14.1985). We camped somehow didn't manage to find the food/lodging point, but were approached by an older lady who fed us cookies and seemed to know a lot about other hikers. There are said to be three shops in Trapa Trapa, we only found the one next to the school which had only biscuits. Continued to GPT10 straight after. *10.01.23 - 12.01.23 / Will / SOBO, regular route. Combined with section 10 Nice easy section, loved crossing the fresh crunchy volcanic wasteland at the start. Everything after that was fast trail. Mild temperatures, no horse flies. I had some trouble getting back from Antuco to the trail. I got told a couple wrong times for the bus, and had no luck during my quick hitchhiking attempt. Eventually caught a bus to abanico at 2, and then two rides got me into the park. The couple driving me spoke for me at the park entrance, and I ended up having to pay 4500 for the entrance. I probably should have gotten out and talked my way through separately. I stayed at openstreetmap's amphitheater campsite night 1. Nice sheltered spot at the base of sierra velluda, soft sand. The camp/puesto markers at km 47 seem a bit out of date. There wasn't much at the puesto maker, and therewas a puesto right at the campsite marker. The family at the puesto happily let me camp there. *06.01.23 - 08.01.23 (2,5 short hiking days) / Anna & Christopher / SOBO, Antuco - Trapa Trapa We hitchhiked from Camping Rucue back to the national park. The landscape was really magnificent the first day. There was almost no snow left after the pass. After the descent walking gets tougher due to the sand and the path is partially hard to find.But after the second roadcrossing there is a lot of easy walking on dirt roads. Atfter leaving the river at around km 47, there is still accessible water in the first part of the small ascent. On the plateau there are no watersources until the descent. We carried some water and camped on the plateau, a very nice spot. Walking down to Trapa Trapa was really nice. We followed the main route. In retrospective we would have taken option 3, because it is shorter. We met a couple of locals along the way and they all greated us very nicely. Trapa Trapa was pretty empty when we arrived at around 11 am. We continued right to section 10. *20 to 23 of December 2022 / Véronica / combined GPT09 and GPT10 RR SOBO / 4 days total Route: S 38° 02CONAF waypoint - shoulder of Volcán Antuco - road through border control checkpoint - Trapa Trapa Two days from national park to Trapa Trapa.647From Antuco, I hitched back to the national park and got there around noon. Didn't get charged an entry fee, W 071° 16I just told the entrance staff what trail I planned to take.441Nice path most of the way up the volcano, even the CC section has occasional cairns marking the way. You go along a creek as you go up, so lots of accessible water. Lots of snow on the southeast side of the pass. Tried to go around on the right along/through the rocks, but it's mostly siltstone, very crumbly, and very steep. Got really precarious there so I backtracked to the pass and went around the snow on the left. This involved climbing an additional 150m through volcanic sand, but it felt much safer. The rest of the way down is pretty much all cross-country, couldn't really find a path, but navigation was simple. There were some villagers passing bywater sources on the way down too, so courtesy of the melting snow. The next morning, I took Option C that goes along the dirt road. There was no one at the border control checkpoint, probably because I went through before 7 a.m. Rest of the way to Trapa Trapa is easy, no issues whatsoever. It's nice and forested on the south side of the pass. I didn't investigate resupply or bus options in Trapa Trapa as I went straight through to GPT10. *2022-Mar-01 / RR Northbound / Romain / 3 short days - Camp {09} [47.1/1709] : I slept around 47.5, the place was calm, flat, with grass and close to the water (that was finally not usable because there was too much sand in, but you can easily find drinkable water when going down the valley), many people from the puestos came to talk as it seems seemed to be public landthe end of the season, it was really pleasant. One offered me to come by him but it was late and I was too tired to move by him, I tried to meet him back the day after but I didn't find his puesto with its indications - The valley from Puesto {09} [49.3/1820] to Puesto {09} [39.8/1558] : very pleasant, with nice people in, I really liked this place. The water in the middle isn't usable but you can find fresh drinkable water going down from the hills at some points - Thereis a Puesto around {09} [37.0/1512], people were nice and asked me if I needed anything - The way on RR-TL-V {09} just after GPT09-C end isn's t easy to find, just stick to the GPS until meeting a small stream road leading to a Puesto close to the east river at the Ford on Rio de los Pinos, then it's much easy to follow - I got an excellent bath when crossing the river close to GPT08-04 end, the water coming from one river was warm and there was enough depth - the CC from GPT08-04 end to GPT09-02 end was beautiful but demanding because of the soil made of earth and sand, it took me more time than I thought. After having cross the river I got close to an other one with reasonably many cows next to it, following it at one point a source of clear drinkable waterwas running on 3-4m to reach the river - There is a Campbase with many places cleaned to set up tents and do campfires close to the river following up the road around Bridge {09} [23. Maybe it3/1409]. It's possible located at the base of a huge araucaria tree, you can't miss it - After the RH-CC-A {09} the RH-TL-V {09} is easily findable just by looking at the GPS and is marked with many cairns - National Park : when leaving it I went to see the guards at the entrance and they were ok with that, didn't ask for any information or fee *2022-02-09 to 2022-02-10 | Veronika & Jo | GPT09 RR SOBO Took the bus from Antuco to Abanico, got a ride by a friendly Chilean to the national park (no camping allowed). Had to pay entry to the park. Took the CC route avoiding the carabineros to camp more upstream in the meadows just beyond the park (S 37° 27.927', W 07). There was a spring emptying in the meadows there. Finished after a long hiking day at Elvira's "lodging, food". Very friendly family, took us in even after 21:00. Understandably there was no goat stew, but we also only payed half price (20.000). Great homemade bread in the morning though :) Continued to GPT10 immediately after. In the northfirst morning when breaking down camp, we were greeted by two carabineros on horseback, who may have been surprised at the sight of our tent out of sight next to a sand slope. They asked who we were, where there are bridges we're from and where we're going too, and didn't mind us camping there. No questions about the stream has passed fewer housesborder with Argentina after. I guess there's no need to stay away from the carabineros here any longer.
*2022-Jan-21 / Northbound RR + Antuco summit / Molly and Melissa / 3 days

*2020-Jan-22 / Martin / Regular route southbound
Combined sections 9 & 10. 4 days. Sierra Velluda and Antuco Volcanoe were amazing. In Trapa Trapa the two small shops were out of stock, so we couldn't buy anything. Pehuenche settlers in "veranadas" were really welcoming and friendly to us. We asked anyway for permission to camp close to their settlements. We were invited by familia Crespo Manquepi for tortillas, tea and some other food and stayed there for a few hours. They are welcome to recieve gpt hikers and in the future sell some food and lodging. Really kind family. Just before the last big climb in section 10. No water for a long stretch after it. Recomend the detour to Laguna Liay, amazing. Resupplied in Ralco.
