* '''GPT07 | 2025-12-27 to 2026-01-01 I 5 days | hiking | SOBO I Route: option 10 - 1D - 1B - 1E - 1H - 1 - D - RR - Variant F - RR - Variant L | Michaela '''
• I hitchhiked to Laguna del Maule.
• At the border post, the officers were unsure whether I needed to register or not. Three people discussed it and finally decided that registration was not necessary.
• The selected route options at the beginning were very beautiful, both the view at Laguna del Maule and later the valley.
• There are many plum trees around Carrizales with very tasty, ripe plums.
• I did not meet anyone at the police post in Carrizales.
• At the shop in Carrizales, I bought cola and chocolate. There is also well-functioning Wi-Fi there.
• I really liked the hot springs near Carrizales. The water is very pleasant and warm, with only a few algae. I repeatedly switched between the warm hot spring and the cold river next to it.
• I bought cheese and bread from Irma.
• All river crossings were easy. The water level was at most knee-deep.
• I arrived in Puente Inglés on January 1st (public holiday). A police officer who was delivering hay for the police horses gave me a lift to San Fabián, where I am spending two rest days at Cabañas Nativa.

It was a beautiful section with lots of water. The weather was very good, even very warm. The heat is not as annoying as horseflies. To my surprise, there were no more snowfields, not even at 2300 Highmeters. The rivers had little water, so crossing them (Ford) was no problem. The options are rarely used, so the paths are very difficult to find. Sometimes I couldn't find the path and had to invent BB or detours. So the options are sometimes more dangerous than RR.

All fjords are easy and all water are reliable.

Beautiful and challenging section. Was beaten down by the heat, limited sombra for sure.
Variant B to avoid sketchy Horse Trail along cliff.
Stayed at Victor’s Puesto at Km 95. Very nice.
Got humbled by some cows…then got a terrible stomach bug. Took a rest day.
Took Variant L to avoid final climb, picked up by two friendly guys who drive me to San Fabian about 2km from Puente Inglés.
A lot to learn…need more sunscreen!
