*'''GPT 1 | 3/4-3/5 | 2 days | Option 2 | Out and Back | Graham and Leo '''
A little warm up for my friend. Perhaps, definitely, oversight.
It was so hot.
Option 2 is very water limited (as noted), and a long climb.
I ended up having to run 4km down the climb to refill my friends bottles.
Nice sleep under the stars with the city lights below the ridge.
Decided to turn back after water at ~km 20 to give us more time on next sections.
I gotta get better at realizing the meaning of acclimation.

Camp: -33.635701, -70.424136
Total: 27,85km, elevation gain: 2.120 m, elevation loss: 1.933 m
Attraction: 3/5, Difficulty 3/5
Transport: I took a Uber to Escuela Básica San Juan de Pirque and started from there
Comment: I would take 5-6 Liters water for the first day. I found water the next day around noon and it was very hot. I really liked my camping spot with an amazing view down to Santiago.

We went to last metro station link 4 and hiked from there. Good to take more water (we took 5,5l). There is water at the end of the option 3 (Filo Purgatorio).
We slept -33.62636, -70.44757 here, beautiful spot on the ridge.
I would recommend to take optional routes instead of RR.
Attractiveness 3/5
Difficulty 3/5

Transport: I took the train to Plaza de Puente Alto then I took an Uber to the beginning of Option 3. I heard there is a bus MB73 instead of Uber or walking.
Recommendations: Taking around 6 liters of water from town. A bug net would be nice to carry. Highly recommend Option 3B- the route to Cerro Purgatorio. I think the route would have been boring without this option though it is a more demanding route to ascend.

==Regular Route==
No permit or entry fees apply to the regular route but a high gate was build in 2021. If the the gate at waypoint "X, Gate {01} [11.2/787]" is locked, continue 2.1 km on the main road and take Option 2 3 (Filo Purgatorio).
