*'''2025-01-01 to 2025-01-04 / 4 days / Hiking & Packrafting / NOBO / Hiking: Option 1, RR, Option 3B, Option 3A, Packrafting: RP Lago Chico, Hiking: Option 14 / Manon, Robin, Lucie, Thomas'''
Day 1:
We left the argentinian border towards the chilean border (large and well marked path) following option 1 until reaching the RR at km 6.6. We had planned to turn west following the RR at this point but needed to go collect a stamp from the chilean border first.
Therefore we left our backpacks at the RR km 6.6 and walked RR km 6.6 until the border at RR km 1.5, thinking we would go faster to the chilean border and then back at that point. Bad idea ! The chilean carabineros wanted to check our backpacks so we had to go get them back (they didn't check the backpacks in the end). Lesson there is: bring the sufficient amount of stuff to look like a realistic backpacker ! We left the packrafts before the border though as we didn’t want to justify us. Chile and Argentina are not very friendly with packrafts because of Didymo propagation
We had to fill in an area remoto permiso for our expedition around the lake. The carabinero was not used to this kind of circuit, mentioning that we had meeting points with Leo Muñoz and Andrea Arriagada Mancilla helped. In the end we filled a 15 days expedition permit.
We went back to RR km 6.6 towards the end of afternoon and followed the RR for a bit more. Easy path. We slept by rio obstaculo.
Day 2:
Followed the RR from km 7 to km 33. Stunning view at 48°54'10"S 72°55'50"W. At km 33 we went down to the lake following Option 3B and 3A (some bad bush bashing) and slept at the Playita (start of Option 3A).
