* '''GPT02 | 2025-11-29 to 2025-12-04 | 5 days | hiking | SOBO | Route: Variant A - RR - Variant B - RR - Variant D - RR - Variant E - RR - Variant M | Michaela '''
• I had to pay 6,000 at the gate to Reserva Coyanco.
• All river crossings were easy.
• At Pass Cerros de Peuco there were many snowfields. I could bypass the first steep one by staying on the ridge. Later snowfields were easy to cross. The road was partly not visible under the snow.
• From the bridge labeled “Last reliable water source SOBO,” I took 5.5 liters of water with me. At the point labeled “GPT02 SOBO: Probably last water on next 25 km when no drought {02}” there was only a small stream, but it seemed quite contaminated.
• I took variant m. Right at the beginning I was stopped at a checkpoint, which called the mine security to escort me out. Everyone was very friendly. The mine security gave me lots of snacks and drinks and drove me to Coya, where they even helped me find accommodation.

It took us 4 days to hike second section, we combined it with GPT01.
There is water until bridge almost every hour from snow. After bridge one refill spot on -34.06783, -70.49324.
Snow conditions are pretty good we didn’t use microspikes at all. Biggest snow fields are after highest point on the trail (foto).

* '''2025-Nov-10 to 16 / 7 days / Hiking / NOBO (Northbound) / RR and Variant B and new exit from Puesto Huitriera Casa de Piedra to Codegua / Greg Carter, Meylin Ubilla, Jan Dudeck '''
Water, Bridge {01} [36.2+0.2/1044] is destroyed. Fording was easy.
Water ? {02} [8.7/1298] without water. But a spring about 50 m downstream hidden under vegetation provided clear cold water. A vague trail after crossing the dry river bed leads down to the hidden spring.Location: -33.721410, -70.345563
Variant B is slightly longer but scenic and recommended. Will become Regular Route.
Between the start and Puesto Huitriera Casa de Piedra we met only two arrieros. At Puesto Huitriera Casa de Piedra normally arrieros are present.
New Routes are available in DropBox: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/emsjcb3ddd1r9pk2nopg3/ACEXH1HBs5ojBSQlXcPHpO8?rlkey=soufuizo473odklpq756v0b94&st=1sssczkz&dl=0
(New recommended Regular Route similar to Variant B and new Exit Route to Codegua to avoid walking into the mine when only hiking GPT02 and not connecting via Coya to GPT03)
