*2022-Nov-10 / Yannic & Mirjam / RR SOBO
We travelled by bus from Rancagua to Coya. The bus leaves every hour from the terminal in Rancagua.
There was plenty of water all along the way. We spent one night at Camp{03}[33.5/1559], which is right on the river.
Bus bashing, we followed the GPS line +/- 20m, which worked quite well.
Crossing the Rio Claros was no problem, the nice camp is at (-34.50800, -70.65994).
Crossing the two passes is a long day, but doable. We spent the last night at Water{03}[71.5/957]. (The front water point Water ? {03}[70.1/1142] has no water).
In Auqua Buena we ate at the restaurant La Higuera. Good food and friendly owners.
In Auqua Buena we stayed overnight with Pedro. He has a very nice little house in the green about 5 minutes walk from the centre. Pedro can offer a room with bathroom and breakfast. Kitchen and everything else can be shared. Pedro is a super nice guy and also helped us for the start of GPT04. He told us that he would also be happy to host other hikers. It is best to contact Pedro before starting on GPT03. Here is his number: +56 9 6135 7353
*2019-Nov-26 / Tyler & America/ RR SOBO (mostly)* - the optional track around the last big climb of the route is pretty dang difficult to navigate in a couple places. Be prepared for some bush bashing and the route to not be the most accurate. I had downloaded satellite AND topo maps of the section on Gaia GPS and this was very valuable in finding the best ways through this. Bush Bashing: OH-BB-A@03-03-#006. Trail down to Rio Antivero (last half SOBO): OH-TL-V@03-03-#009
