*'''2025-JAN-16 to 2025-JAN-17 / 2 days / Hiking / SOBO / RR / Ivan, Jakub, Daniel'''
We combined stages GPT20 + 21, taking food for 4.5 days. Although GPT20 was short, it was a very diverse and challenging stage that combined beautiful views with demanding bush-bashing on overgrown trails. We followed RR and detached at 41.9 km onto GPT21 (OH-01).
Challenges: The main challenge for us was the bush-bashing on the overgrown trail. This primarily applies to the section from RR 30.3 to 36.6, where the narrow path is overgrown, causing us to lose it a few times. There are also short sections through overgrown MR after the route from X {20} [17.1/1252], but nothing too complicated.
Bivouacing: The first nice place to sleep with water is Camp {20} [8.0/576]. We continued further and spent our first night at a beautiful place (-40.76012, -72.12685) about 3 km before the pass. After the pass in the section with the overgrown trail, it is very difficult to camp; nice sleeping spots are then found at Ford {20} [40.3/128] (Rio Gaviotas).
Water: It is essential to plan water well for this stage, as there is no reliable water source between Camp {20} [8.0/576] and Water {20} [33.2/852]. However, at the unmarked pass around km 25.8, we found snow that provided enough water to filter.
Resupply: For this stage, we planned food for 2 days, which we bought at the Iguazu supermarket in Entre Lagos. It was just enough. Additionally, at the coordinates -40.88075, -72.17967 near Lago Rupanco, there is a small kiosk on the beach that is not in track files. However, you can buy supplies for a few days there.
