I pitched my tent in the schoolyard, made a contribution to their cause and fell asleep at midnight after a long day of partying. Not the best cure against sickness but opportunities like these do not come around often. Anyways, continued on GPT 10 in the morning and probably more, that is yet to be seen.

Before leaving Abanico we stoped in Roca Cafe. The owner was really nice he is outdoor lover. Besides cafe he offers Refugios for 27 000 pesos with hot tub. Dinner or lunch possible for 6 000 pesos.

We didn’t pay anything, at the gate to National Park young guy asked for a plan we told him that we want to sleep in pas between Antuco and Sierra Velluda, and possibly climb Antico next morning. On google translator he wrote us that we don’t need to pay because we are just going through and not spending night in NP area.

Difficulty 3,5/5

Attractiveness 4/5

Final note: We hadn’t planned to be in town for Christmas and found last minute accommodations with an unbelievably open and welcoming family in Huépil. It took us about 2 hours to reach it by bus (Antuco – Canteras – Huépil, 4000cp total). It is probably too far from the trailhead if you only want to stay the night but we can highly recommend “El mercadito de Pamela” if you want to be pampered with good and abundant local food by a lovely family. We couldn’t believe our luck to be asked to join the Christmas feast and be part of preparing “Chivo al Palo” with Pamela and her family.
