* ''' GPT15 | 2026-01-28 to 2026-01-29 I 2 days | hiking | SOBO I Route: Option 1 | Michaela '''
Day 1
I walked all day on minor roads, almost 30 km. I hoped to hitchhike part of the way, but not a single car passed.
I did not take the GPT track of Option 1 via Laguna Isolde. I stayed on the minor road because I wanted to arrive early at the termas and have more time to enjoy them.
I arrived around 3 pm and decided to stay at Termas San Sebastián. They felt a bit more comfortable and cost the same as the Eco Camp (15,000 CLP). The owners are super friendly. There were only two other families.
I had an amazing campsite far away from the people, right next to the river.
Day 2
I started just before noon from the termas. I followed Option 1 until here: -39.116396, -71.680268, then I followed an OSM trail to Lake Caburgua.
I think this could be a good new option for the GPT to avoid problems with CONAF in Huerquehue National Park.
At the lake, the trail soon turns into a dirt road. There are some cars, so hitchhiking is possible. I walked along the shore hoping to find a camping spot, but no luck. Almost the entire lakeshore is private property.
In the end, I hitchhiked the last 2–3 km to Camping Los Maitenes (10,000 CLP). It’s a quiet campsite with electricity, warm water, and a washing machine. Not directly at the lake, but only a 5-minute walk.
The next day I took the bus to Pucón for a few rest days. Rain is coming.
