* ''' GPT18 | 2026-02-12 to 2026-02- 15 I 3 days | hiking | SOBO I Route: RR - Variant C | Michaela '''
Day 1
I took the ferry from Puerto Fuy to Puerto Pirihueico (1,5 h, 1,150 CLP) at 11:00 and arrived at 13:30. I had lunch there and then started walking. It was a very short hiking day. It took me about 1,5 hours to reach Camp {18} [22.3/615].
The MR was slightly overgrown in the first part but not difficult.
I camped here: -40.008089, -71.748051 - very nice spot. I enjoyed a swim and a relaxed afternoon.
Day 2
Beautiful sunrise at the lake. Most of the trail was easy to walk. From km 50,5 the trail became a bit more overgrown, but nothing serious, mostly high grass and some fallen trees that were easy to bypass.
The forecast said there was a small chance of rain (and recently the real weather was always worse than predicted), so I decided to sleep in the abandoned hut: -40.005992, -71.867541
The hut is clean. There are several more or less broken bunk beds, one bed is intact. The roof is good. There are no windows and two sides of the wall are open. I fixed the metal roof a bit because it was very loud in the wind.
Day 3
Sleeping in the hut was a good decision because early in the morning it started raining. Late in the morning the rain stopped and I started hiking. The Garmin forecast said there would be no more rain, but again it was wrong. It started pouring heavily and continued until the afternoon.
Despite rain jacket and rain pants I was soon soaked to my underwear. The trail itself was only strongly overgrown in a few sections, but most of the time the grass was knee- to hip-high, which is very uncomfortable when wet.
I decided to sleep at Camp {18} [73.9/468]. When I arrived the rain stopped and the sun came out, so I hung my clothes on the fence around the beehives, which was not a good idea. A bee stung me directly under the eye and my face swelled massively. Not my most enjoyable day (Happy Valentine’s Day).
Day 4
I took Variante C. Easy MR. I arrived at the main road around noon and could hitchhike without problems to Futrono.
Here I stayed at "Hospedaje Futrono" – very nice place with a small shared kitchen and friendly owners.
Single room with private bathroom: 25.000
Shared bathroom: 20.000
Attractiveness: 1.5/5
Difficulty: 2.5/5
