== General Description ==
An excellent trek for the day. Ideal for vacationers of Pucón nuances the holidays with a different day. It includes a walk through the coigüe forest, araucarias, a walk over the limit of the vegetation at the foot of the [[Quetrupillán Volcano]], a sublime view of the [[Villarrica Volcano]] and a very good view of the [[Lanín Volcano]] ] The final destination is compensated with a waterfall on the edge of a little-visited mountain lagoon.

== Appropriate time ==
* '''Trekking''': November to April. Although in November and December there will still be enough snow in some sections. In January, the problem will be annoying [[Glossary # C | coliguachos]], which at times can be really uncomfortable.
* '''Randonnée''': June to September. Only in the middle of winter will it be possible to find Hidden Paradise with snow, thus dispensing with loading the skis.
== Access ==
From Pucón you must take route 199 (international road) in the direction of Curarrehue. Approximately at km 20 it turns to the right towards the Villarrica National Park. It is recommended to set the mileage to zero. The road, gravel in [[state of the road | good condition]], increases progressively. At Km. 10.9 there is a detour to the Palguín hot springs on the right ($ 7,000 each). Continue on the left. At Km 13.6 you should leave the main road and take a small detour to the left, towards the parcels of "Hidden Paradise". 400 meters further on there is a gate, normally open. If there is a guard, you must indicate that you will go to Fundo Porvenir.

An estuary is then crossed, and it continues ascending. At km 14.6 there is a fork: take the LEFT. At km 15,1 there is another fork: again LEFT. The road is now gravel in [[state of the road | regular state]]. At km 16.7 there is a third fork: again, take the LEFT, following the sign that says "Al Mocho". The last section is the roughest. At km 17.9, you reach Fundo Porvenir (it has a gate and a sign) where you can enter and park the car. There is the house of the Ulloa Family.

If you have a GPS device you can use the following file to get from the detour on route 199 to Fundo Porvenir:

* [[Media: Camino_Fundo_Porvenir.kml | Path Fundo Provenir]].

=== In public transport and hitchhiking ===

There is no public transport to Fundo Porvenir. There is the possibility of taking one of the frequent buses that connect Pucón with Curarrehue (700 pesos for the entire trip) and get off at the intersection between route 199 and the road that starts towards the Villarrica National Park (and also towards the farm). From that point it would be necessary to continue in a private vehicle, which seems difficult, but nothing is impossible.

== Description of the route ==
[[File:Volcan Quetrupillan (25).jpg|thumb|Extremo norte de Laguna Azul y Volcán Villarrica al fondo. Mirando al oeste, enero de 2015]]
[[File:Volcan Quetrupillan (26).jpg|thumb|[[Volcán Lanín]] desde el tramo que bordea la Laguna Azul por el este. Mirando al este, enero de 2015]]
[[File:Volcan Quetrupillan (52).jpg|thumb|Extremo sur de Laguna Azul]]
The route starts at Fundo Porvenir (1040 masl), from the side of the Ulloa family's house, the owners of the property.
You must start the walk in direction E (the volcano is seen in the background). A few meters from the start of the walk, immediately after crossing the barbed wire that closes the Ulloa garden, there is a sign: to the right, by a narrow path, it is towards Blue Lagoon. If you continue straight, you will go to the summit of [[Quetrupillán Volcano]] and [[Quetrupillán Circuit - Laguna Blanca - Blue Lagoon]]

The route loses part with a little slope advancing towards the southeast, and runs parallel to a stream. A few hundred meters, however, the vegetation becomes denser and the slope greater.

At km 1.51 (1160 masl) the path turns almost 90º to the south, faces the slope of the slope and becomes steeper. At 1270m there is a map of the route (although it is very unclear to indicate the essential "you are here").

At km 3.38 (1460m) you come to the confluence with the [[Villarrica Traverse]]. There is a sign indicating that there are 12 kilometers of walking to the nursery of [[Glossary # C | CONAF]] to the right (down). For Blue Lagoon, you must instead turn left, and continue ascending.

It passes next to a sign of "Km 46". There is no other option but to follow the path, because without it it is almost impossible to advance through the dense understory of the Araucanía. It passes under beautiful araucaria forests. Above, the forest is squat, with small lengas crushed by the meters of winter snow.

Immediately after leaving the forest, at 1600m, there is a camping site, marked with a sign. After this, the trail continues to the east. You pass by a sign that says "Vista al Quetrupillán" (thanks for the warning!). After that, the rura turns progressively towards the south, to cross the wide flat zone that conforms the southwest slopes of the [[Quetrupillán Volcano]].

An estuary is crossed immediately after which it passes next to a sign indicating "A Blue Lagoon". At 1660m, a few meters above that last sign, the route turns sharply towards the southeast. It is then passed through a steeper ascent zone and subsequently next to a "Km 50" sign.
Laguna Azul appears on the right (south), but much lower. Just before the pass (the highest point of the route), there is a small vulcanological station on the right (south) of the trail. The highest point is reached at the pass located at 1920m, kilometer 8.87. Now it remains to descend 320 meters to the shore of the lagoon. At this point, the [[Lanín Volcano]] appears to the east, while the [[Villarrica Volcano]] is left behind.

Then begins to border the Blue Lagoon in the east. The view of the [[Lanín Volcano]] is spectacular throughout this sector. If the path is covered in snow, which will happen at least until the beginning of December, it may be somewhat complex to intuit the location of the footprint in this section, so a GPS is welcome (although not essential). This section is completely devoid of vegetation, with characteristics of half mountain.

The trail continues descending, always on the east of the rocky spur that crowns the slopes that come from the lagoon (reason why the lagoon is normally out of sight). At 1790m, there is a flat sector with an extraordinary viewpoint of the lagoon with the [[Villarrica Volcano]] in the background. You pass next to a sign of "Km 52", and then the trail goes down with more slope. Just before reaching the south bank of the lagoon there is a pronounced zig-zag.

After the zig-zag you reach the south bank, an excellent place to rest, eat and bathe if the weather invites.

== Expected Time ==
Consider 4.5 to 5 hours of promotion, and 3.5 hours of return.
There is a conflict regarding charges for use of the trail. There are two owners, currently in legal dispute, through which the trail passes.

The owners of Fundo Porvenir could only charge for the use of the bathrooms and parking. As of January 2018, {{pesos to dollars | 3000}} per person is charged.

The rest of the trail, even before reaching the Villarrica National Park, is owned by another owner. Depending on the luck, you can meet the guy (called Rodrigo) who currently charges the "right to step" (be careful with him, says being the representative of society, walks on horseback, is armed with a gun and machete and with a Akita race dog and another mestizo).

According to the instruction that he gives, the property belongs to a company called Campo la Montaña, it must be notified 24 hours in advance. The access value is {{pesos to dollars | 5000}}. The notice must be made to the mobile +56999786153 and emails cuo@holdingfrontera.com and luisfelipediaz21@hotmail.com. For payment, deposit or transfer of funds can be made to the current account of Banco Santander No. 65-66275-2 under the name of Asesorías e Inversiones Lito S.A., RUT 76.147.759-5. Once the payment is informed, a document of release of civil liability will be sent via e-mail, which must be delivered signed at the moment of starting the promotion, or else carry this document in case of meeting the caregiver. Those who do not comply with this requirement and are not registered will not be allowed to enter the access path.

It is also possible to camp in Fundo Porvenir. It charges $ 5,000 per person per night, but is only charged if you camp on the same farm.

== Recommendations ==
{{Checklist | Type 1 equipment checklist: low altitude route, without camping, snow or cold}}
* For much of the year, the route is covered in snow. It is much more challenging to make this route when the path is not visible. Special attention should be paid to the sharp turn to the southeast.

{{Acceso a Caleu}}

==Descripción de la ruta==
[[File:Perfil_caleu_olmue.png|thumb|Perfil ruta Caleu - Olmué]]
[[File:Filo_caleu_olmue.jpg|thumb|Filo Caleu - Olmué desde la bifurcación el camino vehicular que conduce a la cumbre de [[El Roble]]. Mirando al oeste, noviembre de 2009]]
[[File:Cerro_penitentes.jpg|thumb|Cerro Penitentes. Se debe subir por la derecha, entre los arbustos. Lo más complicado viene justo después, pero no se ve. Mirando hacia el oeste, noviembre de 2009]]
[[File:Cajon_grande.jpg|thumb|Caminata por el bosque denso de la quebrada de Cajón Grande. Noviembre de 2009]]
Desde el portón de acceso al Roble, a 1242 msnm, se recomienda continuar en auto 4,1 kilómetros más, hasta los 1680 msnm., en el filo que divide los valle de Caleu y de Olmué. Hacia el oeste, se tienen bellas vistas del palmar de Ocoa y de La Campana. Poco después de esta primera vista del valle de Olmué, aparece una bifurcación peatonal para el sendero que conduce a Ocoa (1680 msnm y punto más alto de la ruta). Es el punto para estacionar. Se debe girar a la izquierda, en dirección al oeste. (Para la cumbre del Roble se debe continuar por el camino principal vehicular, por la ruta descrita en [[Cerro el Roble (ruta vehicular)]] ). La ruta es ancha y agradable, a la sombra de los robles más septentrionales del hemisferio sur, y se interna con pendiente suave por la ladera sur del filo que separa los dos valles.

Tras 2,3 kilómetros, la huella se pasa a la ladera norte de este filo, de más exposición solar, y la vegetación se achaparra de golpe, desapareciendo los robles, pero obteniendo a cambio una bella vista del palmar de Ocoa a nuestros pies. Se debe andar un kilómetro más por esta ruta ancha hasta que desemboca en una antigua mina de cuarzo (en la ladera sur).
(si se girara a la derecha, se recorrería la ruta [[Caleu - Ocoa]]). Es en este punto cuando comienza el tramo "salvaje" de la ruta, a lo largo del Cordón de los Penitentes, pues no existe un sendero claro por un largo tramo. Se debe continuar por el filo, ascendiendo entre los arbustos y las rocas. Existen algunas tenues huellas de animales, pero en general no existe un sendero bien definido, por lo que la consigna es "siempre por el filo", a lo largo de una antigua pirca que lo corona la mayor parte del recorrido. Tras 15 minutos se llega a una cumbre (marcada como "cumbre 1") desde donde se ve la ruta hacia adelante.

El tramo siguiente es algo más confuso, porque el filo se hace menos nítido. Se recomienda seguir la pirca, que tuerce por algunos metros hacia el sur. Luego se debe avanzar de nuevo en dirección al oeste, con el objetivo de retomar el filo, el que se vuelve nuevamente visible. Para ello, se deberá bajar una ladera bastante hostil, entre arbustos, algunos de ellos espinosos. Poco antes de alcanzar la parte más baja, se alcanza un sendero que viene desde el sur, desde Olmué (marcado como "inicio de sendero") el que se debe seguir. La caminata adquiere de nuevo un carácter más amigable. 35o metros más adelante se alcanza una planicie rodeada de árboles. Poco después se inicia el ascenso al rocoso cerro Penitentes, último escollo de la ruta. El sendero será claro por un largo rato, ascendiendo gradualmente. El tramo final anterior al Penitentes, la huella y la pirca desaparecen (después de todo, el Penitentes es una pirca natural) y se debe buscar el acceso entre los arbustos. El último tramo antes de la cumbre requiere ayudarse con las manos para trepar las rocas, pero no reviste una dificultad seria ni justifica el uso de cuerdas, aunque la vegetación dificulta en cierta medida el ascenso. La cumbre del Penitentes es un bello mirador de la ruta que hemos venido siguiendo, así como de los dos valles que el cordón separa. El tramo inmediatamente posterior es la parte más complicada de la ruta, pues debe buscarse un paso entre la densa vegetación espinosa de la ladera norte (la ladera sur es un pequeño precipicio) y las grandes rocas. Pero encontrar el paso es posible, y luego vuelve a existir un tenue sendero que continúa con cierta claridad a lo largo la [[Glosario#A|arista]] misma hasta el Paso Ocoa, el punto más bajo del filo, y punto en que esta ruta se conecta con la [[Travesía del Parque Nacional La Campana]].

Acá hay tres opciones: se puede optar por bajar hacia el sur, ya sea por Granizo o por Cajón Grande (cómo se describe en esta reseña) lo que toma cerca de 1h 45', o se puede bajar hacia el norte, en dirección a Ocoa, lo que toma cerca de 2h 30', y para lo cual se debe leer el tramo respectivo en [[Travesía del Parque Nacional La Campana]]. Si se baja hacia el sur (por cualquiera de las dos rutas) se recorrerá un frondoso bosque de lingues, peumos, litres y quillayes y se llegará a Olmué, más cerca de Santiago y con buses cada hora hacia Santiago. Si se baja hacia el norte, se recorrerá un bello y singular palmar, y se llegará a CONAF, donde no existe movilización, y luego a Ocoa y la carretera panamericana (con numerosos buses pero que no necesariamente se detienen en el camino).

'''Descenso por el sur'''

* A Granizo: Descrito en [[Travesía del Parque Nacional La Campana]]. Este punto está más cerca del pueblo de Olmué.
* A Cajón Grande: El cartel al comienzo indica 5,5 kilómetros de caminata desde el Paso Ocoa. La ruta es siempre muy clara, aunque estrecha, a la sombra de la tupida vegetación de la quebrada (de donde recibe su nombre). Al comienzo, baja abruptamente, zigzagueando. Luego la pendiente disminuye, y se debe cruzar varias veces el estero de la quebrada. Tras 1h 30' de marcha se alacanza una bifurcación. Se debe tomar la izquierda, y continuar por un sendero muy ancho (si se tomara la derecha, se seguiría por el sendero ''Plateu''). Sólo 15 minutos después, se alcanza CONAF, donde hay estacionamiento. Si se camina 15 minutos más por el camino vehicular, se llega a un paradero donde es posible tomar buses a Olmué.

===Tiempo esperado===
Entre seis y siete horas desde el estacionamiento descrito. La referencia del primer autor es 4h 30' hasta el fin del filo (Paso Ocoa) y 1h 45' desde este punto hasta CONAF de Cajón Grande u Olmué. Agregar 30 a 40 minutos si se parte caminando desde el control de ingreso al Roble en Caleu.
{{Entrada al Roble}}

==Recomendaciones==
{{Checklist|Checklist de equipo tipo 1: ruta de baja altitud, sin acampe, nieve ni frío}}
* Volver hasta el auto puede ser bastante complicado si se deja en el inicio mismo del sendero. Más aún considerando que la puerta de acceso al Roble cierra a las 18 horas. En caso de ir en auto, lo mejor es dejarlo al menos antes de la puerta. Sin embargo, si no se cuenta con un alma generosa dispuesta a ir a dejar al punto de partida, lo mejor es realizar esta ruta en transporte público.

== Description of the route ==
[[File: Perfil_altos_de_chicauma.PNG | thumb | center | 750px | Profile of ascent to Laguna del Inca in Altos de Chicauma]]
{{Start - end of the oak tree}}

After reaching the highest point of this part of the massif (2063m), the small lagoon will be visible some tens of meters below. It is recommended to advance to the eastern edge of the lagoon, passing by the small dam, which is nothing more than a few stacked stones and railroad rails. This gives an excellent view of the Santiago valley, the Lampa wetland, and the Andes mountain range.

=== Expected time ===
Consider four and a half hours of climbing, and three hours of descent.
