+Our last section on the GPT for this year! We started in Vilches Alto with the option 06-05 because we rented horses with the arriero Jose Lopez. The beginning is placed in the Reserva Nacional Altos de Lircay, which requires a permit to go until the Volcan. The entrance fee is also 7k pp. We finished our first day at Camp, CONAF {06-05} [10.2/1158]. I believe we mostly followed the GPS track.
 Our first trip on the GPT, plenty of water, we didnt carry more than 1.5L each. Here is our trip :

		+	03/02/2023 - 08/02/2023 / RR + Descabezado SOBO / Louis, Rémi & Noé :
		+
		+	Our first trip on the GPT, plenty of water, we didnt carry more than 1.5L each. Here is our trip :
		+
		+	Day 1 - Laguna Las Animas - 18km - +1200m/-100m
		+	We entered the parc illegally at 7:30 in the morning as some others hikers have done reading the wiki. We did this because the parc was full for the next 3 days. I can only advise you to book in advance on internet (conaf). We slept at a camping in front of the entrance for 7k CLP per person. Plenty of buses goes up there from Molina in 2 hours. At least a dozen. Same for going back. If you but your ticket online : if you sleep at El Bolson, you can enter the park until 3pm, if you go further with only the El Bolson ticket, you can entered until 11am only!
		+	So, we hiked until the Laguna las Animas, a rather long day for the first one.
		+	The camp on the beach was quite windy too.
		+
		+	Day 2 - Termas de Azufre - 11km - +400m/-700m
		+	A short day, nice to enjoy the hot springs in the afternoon. The pass in the morning was very windy too.
		+
		+	Day 3 - Refugio El Blanquillo - 20km - +800m/-900m
		+	A long but beautiful day. Leave early the camp to avoid hot temperatures while ascending the pass. Well welcomed by the arrierio Umberto ! Very kind.
		+
		+	Day 4 - Volcan Descabezado Grande - 16km - +2000m/-2000m
		+	We did the ascent without our bags, we went back to our camp in the night. It's long and hard. According to Umberto, 12h are needed in total, we did in 10h. Same, Leave early to avoid hot temperatures.
		+
		+	Day 5 - Laguna los Hornitos - 20km - +900m/-900m
		+	Another nice day, passing next to Laguna Caracol. The descent from the pass is a bit annoying if you didnt follow the track (as we did). So, advice : follow the RR and go down on your right. The Laguna is very dry, just enough to have a bath. Hard to maintain the pitch of the tent in the dry dirt.
		+
		+	Day 6 - Los Cipreses - 15km - +100m/-1000m
		+	Last short day to end this beautiful section. The gravel road is a bit boring but passing pickup are proposing you to get you down to the main road. Here, only one bus at 7am. And a little shop selling ice cream, chips and drinks. We hitchiked to El Colorado where plenty of buses are going down to Talca for 2 000 CLP (+ 400 CLP per bag)

		+	24/01 - 30/01 / RR + Descabezado SOBO / Martial :
		+
		+	First trip 6 days on GPT being a wonderfully intense experience ! Lunar landscapes, silent and remote, few but great people. No particular difficulty.
		+	Started park ingles with a mandatory 7000peso night at quiet camping near the river and bought ticket for Bolsón overnight 8$. Finally did not stay at Bolson a half day walk from entrance and camped in Laguna de las Animas instead. Great spot for Condors watching. After that follow Will’s advice and put on your mandatory gaiters till the end of the section ! + Walking on sand can be tough for the ankle. Don’t resist and don’t do too much !! Learned it the painfull way.. Trail visible but don’t get confused at termas Azufres especially if you try the (very) hot pools ! RR way is up the valley. Camp with water possible before the pass. The way down called « la Calle » is beautifull sandy dune remote desert. Exceptional. Aimed for Blanquillo refugio aka best basecamp for Descabezado intent. Meet Umberto the arriero at the hut and ask him where the termal pool and the drinking water are. He may be offended if you don’t show up and is a nice generous guy ! Also had a Chilean horse riding group intended the Descabezado so were a nice bunch by the camp fire. As weather window was fine, I decided to try a high camp in order to preserve weak foot from a very long ascent (10h). Took plenty of water as they are only glaciar dirty patches up there and aimed for Descabezado to Cerra Azul osm trail just as Nat and Tomas did (so i could have a chance to summit both also). Finally chose not to cross the nasty glaciar but found a very well sheltered highcamp here (-35.60569, -70.76147). Incredible sunset ! Not advisable in case of rain coming (a storm was growing in Argentina so stayed prepared for an emergency descent). Next day summited Descabezado at 11AM with no wind ideal conditions. Dive your front foot flat in sand just like snow climb when it gets to steep ! Nice ski descent sensations straight to the termas for a well deserved rest at the termas ! Also met Carlos a local climbing half way up so we would share joy later at the camp :).
		+	Exit through RR is also nice but regreted haven’t camped here (-35.67102, -70.83649) for there was some playfull trouts to catch with my survival fishing kit !
		+	Beautiful vew from the pass to sandyland and then landscape changes and recommend OH variant C descending (less overgrown). Trail not so visible till laguna los hornos witch i climbed volcano to enjoy the crater caldera. After that descent to los Cipreses is kind of boring and hot so was definitely happy to find a camping by the bridge after the gate with lovely Victorina and her family here (-35.81524, -70.83224). They have been incredibly carring, fed me and brought me to the termas caves (also worth it) in El Medano !

		+	*16/01/23- 25/01/23 / Natalie & Tomás/ OH 06-02 & 06-03 NOBO / Laguna Maule to Villeches w/ volcans/ 10days
		+
		+	An extremely long description so my apologies but hopefully it will help someone. We Started in Maule and ended in Villeches with inclusion of Descabezado, Azul, Chico and Colorado (Tomás).
		+
		+	All fords super easy or jump-able. Only times water was scarce was Descabezado and Azul (technically there is melt water at Azul), the afternoon around Nevada Chico and also water was scarce around the Laguna caliente because I would not trust drinking that water. Weather turned bad only once while we were climbing Azul, the change happened rapidly and we went from blue skies to total white out (~10m or less visibility) within minutes. Other than that weather was amazing, a little cold at night and a little warm in the day.
		+
		+	Happy we started in Maule and finished in Vilches. This saved elevation gain and let us dictate whether or not we had enough food in the end to climb Descabezado, Azul, chico and for Tomás Colorado.
		+
		+	Day1.
		+	Starting in Talca, due to a certain someone (me) I accidentally sent Tomás and I too Molina on a bus instead of "la mina" so our day was very messed up but we still managed to take a bus to Colorado and hitchhike to the start of this route. Buses from Talca to la Mina go at; 7:00am, 1:00pm (only to la Suiza), 3:00pm and 7:00pm. We took a bus to Colorado due to time and hitched the rest of the way. The last hitch was in a snowplow truck and he dropped us off miraculously at the start of the trail and before any customs or checks.
		+
		+	OH-TL-V {06-02} (109.1). Straight away the trail is hard to see, do not take the road looking trail on the side of the mountain because it ends, stick to the gps. However soon we were walking on the correct route through the sand and down to a creek with fun boulders. Easy to follow. After this first creek we followed option OH-CC-A (06-02) {98} For only -5km until making camp in-between a river and and canal with flowing water. Bogs in this area slowed us down a lot.
		+
		+	Day2.
		+	OH- {06-02} -[ (93) & (86) ]
		+	This day seemed long, we crossed two passes, one small (-35.94909, -70.45347) and one much larger (-35.88855, -70.46776). I liked the entire area south of the second pass, many beautiful camp spots, water was available almost to the top of the pass and there is also a nice waterfall/swimming pool located roughly around (-35.90452, -70.45218). Trail to first pass was easy but trail between first and second was much more cross country, there are many animal tracks, I followed the gps and Tomás followed a trail closer to the river and we both ended up at the same spot...
		+
		+	After the second pass there is a small plateau and then it follows down a creek with water until you must cross a east hill and go towards your first mountain puesto to the east(noone home). There is only a little bit of water here, better water at the creek you came from and or a few creeks ahead.
		+
		+	From the puesto (-35.86707, -70.47589) there is a good trail that trvaerses the slope ahead. We should have camped but we continued. There were a few nice creeks that were passed along the way. We were forced to make a "make-shift" camp before hitting a much nicer plateau because it was dark and I was not having a good day 😅.
		+
		+	Day 3
		+	OH {06-02} [78.6] + [75.7] + [63.6]
		+	Easy day, only one small pass. There is an ex cabineraro puesto at (-35.84277, -70.40285) and a highlight was two rivers, one at (-35.76317, -70.42051) and one river at (-35.74734, -70.45623). We walked near {06-02E} along a river filled with sand and not great for drinking but there is a creek that starts/ends here (-35.72759, -70.44125). We camped near this way point in the sand but it got windy at night, we wished we camped elsewhere.
		+
		+	Day4
		+	OH {06-02} [59.6] + [29.1] + {06-02D}
		+
		+	This day we passed a large pass (-35.65200, -70.43356) via {06-02D}. This option was more direct and involved a very short and easy scramble onto a windy plateau. Surprisingly lots of water up towards the pass, last one being (-35.66343, -70.42666) , however the water available had a lot of sand in it, fyi. From camp I followed a cow trail until a lake like feature (-35.70057, -70.42733) and then went cross country. I hope my cairns marking the turn for {06-02D} survive.
		+
		+	After the pass the true Descabezado environment begins. We both made note of how terrible it would be to be on this plateau in bad weather, very open and CC. Next water source would be a couple of creeks here (-35.61215, -70.42156). From a break at this creek we ended up going straight down the creek bed. Kind of exhausting mentally and would not be possible in early season due to water levels but it shot us out directly in line for making a green camp here (-35.56164, -70.44009).
		+
		+	Day 05
		+	OH {06-02} [29.1] + [20]
		+	Lagunas aqua caliente day.
		+	An easy day with a lot of time spent at Aqua Caliente, true to the name.
		+	Trail from camp was easy to follow until (-35.53519, -70.46551) and then it went CC to the Laguna. If shelter is needed in this open landscape we found a rock shelter here (-35.51276, -70.51035). The Laguna was fabulously warm. Tomás found the proper source of the spring here (-35.50395, -70.52347). After this Laguna there is a nasty and windy sand stretch until a creek located here (-35.48980, -70.57667). On this stretch I chose not to follow the sand but detoured on more solid ground to the east (-35.48839, -70.56200) and was glad I did. Later on we found snow melt here (-35.48544, -70.59940) and loaded all the water we would need for night/morning and exploring Nevada Chico the next day.
		+
		+	Day 06
		+	OH {06-02} [20] + {06-02C Chico} + [4.5]
		+	Nevado Chico + Nevando Colorado (Tomás)
		+
		+	Went up and around the crater of Nevado Chico in the morning which I highly recommend. The crater is easy to walk around and gives an amazing 360 experience. The climb up is tedious scree but makes for a super fast decent. Make sure you have enough water because water is scarce there. I saw a waterfall on the NE side the lake but did not go to it, Tomás got water somewhere off trail around here (-35.51226, -70.65626) and I drank out of the next lake -35.52036, -70.65873 (questionable).
		+	From the lake the next pass begins and I stupidly made Tomás and I carry 5L of water up it because I did not think there would be water on the south side...I was wrong, no water high up but lots of water down low. For the pass we opted not to follow the route because it was thick sand so we instead climbed a more solid ridge here (-35.52506, -70.66854). Tomás went to continue up Nevando Colorado and I boringly traversed to the normal pass and enjoyed a very fun sand ski down the south side. This pass would be very tiresome climbing up due to sand. If you are coming from the opposite direction and do not trust the lagoon water then you should aim for (-35.51226, -70.65626) and or bring water.
		+
		+	Everything this day was CC. I found it to be the hardest day navigation wise but still not troublesome. We finished the day in a nice Valley before the next days climb here (-35.55427, -70.70793). The water around this area is a bit Sandy but better further up.
		+
		+	Day 07
		+	Last pass and New route possibly
		+
		+	From camp a trail existed to the pass at -35.55228, -70.73791. There was a little bit of snow at the top but since there was already steps made it was zero problem. Lots of water on the SE of this pass but only a trickle of water on the NW side at -35.54575, -70.75672. This water trickle point is where we left the trail to make a short cut to Descabezado. To our surprise our route worked and in 4hrs we were making a camp at 2630m next to the approach trail to Descabezado,therefore saving time and elevation. In our route there was only one difficulty and that was a deep gorge and creek "jump" at -35.57904, -70.77929. Personally I would not recommend this in early season because the consequence of falling in the river would take you down a waterfall. The gorge is fed by the glacier in the crater of Descabezado so in the morning it should be better but the water is very dirty.
		+
		+	I drew the route on my photos of the pass if anyone wants them. Otherwise here is my description of our pass.
		+
		+	From the small trickle creek at -35.54575, -70.75672 head SW up the creek bed in the direction of this easy pass ***-35.55513, -70.76977. Nearbye spots would work except for the pass directly above the creek bed, the other side of that one had snow and rocks. After this pass I believe it is easiest to just go straight down and up like a half pipe rather than trying to traverse and keep elevation, we aimed for a middle looking plateau on the otherside, this middle plateau took us to the proper crossing of the gorge here, -35.57923, -70.77864 (más o menos). We jumped the gorge and climbed easily up the other side although the other side looks like a scramble it was actually just walking. We travesed this altitude for a little longer (although I would suggest easier walking a little lower) until we made camp in a ravene very close to the Descabezado approach route. Our camp even had a small amount of snow melt so it was heaven in my mind! (Camp with water; -35.59280, -70.78723).
		+
		+	Day 8
		+	Descabezado & Azul.
		+
		+	This is turning into a novel so I will keep this short. We left our tent in place and set off early to do Descabezado and Azul as a day trip. Descabezado was straightforward, it seems the trail will change slightly every year depending on who makes the tracks. If wanting to make the true summit it looks like you have to go down into the crater, cross the glacier and approach it from the other side. Coming down Descabezado was very fast but we made a Huge mistake and left the trail to follow the other osm route that heads east then west called "Descabezado Grande - Quizapu - cerro Azul".
		+
		+	This route should be avoided for many reasons apart from the fact the other route is easier despite elevation gain (we took the other route back). This osm route took us here -35.61301, -70.75604 which was actually a glacier covered in sand with a small hanging glacier above causing a lot of rockfall, it was a very ugly place and we carefully got out of there and made or way to the proper route to Azul. Despite loosing almost 2hourd on an already tight day we continued (although I wasted an extra 30min due to making up my mind🙄). Once again on the way up to Azul we did not follow the normal way but went to the east side of the crater of Azul where the bad osm route is. There were a foot print here and there but it was CC. The crater was amazing but too windy too enjoy, we saw a few fumaroles. We continued CC to the base of Azul, a tiny bit of snow but posed no difficulties. The base of Azul is beautiful with melt water if needed. We followed the ridge to Azul, it was more involved than Descabezado but no more than a low 3rd class. There is a interesting summit tower on Azul but because of the wind and time we had no desire to stretch our limits. Weather moved in fast and before we were off the ridge of Azul we were completely covered in a white out, maybe maximum 10m of visibility. Navigation was incredibly hard but we took or chances and took the GPT route down and luckily bit was a very easy route and we were down below the clouds and able to see again. The rest of the night was CC back to our camp ~1030pm. Twas a good day.
		+
		+	Day 9.
		+
		+	From our camp in the ravene we headed CC and then onto the trail that lead to the puesto near Descabezado and from then on we were on a good trail. While walking down we opted to stay in sandals and just walk in the river, it was refreshing. We didn't have clean water until the valley bottom at the CONAF camp (valley El venado) where there was also lots of pear trees and plum trees. Many people there (first people seen). We made camp at the river before the pass (Mirador del valle del venado) but the walk from the CONAF camp until then was slower than expected because it was along a river bed with confusing tracks.
		+
		+	Day 10.
		+
		+	Good trail up and down from Mirador del valle del venado with lots of water and trees for shade. Took us almost half the time we thought it would take. Note that you cannot actually camp at zone 06 on this trail. The CONAF guards asked us where we were coming from and when we said Maule he just sounded amused and let us go on our way. There was a decent restaurant with empanadas, beer ext near the bus stop . There was a posted schedule of the bus but it clearly did not follow this schedule so if you are there just ask the many locals around what time the bus comes, we caught the 1230 bus.
		+
		+	Great trip, beautiful views and details and just the right amount of challenge.

	Joining section 6 directly from the previous one with a little challenging connection trail (see our comment from section 5), we continued to the Hot Spring del Azufre. On the way there is one steep traverse. We used hot spring to cook our rice which really saved us as we run out of gas. The landscape on the whole section is amazing, we really enjoyed it! Ascent to the pass is nice and gradual, hiking in the sand is a little slower, but the opposite when going down. We camped at the El Estadio, almost no wind that day, great place to sleep . In the morning we continued on a nice and easy trail, great views around the volcanos… short break by the laguna thats great for swimming. We camped a little before the camp marked in the gps, there is one place, probably used by arrieros, with a fireplace and a few rocks around it. Being out of the gas we set a fire using wood that was already in there and some others we gather during the day. The view to the volcanos must be one of the best we have seen here so far! The next day we continued to the last Hornitos pass and through the valley, again really nice hiking on a clear trail. Last few kms on the road and since we missed the only bus to Talca that is leaving early in the morning (7:00) and did not have luck with hitchhiking, we stayed in a camp right next to the road. Its just a few meters before it, in the same direction we came from. On the left side is a house with some old advertisment sign (coca-cola or similir) on its fence, and the lady there has a small shop. The camp is on the other side - cold shower, toilets, electricity and access to the river, all for 5000 for 2 people. We even got sandwiches for dinner as there was no other place around to eat. Overall, when combining both sections we recommend to plan carefully, but its definitely worth the effort, especially this section 6.
