==Season 2025/26==
'''GPT 12 / 2026 March 10 to 14 / 4.5 days / Hiking / SOBO / RR, 03D, 04reverse, RR / Oriol Girona'''
I combined GPT11 and GPT12 (joined at km 9.2 coming from 11-01). 6 days total
Awesome week on the trail, so many highlights!: camp at baños Cayuco (hot spring and piñones falling around), the trail from there to laguna Mariñanqui, the ridge on option 03D (and the feeling to be giving back to the GPT), the camp at {12-I} [1.5/1675], a long 2nd breakfast at Puesto Maximiliano [72.1/1549], or the final night at laguna verde. All in good weather. Just love it!
Puesto {12} [67.2/1822] is abandoned.
There is a Puesto in laguna Verde (-38.51827, -70.98890) I.opted to camp at the other end of the lake (grassy spot with a pit fire and 2 wooden benches)
In Licura I stayed for at Hospedaje Normita, 15.000 CLP p/night. Recommended.
Good stocked shop where to ressuply: 'Donde Carlitos' (and money echange), by the border control.
Attractiveness 5/5 Difficulty 3/5
NOTE ON 12-03D:
Jan suggested that It would be useful if someone investigates this connection. Here are my comments afterwards:
-On good whether, easy hike and beautifull views till the Puesto (easier than 11-01 or 09-RR final Kms to TrapaTrapa). From the Puesto, an easy downhill through forest on TL+MR . A good candidate to become RR.
-From the highest point of the CC (about km 3.5 from start 03D, 2173m on OSM map), you see the puesto, and its an easy CC on an straight line (the suggeated route, keeps following the main ridge).
-At the Puesto I met the puestero and had a nice chat with him. Looks like he will be ok with hikers passing by. There is limited phone signal and limited water (that he gets with a pipe from far away).
- First water I found since RR [52.2/1335], was a tiny creek bekow the Puesto at (-38.41893, -71.06664), looks also ok for camp. Next water further down at (-38.41971, -71.05494).
