Itinerary description
A good hike, many kilometers without trail. Not difficult, but water is a problem.
We were going to make the whole ridge traverse to Melipilla, but there was only one weak water supply point on the ridge (near the camp) .
Made in ultralight (2.9 kg base weight + 4 liters of water)
A good idea to try this route in September - November. Be cool and stay safe!
