L'arrivée à la CONAF est une longue montée avec pas mal de tournents en épingle sur du ripio mais se fait bien même sans 4x4 ! Nous avons eu 0 problèmes avec notre Peugeot Boxer. Au centre CONAF, 2 gardiens nous ont expliqués en détails les différentes randonnées, super parc !
The arrival at CONAF is a long climb with a lot of hairpin turns on ripio but is easy even without 4x4! We had 0 problems with our Peugeot Boxer. At the CONAF center, 2 guards explained the different hikes to us in detail, great park!
Report Check-InWe made it up to this place with our 7,5 t Van, rear Wheel drive is necessery! Road realy steep, But we where lucky: dry wonderfull weather. The views are marvelous. The mirador Afquintue 800 m beforsten entrance is a „ Mist do“!!!!
Report Check-Ini dont think you can get past the first few steep parts without 4x4. afterwards it's an easy road.
Report Check-InCamped aside the road, next to the bridge across the small river. The Refugio area was very busy (it is high season), but there are a few spots with moderate solitude nearby.
It is a very nice place to camp. The road from here to the top Refugio and hiking trail is another 5km, and fairly steep with a few deep ruts early on. However with high clearance it is possible to do without 4x4 if it is dry.
The hikes are great. And the river and forest are very peaceful.
Report Check-InCamped next to the deck and grill platform next to the refugio. No one around to collect fees or get info about the hikes on Dec 10. 2017. Very peaceful spot. The dirt road up to this point was steep but in good condition. Beautiful drive with great views of Lake Riñihue and Volcanoes Choshuenco and Mocho.
From this point on you can drive further up the maintain on a 4x4 road all the way to the trailhead to the glacier. We were only able to drive 1.6 km due to road being blocked by snow. Rough road. 4x4 and high clearance recommended.
