<br style==Images==[http"clear:both" //www.panoramio.com/user/7876187?show=best Here you find a selection of images from all 16 sections of the Greater Patagonian Trail.]>
<br style==Expected Duration==Hiking the complete trail requires approx. 90 to 120 days. This inculdes some rest days and resupply bus trips to nearby towns."clear:both" />
==Recommended SeasonIntroduction==If you plan to do the entire trail starting with section 1 you should leave in December.
The Main Route currently spans approximately 5'000 km and the entire route network (including all options) contains more than 20'000 km of tracks.
If this introduction quickened your appetite to explore this network of trails then don't stop reading here and don't pack your backpack yet. The GPT is quite different from what you might expect. Especially if you have thru-hiked the famous long-distance trails in the US (i.e. the Appalachian Trail, the Pacific Crest Trail or the Continental Divide Trail) or if you walked on the European pilgrimage trails (i.e. the Camino de Santiago) don't assume that the GPT will be a similar experience and that you are already prepared for it. This region and this route network is unequal in nature. Some best practices and habits that are important on established trails in the US and Europe would be foolish in Patagonia. Other skills and aptitudes are essential to truly appreciate the Greater Patagonian Trail.
Since I started publishing the GPT, I consulted and surveyed more than one hundred people that attempted to walk major parts of the trail. The majority were absolutely amazed by the land, the people and their experience on the trail. But some hikers quickly aborted or changed their plans. In consequence they missed the best parts of the trail. Interestingly, some of these were experienced hikers and athletic walkers.
In the [http://bit.ly/GPTguide Hikers Manual] I try to rectify potential incorrect assumptions and outline the essentials for hiking and packrafting on this trail network. You should also read the publications of other hikers and packrafters to learn from the diverse experiences on the Greater Patagonian Trail.
The Hikers’ Manual is the primary source of information for the GPT and can be downloaded free of charge at: http://bit.ly/GPTguide
The Hikers’ Manual consists of three parts:

===The Base Camp Descabezado Grande is frequently visited by national and international tourists coming from Vilches Alto. Also horseback tours often stop and rest here.GPT Track Files===
The Hikers'''Lake (GPT01-WP013)''': Laguna Las ÁnimasManual provides in chapters 3.7 Distinct Contributors and 3. You may camp at 8 Publications to the lake but there is little shelter from windGPT a collection of links to videos and blogs that I consider particularly useful.
The Greater Patagonian Trail is not a hiking trail. Yes, you read correctly so let me repeat one more time: '''Lake (GPT01-WP017)The GPT is not a hiking trail.''': Laguna Mondaca.
This trail is therefore not suitable for hikers who are out to race a clock, or those that need full control and measure their success in kilo¬meters or miles. It'''River Crossing (GPT01-WP037)''': Easy river crossings for hikers for whom completion is irrelevant, and instead count their enjoyable and eventful days in a pristine and diverse environment. It’s a trail for thoughtful discoverers who can accept being guests and not dominators.
'''Trail Head (GPT01-WP039)All this makes the GPT a discovery network with a good portion of unpredictability but an impressive authenticity.''': Trail head (or end). Turn right onto the hydropower station road.
In contrast, when reaching Patagonia, get ready for frequent and enduring rain. Also, don'''GPT01t expect to walk high up in the mountains in the heartland of Patagonia as there is simply no continuously high mountain range. In Patagonia high mountains are rather like islands that are surrounded by dense temperate rainforest in the west and a semi-TR011desert-2''': Follow like Pampa in the rarely used gravel road towards east. These island-like mountains are separated by wide valleys that were carved by giant glaciers during past glacial periods. The wide valleys are now partly filled with lakes that drain their water in powerful rivers into the hydropower station CipresesPatagonian fjords. Once Therefore, “real Patagonia” is best traveled by packraft because a packraft gets you reach the now unpopulated settlement you have to choose between two optionson these lakes, rivers and fjords.
