The generally recommended trekking direction is southbound even if most sections can be hiked in either direction.  Some sections require a an entrance permit if you hike northbound. This limitation applies to section 1, 2-3, and 12. Without an entrance permit you may be “kicked out” but only in the direction you are walking anyway.  Also for section 11 the southbound limitation appliesbut for a different reason. Only in this direction you can float down the river Caucuá with your packraft. If you want to hike section 11 northbound you need to take a rather boring dirt road with some traffic. For section 15 the recommended trekking direction is also southbound. If you go south you can ask shortly before reaching the Lago Todos Los Santos a local settler for a private boat transfer. In the other direction this may not work that easy. So if you do not have a packraft or if you are unsure that you really want to cross such a rather large lake with a tiny boat go southbound.
