On the first sections several rivers and high passes and rivers need to be crossed. Snow and In particular high river-water-levels during snowmelt may make this the river crossings difficult and dangerous until early December. Therefore leaving before December may put you in risk when crossing rivers and passes. If you leave after December you may be surprised by the heralds of the winter before reaching the finish.

If you do not insist in hiking all trail sections in the correct sequence you have more options when and where to start. If you have a packraft you may in example set out already in late October or November with at the start of section 11 in Coñaripe (first packraft section). This also give you the advantage of floating down the river Caucuá with a comfortable high river-water-level during snow melt (section 11). Once you reached the finish of section 16 your can travel by bus to the start of section 1 and complete the trail without carrying the packraft any more.
