Cambios

If you do not insist in hiking all trail sections in the correct sequence then you have more options when and where to start. If you want to leave before December and you have a packraft you may in example set out in late October or November in Coñaripe as we did. This is the start of section 11 and the first of the six packraft sections. Starting with this section before December give you the advantage of floating down the river Caucuá with a comfortable high river-water-level during snow melt. Once you reached the finish of section 16 your can travel by bus to the start of section 1 an hike all the way to the point where you started the track.

On sections 6 to 10 the trail crosses the Araucaria tree range. During February, March and April the cones of this trees can be harvested and provide a nutritious supplementary food. If possible arrange to cross sections 6 to 10 during these months.
