Cambios

What also distinguishes the GPT from many other long distance hiking trails is that it is not a single trail but a partially wide network of tracks with many options. For some hikers this is confusing as you cannot just follow one trail but you need to make many choices along the way. But because the GPT is an informal trail network these choices are sometimes essential to continue your journey when you find one route not passable or closed. Then you can backtrack and divert and try a different trail. For safety reasons I have also included bad weather options and exit routes that get you out of the mountains to the next village or at least to the next road. These additional tracks are not recommended for hiking since they are often not particular attractive but having these tracks on your GPS can save you in adverse conditions.
