Cambios

The Greater Patagonian Trail was first hiked from On November 12, 2013 to February 23, 2014 by I started with my girlfriend Meylin Ubilla in Coñaripe. We both had no previous long distance hiking experience and Jan Dudecknever used a packraft before.   During this first hike of the trail hike we had a few route seek detours were required moments of doubt because the route planning with satellite images was limited disappeared several times in densely wooded areasimpenetrable forest. But we always managed to find passable trail even if it meant returning a day’s hike. After about half the trail I became a bit concerned that we may run out of time before reaching our goal. But we kept going on steady pace without worrying too much.  On February 23, 2014 we finally arrived again in Coñaripe were we set out a 104 days before. Our GPS indicating roughly 1'600 km and 50'000 m of climb when we arrived and we actually walked on 80 days.   The now published trail elimintates this eliminates the seek detours and can hiked by any experienced hiker with sufficent sufficient endurance and the proper equipment.
