To the knowledge of the author the Greater Patagonian Trail is the first and currently only long distance hiking trail in South America that exceeds 500 mile or 800 km, that is documented in detail, is continuous without any trail gaps and largely avoids roads with transit traffic. For other particular long distance trails in the Andes see [[#Other notable Long Distance Trails and Hikes|Other notable Long Distance Trails and Hikes]].
