If you plan to hike the entire trail in the correct sequence starting with '''section 1 ''' than you should leave in December, ideally in the '''second half of December'''.
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 you may in example set out in '''late October or November ''' with '''section 11 ''' in Liquiñe (Hiking-Only-Option) or in Reyehueico or Coñaripe (both Packraft-Option) as we did.
