| The trail file update from 2016 resolves this issue. If you use the last trail file update from 2016 you will be guided around this overgrown area. <br> <br> Comment to outdate trail files from 2015: <br> <br> Based on recent feedbacks the section between the waypoints "Diversion (GPT12-WP020)" and "Trail Start (GPT12-WP023)" is badly overgrown and very difficult pass. Therefore this section should only be attempted by a group of at least two persons with sufficient reserve food and time that want to "dive" into the Valdivian rain forest. All other hikers should bypass section 12 by bus. <br> <br> Hikers who attempt this section should carefully search a suitable connection between the two above mentioned waypoints and carry a machete to clean the overgrown trail. Whenever using a machete care should be taken to not leave misguiding cut marks. Keep in mind that hikers after you will follow your cut marks therefore clearly block "death end" trails and leave clear signs i.e. cut marks that guide others after you along a suitable route. <br> <br> The trail file update from 2016 resolves this issue.

| The trail file update from 2016 resolves this issue. If you use the last trail file update from 2016 you will be guided around this densly overgrown area but some bushwalking is still required. <br> <br> Comment to outdate trail files from 2015: <br> <br> Based on one recent feedback the ascent to the waypoint "Pass (GPT17-WP101)" is badly overgrown and very difficult pass. Also the Huella Andina trail from the start of section 17 along the eastern side of the Lago Puelo was partly damaged by a large wild fire in January and February 2015. Therefore this section should only be attempted by a group of at least two persons with sufficient reserve food and time. All other hikers should bypass section 17 by bus. <br> <br> Hikers who attempt this section should should carry a machete to clean the overgrown trail. Alternatively ask the local settlers to guide you i.e. to get up to the ridge and walk along the tree-less ridge to the waypoint "Pass (GPT17-WP101)". A other option is trying an alternative trail shortly before the waypoint "Bridge (GPT17-WP010)" that that follows the valley "Derrumbe". To the knowledge of the author this trail also becomes overgrown after 6 to 7 km but may connect after a difficult to pass part with the waypoint "Camp (GPT17-WP105)".
