Cambios

I have written most of this trail description in 2015. Since then we returned twice to Patagonia to hike and investigated paddle the southern extension all the way to the Southern Patagonian Icefield and we investigated various alternative routesin the northern and central area of this trail. Other hikers have walked the northern extension to Santiago and contributed with GPS records to refine the regular route and numerous optional side tracks. With this the GPT has grown from approximately 1500 km doubled in length to approximately 3000 km and I'm currently updating the entire trail descriptionnumber and length of all the additional options is growing exponentially.

To I'm now updating the entire trail documentation to incorporate all these extensions , trail corrections and additional options. Due to the northern extension the section numbering is changing completely and I'm also improving the track nomenclature to facilitate a better understanding and documentation of the countless options. But this This results currently in inconsistencies while the update is ongoing. Please have this in mind when continuing to read.
