==Access to Route and Return==
Hikers that walk GPT33H and its adjacent sections with continuous footsteps can resupply in Cerro Castillo, Puerto Ingeniero Ibañez and Chile Chico and do not need to leave the trail to resupply.
===Access to Start===
Villa Cerro Castillo: Villa Cerro Castillo is served by several bus companies that travel daily the Carretera Austral between Coyhaique and Cochrane.
Diversion near Lago Verde: If you hike southbound and wish to shorten the initial road walking consider taking one of the buses that travel the Carretera Austral southbound and start walking just after Lago Verde. This saves 17 km of road walking.
===Return from Finish===
Puerto Ingeniero Ibañez: The ferry over Lago General Carrera connects Puerto Ingeniero Ibanez with Chile Chico and does two round trips each day; one in the morning and one the evening. Buses to and from Coyhaique align with these ferries. See GPT34H for more information.
Diversion Levican: Monday and Friday a subsidised bus does two round trips from Puerto Ingeniero Ibanez to Levican and back; one in the morning and one in the evening. Taking this bus saves 25 km of road walking. Alternatively, you may ask for a translado (private transport) in Puerto Ingeniero Ibañez.
===Escape Options===
Between Cerro Castillo and the western terminus of Lago Laparent hikers may aboard a traverse by walking north to the Carretera Austral by either taking OH-MR-V@33H-03A-#001 or OH-MR-V@33H-03B-#001 and OH-MR-V@33H-03B-#002. After the western terminus of Lago Laparent there is no escape route that provides a short cut out of this mountain range. All optional routes are more demanding and not verified and should not be taken if distressed.
In case of an emergency settlers might provide help with horses and the Carabineros might arrange an evacuation from Puerto Avellano by motor boat.
