&lt;br /&gt;
El '''Cerro Jorquencal''' (frecuentemente escrito también como ''Jorjencal'') es una cumbre volcánica de 4.926 msnm situada en el altiplano de la Región de Antofagasta, al noreste de San Pedro de Atacama. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Se trata de un cono volcánico erosionado de pendiente moderada y acarreos de ceniza y bloques de lava andesítica. Debido a su proximidad a la ruta de los Geysers del Tatio y a la posibilidad de aproximar en vehículo hasta cotas superiores a los 4.400 msnm, se ha consolidado como una de las mejores alternativas de media jornada para aclimatación progresiva previa a cumbres de más de 5.500 msnm, tales como el [[Cerro Toco]], el [[Volcán Láscar]] o el [[Volcán Sairecabur]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Época adecuada ==&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Otoño y primavera (marzo a mayo y septiembre a noviembre):''' Corresponden a los períodos más estables, con vientos moderados y cielos habitualmente despejados.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Invierno (junio a agosto):''' Días muy fríos, con temperaturas que caen con frecuencia bajo los -10 °C al amanecer y vientos constantes del oeste. Puede presentarse nieve dura o penitentes esporádicos en quebradas sombrías.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Verano (diciembre a marzo):''' Período del fenómeno meteorológico conocido como invierno altiplánico. Se caracteriza por mañanas despejadas y desarrollo convectivo de tormentas eléctricas, granizo y chubascos de nieve a partir de media tarde. En esta fecha es obligatorio iniciar el ascenso a primera hora de la mañana y estar fuera de las zonas altas antes del mediodía.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Acceso ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== En vehículo propio o contratado ===&lt;br /&gt;
Desde San Pedro de Atacama, salir hacia el norte por la ruta pavimentada B-245 en dirección a los Geysers del Tatio. Se asciende gradualmente pasando por el desvío a Guatín (km 20) y la localidad de Machuca (km 40). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aproximadamente 5 km al noreste de Machuca, en una zona de planicies y bofedales de altura, se desprende una huella vehicular secundaria de tierra hacia el este en dirección a los faldeos occidentales del cerro. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Se recomienda transitar con vehículo con tracción en las cuatro ruedas (4x4) o chasis elevado, dado que los caminos secundarios presentan sectores con arena suelta y calaminas. El vehículo se estaciona al término de la huella transitable, aproximadamente a 4.400 msnm, al pie de la ladera suroeste.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== En transporte público y autostop ===&lt;br /&gt;
No existe transporte público regular directo hacia el inicio de la caminata. Quienes no dispongan de vehículo propio pueden contratar un traslado privado o un tour guiado desde San Pedro de Atacama, o bien tomar los minibuses matutinos que van al Tatio para solicitar una parada en el cruce de Machuca, requiriendo luego una caminata de aproximación adicional considerable.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Ascenso ===&lt;br /&gt;
Desde el punto de estacionamiento (4.400 msnm), la marcha comienza remontando en dirección noreste sobre laderas compuestas de arena volcánica y material suelto. Si bien no existe un sendero demarcado de forma continua, se aprecian huellas intermitentes dejadas por montañistas y fauna local.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Tramo 1 (Base al filo):''' Se avanza zigzagueando sobre terreno de acarreo fino buscando las zonas con piedras más firmes para optimizar el paso. Tras superar una pendiente sostenida de entre 25° y 30°, se alcanza el filo suroeste a los 4.700 msnm.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Tramo 2 (Filo a la cumbre):''' La ruta continúa montada sobre el lomo del filo con pendiente algo más suave pero expuesta al viento. El terreno alterna bloques de roca volcánica estable con gravilla. Los últimos 100 metros de desnivel conducen a un promontorio rocoso que marca la parte superior del cono.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Cumbre y Descenso ===&lt;br /&gt;
La cumbre (4.926 msnm) se encuentra coronada por un hito de piedras (apacheta). Ofrece una vista circular despejada de los principales colosos de la cordillera volcánica circundante: hacia el norte destacan el complejo Putana y el Cerro Colorado; hacia el este se aprecian los salares fronterizos y la silueta del Licancabur y Juriques; hacia el oeste se extienden los llanos de la puna atacameña.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
El descenso se realiza por la misma ladera suroeste. En lugar de seguir la línea rocosa del filo, es posible aprovechar los neveros (si los hay) o descender directamente deslizándose con pasos largos y amortiguados por los bancos de acarreo blando, lo que reduce el tiempo de bajada a menos de una hora.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Equipamiento recomendado ==&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Calzado:''' Botas o zapatillas de media montaña con suela rígida y caña que proteja contra el ingreso de arena y piedras sueltas.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Bastones de trekking:''' Imprescindibles para mantener el equilibrio en pendientes de acarreo tanto en subida como en bajada.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Vestimenta por capas:'''&lt;br /&gt;
** Primera capa térmica transpirable.&lt;br /&gt;
** Segunda capa de abrigo (polar o micropolar).&lt;br /&gt;
** Tercera capa cortaviento e impermeable.&lt;br /&gt;
** Chaqueta de pluma o fibra sintética para descansos y cumbre.&lt;br /&gt;
** Guantes de viento o abrigo liviano y gorro térmico.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Protección solar:''' Lentes de montaña con protección UV categoría 3 o 4, sombrero para el sol, bloqueador solar factor 50+ y protector labial.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Hidratación y alimentación:''' Al menos 2 litros de agua por persona (el aire de altura es extremadamente seco) y raciones de marcha ricas en hidratos de carbono (frutos secos, barras de cereal, geles o chocolates).&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Seguridad:''' Botiquín básico con vendas y apósitos para ampollas, linterna frontal con baterías de repuesto y teléfono satelital o comunicador inReach recomendado para grupos autónomos.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Recomendaciones de aclimatación ==&lt;br /&gt;
Para ascender de forma segura y evitar el Mal Agudo de Montaña (puna):&lt;br /&gt;
# Permanecer al menos dos o tres noches previas a una altura de 2.400 msnm (como San Pedro de Atacama).&lt;br /&gt;
# Realizar excursiones progresivas en días anteriores (por ejemplo: Valle de la Luna a 2.500 m, Guatín a 3.200 m o Machuca a 4.000 m).&lt;br /&gt;
# Hidratar abundantemente el día previo (mínimo 3 litros de líquidos sin alcohol ni cafeína).&lt;br /&gt;
# Monitorear síntomas tempranos como cefalea pulsátil intensa, náuseas persistentes o mareos; si se manifiestan, la indicación inmediata es no continuar ascendiendo y descender de cota.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Permisos y tarifas ==&lt;br /&gt;
El Cerro Jorquencal se sitúa en terrenos de pastoreo y uso tradicional de comunidades indígenas atacameñas asociadas al sector de Machuca y alrededores. Aunque al día de hoy no cuenta con caseta de cobro específica ni control de guardaparques para la cumbre misma, es imprescindible mantener el respeto por los senderos ganaderos, no alterar pircas ni sitios arqueológicos y llevarse absolutamente todos los residuos producidos.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Contratar Guías ==&lt;br /&gt;
Para quienes no cuenten con vehículo 4x4, equipo logístico de montaña o deseen realizar la actividad con guiado y protocolos de seguridad (oximetría y primeros auxilios en zonas remotas), es posible coordinar la salida con operadores especializados en San Pedro de Atacama:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Descripción General==&lt;br /&gt;
El Cerro Toco (5.604 msnm) es un antiguo estratovolcán inactivo que forma parte del Complejo Volcánico Puricó. Es ampliamente considerado la ascensión de más de 5.000 metros más accesible de todo el norte de Chile y la zona de San Pedro de Atacama. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gracias a la presencia de caminos de acceso vehicular vinculados a las instalaciones astronómicas del Llano de Chajnantor (como ALMA y el Atacama Cosmology Telescope) y a una antigua faena de extracción de azufre, es posible comenzar la caminata sobre los 5.200 msnm. Por ello, el desnivel a pie ronda apenas los 400 metros por un sendero con pendiente moderada y terreno firme, convirtiéndolo en la montaña escuela predilecta de la zona para quienes buscan aclimatarse de cara a objetivos de mayor envergadura (como el Volcán Láscar, Sairecabur, Licancabur u Ojos del Salado) o para montañistas que desean superar la barrera de los 5.000 metros por primera vez.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
En lengua ''kunza'', la palabra ''tocko'' significa «rincón». Desde su cima se disfruta de una vista aérea inigualable del Volcán Licancabur, el Volcán Juriques, la Laguna Verde en Bolivia y la inmensidad del Llano de Chajnantor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{Epoca adecuada para cerros altos cerca de san pedro de Atacama}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Acceso==&lt;br /&gt;
===En vehículo propio===&lt;br /&gt;
Desde San Pedro de Atacama (km 0), tomar la ruta internacional 27 CH en dirección al Paso de Jama (Argentina), completamente pavimentada y en excelente estado. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
El camino asciende sostenidamente internándose en la Puna de Atacama. Tras recorrer aproximadamente 48 kilómetros, justo en las inmediaciones del Llano de Chajnantor y antes del desvío hacia el Hito Cajón / frontera boliviana, se debe abandonar el pavimento hacia la derecha tomando el camino de ripio que conduce a las antenas e instalaciones astronómicas (hacia el Parque Astronómico Atacama / cerro Toco).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
El camino de tierra sube faldeando en dirección al Toco. Se pasa junto a vestigios de una antigua azufrera y diversas instalaciones científicas. Es necesario continuar subiendo por la huella hasta el sector donde termina el camino transitable para vehículos de turismo común, en torno a los 5.190 m - 5.200 m de altitud, punto donde se puede estacionar e iniciar la caminata. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aunque el ripio suele estar en relativo buen estado por el mantenimiento a los proyectos científicos, se recomienda un vehículo alto o 4x4 debido a la pendiente y a la presencia ocasional de rocas sueltas o sectores con calamina.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===En transporte público y autostop===&lt;br /&gt;
No existe locomoción colectiva hacia el Cerro Toco. La única opción para quienes no cuentan con vehículo propio es contratar una excursión con agencia local en San Pedro de Atacama o coordinar un servicio de arriendo de camioneta 4x4 o traslado privado desde Calama o San Pedro.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Descripción de la ruta==&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Inicio:''' km 0 - 5.195 msnm (estacionamiento base / antigua azufrera).&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Cumbre:''' km 1,75 - 5.604 msnm.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Desde el estacionamiento vehicular, el sendero es evidente y arranca por la cara sur de la montaña, remontando suavemente una quebrada amplia con terreno de tierra y acarreos compactos.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Primer portezuelo (5.350 m): El sendero gana altitud en zig-zags tendidos hasta alcanzar un primer filo o portezuelo. En este tramo se rodea una formación rocosa por su vertiente oriental para ingresar a una planicie intermedia o ''plateau''.&lt;br /&gt;
# Plateau y segundo portezuelo: Se atraviesa el falso llano manteniendo rumbo norte hacia el collado ubicado bajo la antecumbre.&lt;br /&gt;
# Arista final y cumbre (5.604 m): Desde el segundo portezuelo, la huella gira hacia el oeste (izquierda) ganando la antecumbre. Por un filo rocoso pero sin exposición técnica ni pasos de escalada, se arriba al punto más alto, marcado por una pirca de piedras y restos ceremoniales / de cumbre.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
El descenso se realiza por la misma huella utilizada de subida, o bien aprovechando los acarreos blandos directos hacia el estacionamiento, lo que permite un retorno sumamente rápido y sin mayor dificultad.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tiempo esperado===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ascenso: Entre 1½ y 2½ horas a ritmo constante y aclimatado.&lt;br /&gt;
* Descenso: De 30 a 50 minutos.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Permisos y Regulaciones==&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Obligatoriedad de guía:''' Para ascender al Cerro Toco es obligatorio contar con los servicios de un guía de montaña certificado y registrado (o agencia turística autorizada). Las autoridades locales y el control de la zona restringen el ascenso autónomo sin acreditación debido a los riesgos asociados a la altitud extrema (sobre 5.200 msnm) y a la cercanía con concesiones científicas y astronómicas del Llano de Chajnantor.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Registro y acceso vehicular:''' El ingreso por el camino secundario hacia las instalaciones astronómicas y la base del cerro puede estar sujeto a control. Los vehículos deben contar con tracción 4x4 y equipamiento de seguridad (oxígeno, botiquín de alta montaña y radiocomunicación).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Contratar Guías==&lt;br /&gt;
Dado que el ascenso requiere ir acompañado por un guía registrado, la forma estándar de realizar esta cumbre es contratando una excursión formal desde San Pedro de Atacama. Las salidas suelen programarse entre las 7:00 AM y 8:00 AM, regresando al pueblo a primera hora de la tarde (aprox. 14:00 - 15:00 hrs).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Contratar Guías==&lt;br /&gt;
El Cerro Toco es una de las ascensiones comerciales más demandadas de San Pedro de Atacama por su perfil accesible y alta tasa de éxito. La mayoría de las agencias inician la expedición entre las 7:00 AM y 8:00 AM, regresando al pueblo a primera hora de la tarde (aprox. 14:00 - 15:00 hrs).&lt;br /&gt;

** Teléfono: +56953336021&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Recomendaciones==&lt;br /&gt;
* Aclimatación estricta: A pesar del escaso desnivel físico, se camina íntegramente sobre los 5.200 msnm. No intentes ascender sin al menos 3 a 4 días previos de adaptación en altura en San Pedro de Atacama y alrededores.&lt;br /&gt;
* Agua e hidratación: No hay cursos ni vertientes de agua en toda la ruta. Cargar un mínimo de 2 a 2,5 litros por persona.&lt;br /&gt;
* Protección térmica y cortaviento: Debido a su altitud y apertura geográfica, es una montaña sumamente expuesta al viento blanco y a rachas frías del altiplano. Llevar capas térmicas, guantes abrigados, gorro y cortaviento.&lt;br /&gt;
* Radiación solar: La radiación UV a esta altitud en el desierto de Atacama es extrema; el uso de bloqueador solar factor 50+ y lentes de sol con filtro UV categoría 3 o 4 es obligatorio.&lt;br /&gt;
* Calzado: Bastan zapatillas de trekking de caña media o botas de montaña livianas. Los bastones de marcha son de gran utilidad tanto para el ritmo de subida en altura como para la bajada por acarreo.&lt;br /&gt;

En el '''km 9,5''' nace una bifurcación a la izquierda (sur) de la ruta, por la cual se debe continuar. La nueva ruta ya no es parte de la red nacional de vialidad y es muy arenosa, por lo que no se debe realizar si no se cuenta con vehículo 4x4. Desde la bifurcación entonces, son 4,2 kilómetros más (13,7 desde las termas) en dirección al suroeste hasta la espaciosa ex Hostería Murray, actual [[Refugios de Montaña|Refugio Claudio Lucero]], ubicada a 4527m.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Desde el Refugio Claudio Lucero, son 20,4 kms más hasta el Refugio Atacama, pero ahora en dirección sur. No hay como perderse, porque en el refugio existe un cartel que lo indica, así como un memorial de los fallecidos en el terremoto de febrero de 2010. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
El comienzo del camino está en buen estado, pero a medida que se comienza a ascender existen algunos tramos algo complicados, debido a la arena. A diferencia de las rutas en mal estado de la zona centro o sur, acá no hay mayor riesgo de dañar el vehículo con rocas que golpeen abajo, y la dificultad pasa por evitar quedarse atorado en la arena suelta. Pero en general, cualquier vehículo 4x4 con caja reductora de velocidad debiera poder llegar. En los tramos de terreno suelto, se requiere de una conducción firme y decidida, sin soltar el acelerador, y en marchas bajas, idealmente con la caja reductora de velocidad activa. Existen carteles que marcan el kilometraje cada dos kilómetros}}&lt;br /&gt;

==Descripción de la ruta==&lt;br /&gt;
===Día 1: Refugio Atacama - Refugio Tejos===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Perfil_ojos_del_salado.png|thumb|Perfil de ascenso al Ojos del Salado desde el Refugio Atacama]]&lt;br /&gt;
La ruta al la cumbre del Ojos del Salado es bastante obvia. Sobre todo este día, pues se sigue una ruta vehicular (aunque también existe un sendero algo más corto que sigue por la quebrada, acá se describe la ruta vehicular). Inmediatamente después del refugio, la ruta asciende muy claramente hacia el sureste. Al poco andar tuerce hacia el sur, y desde ahí se debe avanzar básicamente en dirección sur hasta llegar al refugio Cesar Tejos. Hay carteles que marcan la distancia remanente hasta dicho refugio. Son 3,9 kilómetros de caminata.&lt;br /&gt;
*Tiempo estimado: 2 a 3 horas. Al multiplicar x 3 y luego sumar 1 al tiempo que se tardó en llegar desde el Refugio Atacama a Tejos, se estima el tiempo que se tomará desde Tejos a la cumbre.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Atacama - Tejos en vehículo''': Desde fines de diciembre o enero, dependiendo del invierno, es normalmente posible llegar hasta el refugio Cesar Tejos en vehículo. El camino es [[estado del camino|malo a muy malo]], pero es perfectamente posible en un vehículo alto y con caja reductora de velocidades. IMPORTANTE: Inmediatamente después del Refugio Atacama, no se debe tomar la huella más clara y transitada, pues ésta se encuentra ya inhabilitada por el exceso de arena, sino que se debe tomar la huella menos marcada que discurre en forma paralela a la izquierda. Luego, una vez que se llega a la primera curva (aún visible desde el Refugio Atacama) no se debe seguir por la huella principal, sino que se debe dar la curva más amplia que nace hacia la izquierda y rodea la huella principal por arriba (de nuevo, la huella principal es demasiado arenosa y empinada).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Día 2: Refugio Tejos - Cumbre - Refugio Atacama===&lt;br /&gt;
Avanzar hacia el sur-sureste, en dirección hacia la gran ladera cuyo zig zag es parcialmente visible desde Tejos. En la primera parte del ascenso se aconseja usar la ruta creada por la maquinaria que realizó el rescate del helicóptero siniestrado en 1984 (y que explica la existencia del Refugio Cesar Tejos). La ruta es bastante intuitiva. Se pasa a los 6010 por un cartel con una flecha y a los 6080 por un segundo cartel que indica el camino a Tejos. A los 6100 se pasa por High Andes Rescue Unit, '''el refugio habitable más alto del mundo''', instalado en 2017 por una expedición alemana.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Una vez en la base de la gran ladera, se inicia el ascenso más pronunciado, y que representa el grueso del desnivel y del esfuerzo físico. La ruta zigzaguea hasta cruzar el nevero. No hay un único punto para cruzarlo, y el sendero deja de ser único. Se sugiere cruzarlo donde sea lo más angosto posible, lo que normalmente es en su tramo superior (a 6540m). Es necesario ponerse los crampones, por lo que es importante ir preparado con guantes adecuados para hacer eso bajo el intenso frío.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Una vez que se ha cruzado el nevero y se han sacado los crampones (en condiciones normales, se requieren sólo para ese tramo) el sendero es algo difuso, pero basta con continuar ascendiendo e ir girando gradualmente hacia el este. De ese modo, se llega al cráter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Una vez en el borde del cráter (6740m), la cumbre es al fin visible: es el promontorio de roca que está en dirección al sureste (desde este punto de vista, el que está a la DERECHA). Estamos a sólo 485 metros de caminata de ésta (sólo 320 en línea recta) pero la altitud hace que sean largos 485 metros. No hay que engañarse. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
El cráter se debe rodear caminando por su borde izquierdo (norte), siguiendo una clara huella que lleva hasta la zona de roca. En este lugar, normalmente hay cuerdas para facilitar el ascenso, pero se recomienda usarlas sólo como apoyo auxiliar y no cargar todo el peso sobre ellas, ya que es difícil saber cuánto tiempo llevan o el tipo de desgaste que han tenido. Tras una sencilla escalada, que una persona normal puede realizar sin necesidad de encordarse, se llega al filo. Este tramo demanda concentración y cuidado, porque está bastante expuesto. Por aquí se debe continuar hasta la cima, ubicada pocos metros más adelante, en la cual se encuentran restos de antenas, cruces y la caja del Banco de Chile con testimonios de cima&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tiempo estimado===&lt;br /&gt;
Podrá notarse que la ficha resumen de esta ruta señala 8 a 10 días de expedición, pero que el ascenso real a pie es sólo un día y medio: medio día desde el Refugio Atacama hasta el Refugio César Tejos, y luego un día de cumbre y retorno al Refugio Atacama. Los 8 a 10 días son sólo para añadir tiempo de aclimatación. Si uno llega aclimatado, el tiempo puede reducirse tanto como permita el nivel de aclimatación.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Permisos / Tarifas==&lt;br /&gt;
*Desde que la empresa Aventurismo perdió la concesión del Volcán Ojos del Salado, los chilenos no requieren de permisos ni pago de entradas para ascender a la cumbre por esta ruta. &lt;br /&gt;
{{DIFROL}} Muy importante destacar que, quizás de modo algo sorprendente, los carabineros del retén de Laguna Verde habitualmente '''SÍ EXIGEN MOSTRAR ESTA AUTORIZACIÓN'''.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Contratar Guías==&lt;br /&gt;
Es posible contratar a Chile Andes Expediciones (www.volcanojosdelsalado.com / gracias@volcanojosdelsalado.com), a Aventurismo, a Atacama Chile Tour Operador o Turismo Aventura Experiencia Atacama. Ver [[Volc%C3%A1n_Ojos_del_Salado#Acceso|sección acceso]] para los números de contacto.&lt;br /&gt;
Otra opción es contratar los servicios de [https://vulcanoexpediciones.com/expediciones/ascenso-al-volcan-ojos-del-salado Vulcano Expediciones].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Recomendaciones== &lt;br /&gt;
{{Tiempo incluye aclimatacion}}&lt;br /&gt;
* Una buena opción para un día de aclimatación es la agradable y escénica [[Circunvalación de Laguna Verde]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Notar que '''no es necesario llegar hasta Laguna Verde'''. La sección acceso se ha descrito llegando hasta Laguna Verde y luego retornando 60 kilómetros porque es un lugar inmejorable para aclimatar y muy bello. Sin embargo, si ya se está aclimatado, o bien se quiere aclimatar en otro sitio y no interesa conocer la laguna y sus termas, no es necesario llegar hasta allá. &lt;br /&gt;
* Es aconsejable llevar los implementos necesarios para rescatar el vehículo en caso de necesidad, sobretodo si se va en un sólo vehículo y fuera de temporada, pues el Refugio Atacama es un lugar muy, muy aislado: partidor (la batería puede resentir el frío), compresor, segunda rueda de repuesto, anticongelante. Si se va en varios vehículos, o si se va en plena temporada (enero y febrero) la necesidad disminuye, pero siempre es un riesgo, pues ninguna grúa llegará al rescate a ese lugar.&lt;br /&gt;
* Si se cuenta con compresor para volver a inflarlos, es recomendable disminuir la presión de los neumáticos para conducir hasta el Refugio Atacama.&lt;br /&gt;

*'''Sean M''' Hello Jan, thank you for putting all of your work into this resource, it really shows! My partner and I are planning a short hike for this Jan/Feb around Puerto Montt and we are really excited! We will just dip our toes this first trip, but we will surely be back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Eline M''' Hi Jan and everyone, After years of dreaming about Patagonia, I’m finally preparing to make it a reality. My current plan is to hike in January and February heading NOBO, starting around Puerto Natales. I’ll be traveling solo but I’d love to meet other hikers along the way or share parts of the route if our paths align. I’d be very grateful to receive the GPT track files to help finalize my planning. Thank you Jan and all contributors for the enormous effort put into building, documenting, and maintaining this incredible trail network. &lt;br /&gt;
*'''SebasAR''' Hola Jan and the GPT community. I am Sebastian, and currently planning my first-ever trip to Patagonia. I just found out about the GPT, and I am pretty excited to complete several sections. I learned a lot about the region, its peoples and customes, and other interesting facts from the manual. Thanks for the huge effort of making this route and community. Looking forward to becoming part of this community and contributing to it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Matt&amp;amp;Linda''' Hola Jan, we are looking forward to the hiking and cultural experience of the GPT! We learned a lot from the manual. We are already in Argentina and found some digüeñe! Thank you for all your work !&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Simon&amp;amp;Mila''' Hi Jan, thanks for the amazing work with the manual and the track files. Looking forward to go deep into patagonia ! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Alex&amp;amp;Aoife''' Hi Jan and GPT community :) My Partner and I are planning on hiking SOBO from Santiago Early January 2026. We would love access to the GPX files. Really appreciate all the collective effort that's gone into the manual too. Very special resource. Thanks alot !&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Isa&amp;amp;Sander''' Hi GPT community, we are two ecologists from the Netherlands and are travelling to Santiago at the end of November 2025 to hike parts of the GPT. We don't have a set time, so depending on our progress (and how many cool plants and other creatures will distract us ;) ), we will try to do more or less sections. We really look forward to experience the landscape and meet its people. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''pearcerichi''' Hello, we are Richard and Emeline, we are french, we plan to Come in Chile one month and half in the early 2026. It is our first Time in Chile. Like people of this community i guess, we like so much hiking paticularly in immersive natural and social environments. The reason why we were very glad to find a trail like GPT and a community like wikiexplora. Our first idea is to start by sections 06 to 12 this year. But maybe the plan might change during the process. Thanks à lot for all you have done to help us planning pour trip. Hope we might contribute. Best regards. Richard and Emeline &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''AriGPT''' Hello! I'm Ari, and I'm hoping to hike a few sections of the GPT over the course of roughly a month from mid-December 2025 until January 2026. I was in Patagonia about 4 years ago, and I was absolutely impressed by its beauty. I'm really excited to hopefully go back and I think the GPT would be an incredible opportunity to do so and see new places and appreciate the beauty of Patagonia.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Henrik G''' Hi Jan and the extended GPT community. I'm Henrik, from Norway, and I'm planning to spend a month hiking parts of the GPT early spring 2026. I learned about the GPT from a man I sailed with back in 2020, who was a long distance hiker (and also a captain on a sailing boat). We sailed together in Greenland where I especially appreciated the remoteness, the proper wilderness and the fact that your are self dependent and need to plan properly. I would like to request receiving the GPT track-files so I can start the detailed planning process. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Amy G''' Hi Jan. I was lucky enough to be invited to trek with a member that I met in Chile in 2024. We will start in January 2026 until the season is over. While he does the packraft sections, I will trek solo and meet up later. The more I read the Hiker's Manual, the more exited I am becoming, because I agree wholehartedly with the phylosophy. I would appreciate recieving the GPT files so I can plan and coordinate routes with my friend. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Lucie V''' Hi Jan and everyone, I’m Lucie from the Czech Republic. After four years, I’m coming back to Patagonia — a place that really became my second home for a while. I love nature and mountains and would like to experience some of the best parts of Chilean wilderness, while hiking and connecting with local people along the way. I plan to hike selected GPT sections from January to April 2026, heading southbound. I’ll be hiking solo but would be more than happy to meet and maybe join other hikers for parts of the journey.I’d be very grateful to receive the GPT files to be able to plan all the details. Thanks a lot to Jan and all the contributors for the amazing work on mapping and sharing this trail network!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Mor A.''' Hello everyone who might come across this :) My name is Mor, I have just graduated from my Masters in university and now it is my time to take my exploration to a new continent. After wondering through Europe and Israel I would like to do the same this season in South America. I have heard about the GPT from a freind in the Israeli Ultralight community and have fell in love. The idea of wondering through less accessed land with the opportunity of interacting with native communities off the beaten path of Patagonia makes me excited. I am currently looking at the section around GPT06 or further down south around El Chalten. With no clear plan I am looking for the GPX and KMZ files to better plan routes. Reading the user manual was such a relief that so much accurate and to the point information exist and now the files will be the final piece to my plans :)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Antoine B''' Hi, I'm Antoine from France. I just started a sabbatical, leaving space exploration for some time to explore Earth, spending more time in nature and mountains. For many years I have longed for travelling to Chile/Argentina, to discover its wild nature and culture (and finally practise my Spanish!). I read about the GPT earlier this year and it feels like an exciting balance between remote trekking, hiking/packrafting mix and an open adventure where encounters, weather, rivers and time hold surprises. I'll be in Santiago by late November 2025 and spend ~4 months on various sections of the trail: probably starting hiking/packrafting sections between 19-44 (SOBO) then going back to 05-12 at the end of the season. I will be happy to connect with other hikers on the way, and would be very grateful to receive the track files for planning. Thanks for your huge work Jan!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Julia&amp;amp;Oliver''' Julia is working on a charity project in Mendoza atm. When this finishes we'll hike for a few weeks. We'll start somewhere at Puerto Montt/Bariloche and hike NOBO. Where Julia is more the kind of &amp;quot;Duracell bunny&amp;quot;, I am looking more for really remote places where is no information at all available about the track. Discovering a handbook with 1300+ pages was kinda shock to me. 😅 &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
*'''Elisa B''' Hello everyone, my name is Elisa and I'm from Switzerland. I'm planning to hike the GPT between December and January. Why the GPT? I discovered this trail through a book by a French explorer. As I read through the pages, it became clear that Patagonia would be my next destination and I'll be tackling part of the GPT, as I've always wanted to walk long distances. I enjoy wild and authentic landscapes, contact with the local population, and having to fend for myself. Since I have little time to explore the region, I'm planning to spend about 2 months hiking the section between GPT20 and GPT40. Heading north. I'd be very grateful to receive the GPS files. Thanks a lot for your job on the GPT! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Pierrick G''' Hi Juan. 10/2025. I am currently exploring the South American continent with no fixed return date and a strong wish to immerse myself in the local culture. My motivation for hiking the Greater Patagonian Trail is to step off the beaten track and lose myself in nature, seeking an authentic, humble, and challenging way of life. I hope to leave no trace along my journey, connecting deeply with the environment where I am only a simple guest and a temporary visitor. For me, the trail is not only about adventure but also about respect, discovery, and becoming part of a wild and beautiful land, even if only for a while.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Edwin.     Hi Jan. I hope to be flying to Punta Arenas the 10th of november and intend to cherry pick some gpt sections. Hope to get a bit more done than just gpt12 and half a gpt33h two years ago! Of course I would be very happy to receive the latest gpt files.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Alma''' Hi Jan. I hiked three months on the GPT in 2017/18. An amazing experience! Since that time I am longing to explore other regions of Chile whilst on the GPT. I would really appreciate receiving the new track files in preparation for another three months on the GPT starting this mid-November. Thanks for all your research and for sharing your knowledge on thru-hiking (and packrafting) in Chile! &lt;br /&gt;

*'''Sandro''' Hi Jan. I am a pretty experienced bikepacker, and I usually create my own routes, but since I don't have that much experience doing this for thru-hiking, and there is already such an exhaustive and well-researched amount of information available, it would be silly not to acquire your files and start from there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Nicolas''' Hello everyone, my name is Nicolas, I’m a young engineer from France. Between January and March I plan to travel on the GPT, most likely combining hiking and packrafting along parts of the GPT. To better prepare my trip, I would like to request access to the track files. Thank you very much to Jan and all contributors for the amazing work on this project, it’s really inspiring to see such a resource shared with the community!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''mts1010''' Hello. I´m planning to do a part of the GPT from January to April. Is it possible to get the track files? That would be helpful. Thank you for your continued work on this project. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Michaela''' Hi everyone, my name is Michaela and I am from Austria. At the end of November 2025, I will start the GPT from Santiago and hike southbound. I will see how far I can get, as I have time until mid-March 2026. I am really looking forward to it!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*I'''guai''' Hello Jan, contributors, and all. Looking to be back in Chile for my first time in almost 20 years starting in January 2026. Excited to hike perhaps 500 km of the GPT over the course of a couple months. Thanks! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''LauraAndaGPT''' Hola Jan, I am currently figuring out which parts of the GPT I would like to hike (2025/26). It would be great to have acess to the track files for planning. Such great recourses to explore the Region, thank you very much in advance for all the considerations you made while publishing these informations! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Massa''' Hi Jan, thanks to you and anyone contributing for maintaining and sharing the information (not only the track files). Me and my wife are going to be in Chile two months starting in early in december and returning late in the january 26. We are looking forward to hike some of the sections of the GPT. Thank you, Jan, also for the help with setting up the wiki account. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''djunksss''' Hola Jan! This is Julia from Brazil! Last December I went to Cochamo to hike in the region and loved it very much! Now I'm planning on going back to Patagonia, this time to Torres del Avellanos region to again do some hiking and exploring, but this time with plans to do some wild camping. A good friend of mine told me of the wiki and the GPT track files, and I'm sure they would be of the greatest help moving around! Thanks in advance for all the trouble in keeping this awesome site in the air.&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Álvaro''' Hi Jan! I´m planning to do a part of the GPT with my son the next summer, probably a couple of weeks in January. Is it possible to get the track files? It would be a great help to have them. Thanks in advance.&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Mochi''' Hi Jan! First of all, thanks to you and everybody else who's put so much work into the Greater Patagonian Trail - I'm amazed by your generosity! I would like to hike/packraft parts of the GPT this upcoming season, together with my partner. For more in-depth planning it'd be great to have the track files.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Quentin.FR''' Hello, I plan to travel across Patagonia from january to april 2026, and I would love to take part of some GPT track in order to hike as much as possible. Therefore, I would like to request a GPS track to plan it. I will be alone during my trip. Thanks!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Pierrick M.''' Hello to the GPT community, thank you for the work done on this project. I would like to hike part of the GPT starting from Santiago in November 2025. Therefore, I would like to request a GPS track to plan my route according to the recommendations in the guidebook. Hope to see you soon on the GPT!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Castade''' Hi Jan, I’m planning to start hiking the GPT from Santiago (GPT01) without a fixed end point, just seeing how far I will go as the journey unfolds. I would really appreciate access to the GPS files so that I will be able to look further into the routes and have them for when I start the the trail. Thanks so much for all the work you've done—it’s truly an incredible resource!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Daniel S.''' Hello everyone! Thank you Jan,, for continuing the project! After completing some of the packrafting sections in the 23/24 season, I will be returning to the GPT in November '25 to repeat some sections and probably try a few different ones as well. See you out there! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Roy Kisluk''' Hi Jan, I plan on hiking the GPT starting with GPT69 in October and heading North. I will be hiking solo. I appreciate all that you put into this project. Thank you!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Nimrod Ashkenazy''' Hi, I'm planing to mostly solo hike (I have friends who will join for some sections) in November 25. I first heard about this trail while thru-hiking the TA in New Zealand. Thanks for the great work!!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Denis Rosa''' Hello everybody, I heard about GPT from Slovakian couple which hiked almost 3000km, after gathering more information and as I have been going through hikers manual this is something we would like to be part of at least a bit. Possible attempt would be with my best friend most likely in the season 2026 November until 2027 March. Only hiking. Not sure yet which parts exactly but we would have few months for that we would like to plan more from track file. And I have to add that really appreciate all the work which Jan did, thank you.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Glacier Kane''' Hi Jan, first of all can't help but smile when I read your document, the hidden codes, the obligatory communal contributions, as a fellow Engineer I appreciate your creativity and effort here :] anyways I'm planning a 3-4 month hike through the GPT in the next 6-12 months and would love the track files! Not 100% sure what section I'll do yet but the files sure would help me plan it, thank you sir.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''El Perezoso 91 (Sebastian)''' Hi together, my girlfriend and I hiked part 36H last year, and we would like to to the complete section 32 to 40 from September to January 2026/27. Many thanks @Jan for the GPT compilation, it's an incredible work you've done!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Trix&amp;amp;Tinu''' Hello everyone, we already hiked GPT 21 to GPT 1 in 2018/2019. Now we want to hike further stages in the south (without a packraft). We'll be in Chile from December to February. @Jan: Thanks for your work!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''JesseCaro''' Hi Jan, ever since our last visit in Patagonia in 2016 we’ve been dreaming of coming back. In previous years we’ve been hiking trails in Europe and the US. Searching for new experiences we came across your project. We would very much like to hike the GPT next summer (from December 2025) and use your Track files. Thank you very much!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Oelk'''* Hi Jan, A few months ago while planning an open-ended ticket trip to the Americas came across the GPT Hikers' Manual and fell in love, I depart in a month to NA and I plan to arrive at Santiago early October and to hike the Northern Bulk (and continue south if budget and weather allows). Already practicing my Spanish and preparing for the journey physically and logistically. Your passion for this region and this route is contagious! Would love to get access to the Track files, thank you and hope to hear from you soon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Anso'''* Hi Jan, I am reading about the GPT since years waiting for the right timing for me to come. It finally cames. I took 4 months off between December 2025 and  March 2026 to go solo-hiking between Coyhaique and Ushuaia. My goal is not necessarily to connect footsteps between those two locations but rather to take the time to explore the area and enjoy the suprises on the way. Thank you very much  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Teebi'''* Hi Jan, I've been traveling the last 9 weeks through south of Chile/Argentina and did a lot of the well known trails. While preparing for Villarica Traverse I found Wikiexplora and the GPT. Now I also really want to do the GPT06 and I think it will be one of my highlights just before time in Chile ends. Many thanks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Minutetravel'''* hello Jan, my name is jacques this year I discovered northern Chile and fell in love with this country. I would now like to explore Chilean Patagonia. I thank you for the incredible work you have done in mapping all the trails in this region. Thank you for accepting me on this list so I can access the files.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Greg''' Hi Jan, I'm very keen to explore parts of Greater Patagonia, particularly GPT 6-12 from January 2026. I would be very grateful for the track files to be able to achieve this. Many thanks for creating this amazing trail network.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*”Joppe” Hi Jan. I’ve been interested in the GPT since years and have finally got a chance to go to Chile for a month or maybe more. Would love to contribute to this project. I’d love to be granted access to the files. Thank you for your amazing work on this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;AthenaJones&amp;quot; Hi Jan. Hoping to solo hike the trail from the beginning of october to the end of january. My goal is not to complete the trail but to explore it until the time runs out. I will need the track files to achieve this. Thankyou for all the information you have provided, its inspiring.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;Asimo&amp;quot; Hi Jan. I'm currently solo traveling in Patagonia by bike with a packraft for 2 months and for the next 2 months. I learned about the GPT on the way and I'm interresting on several sections. Particularly for packrafting a portion of Río Baker, hiking around Torre de Avallano y glaciar O'Higgins, but also comparing options for hiking and discover more deeply Patagonia between Coyhaique and Puerto Natales.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Schmittenk''' Hi Jan. I'm living in southern Chile and have walked short sections that overlap with the route network. I'd like to look into hiking longer sections within the next couple of years. I'd appreciate being able to access the track files. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''UnChamoisEgaré'''* Hi Jan. I already had the chance to walk a part of the GPT 3 years ago alone (Adrien Kunzli) and this time I would like to do it with my 2 brothers for two months. We are preparing a little late but we have all the equipment and are in Valparaiso and we would like to start as soon as possible. I hope this is possible, thank you very much! Let me know :)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Diego Raffaeli'''* Hi Jan. I've been reviewing the GPT Hikers manual in order to planning a trail from Lago Puelo (Arg) to Cochamó (Chi). I would really appreciate if you can share the tracking files with me. Thanks in advance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Sprocky.''' Hi Jan. I've been studying the GPT hikers manual for some years now with an eye on exploring as much of the route as possible over the next two summer seasons. Keen to be a part of the GPT community and give feedback. I would really appreciate the track files to help me continue with route planning this year. Many thanks for compiling such a detailed resource. Cheers&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''SteveBehaeghel.''' Hi Jan en Meylin, thx for the recent update on the GPT files. We are currently in Pucon with our 3 kids (3ys, 6ys and 9ys). The upcoming 3 months we will continue to revisit or explore certain GPT sections on small adventures of maximum 5 days. We will trek parts of, and including optional routes, from GPT14-GPT16-GPT19-GPT21-GPT22-GPT30-GPT33-GPT35-GPT37. I will probably do some small uptdates on the FB group, but the wikiexplora pages I will update after our longer trip in the second half of 2025. Thx for all helpfull information.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Martin M.''' Hi Jan, I would like to explore some part of the GPT on foot, starting from GPT32. I only have a few weeks, so it will be just a small taste of what GPT is. Therefore having access to the track files would greatly help. Thanks a lot for all the effort you put into it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''7yson''' Hello, Jan.  Thanks for this incredible resource.  What an amazing effort that you and your community here have made.  Happy to be a part of it.  I'll be in the Esquel area in late Feb and am studying the main route for sections to hike in March, northbound likely. Thanks for considering me for access to the track files.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Daniela Montecinos''' Hi Jan! I found GPT while searching for information on packraft routes in Patagonia. Your work is wonderful! I am interested in doing some of GPT's packraft routes and being able to contribute updated information on them. Thank you so much for your work and for sharing it!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Mochilaosabatico''' Hi Jan. Tks for all information about GPT. My husband and I have just finished GPT 6 (Descabezado Grande) and we want to hike sectors 7 and 8. I would appreciate receiving the tracklogs for GPTs 7 and 8. Tks a lot!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Moonshine''' Hi Jan. I have been loving the in depth guide for the GPT. It has been an incredible resource for this upcoming trip. Thank you so much for all you have done. My friend and I are planning on spending a month in March hiking along this trail. We have yet to decide exactly where along GPT06-GPT22. We are hoping we love it so much that next year we will come back with some packrafting knowledge and do more for a longer period of time. We love being in the backcountry, and connecting with local communities. This truly appeals to us in every regard. Excited for this adventure!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Tom Venegas''' Thank you all for the fantastic work in gathering information and building this community! I’ve hiked in the Radal, Lircay, Antuco, Cochamó, and recently I’ve been exploring more of Aysén—specifically Cerro Castillo and Patagonia National Park. I’m really excited to check out Torres del Avellano and the Pioneros Road in Aysén next.  Looking forward to connecting with other hikers and sharing experiences to be part of this project!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Benoît''' Hi Jan, thank you for the incredible work you've done with the hiker's manual, it's an invaluable resource ! I started the GPT from Santiago in 2018 (sections 01 to 08), and I would like to continue from the Antuco Volcano and go south. Thanks again for all your work!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''einat shvartz''' Hello. I'm einat, i'm 26, i'm arriving solo to patagonia this January (2025), for about 2-3 months. I wish to hike the GPT, or maybe just some sections of it. I am absolutly love being in untouched nature and also meeting authentic people from all around the world. Hiking some of the GPT sounds incredible. I'm experienced with medium-long hikes (several days to 1-2 weeks top), but 0 experience with packrafting. There for I wish, at this point, to do only sections that are duable by foot (probably the more northen parts of GPT). And probably not a lot of difficult parts, at least in the begining, to see how i adapt to this new land, and to the whole thru-hiking experience. I hope that the track files will help me build and plan my own customize trail, and that i will be blessed to expirience some of it.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''jhfelner''' Hello.  I plan on hiking and maybe packrafting numerous sections of the GPT over the next few years starting with parts of GPT around Section 6 this year. Experienced with remote mountain terrain.   Would appreciate the track files for further planning.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Tomek Z''' Hi, I´m from Poland. Right now on the one-year hitchhiking trip through South America. But part of my plan was always hiking some part of Andes. This idea of GPT really looks nice. I am a student mountain guide in Poland,and so far my bigest hike was from Zakopane to Budapest aprox. 350km, 16 days. Now I would love to try someting more challenging. I want to do a part from Trapa Trapa to Santaiago. I speak spanish quite well and curently I am working in a hostel in El Chalten. :) I plan to start a hike in the middle of February. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Matthias Keil''' Hi Jan, we are Kathrin and Matthias from Germany (40yrs/42yrs) and we are both passionate hikers and have already visited lots of countries and its mountains. Since we have a kind of sabbatical in 2025/2026 we are planning to spend around 4 to 5 months on the GPT. My wife is fluent in Spanish and we are both fascinated of exploring remote areas and getting in touch with the locals combined with challenging navigation in barely untouched regions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Jordan Porter''' Hello. I plan to solo hike and packraft the Gpt starting December 2025 and hiking until April 2026. I spent three months backpacking and exploring Chile and Argentina last Jan-March so I have a decent idea of what to expect weather/transportation/etc. Your hikers guide has been a great resource so far! Looking forward to being in touch. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Ben McLuckie''' Hi Jan, along with my spouse, we want to spend 3 months hiking from PN Hornopirén north to Santiago starting in March. I am currently reading your 2024 Hikers Manual. For 3 months in 2019 we traveled from Dientes de Navarino to El Chaltén and for another 3 months in 2024 traveled from El Chaltén to Valdivia by mountain biking, trekking and connecting ferries. We are most definately &amp;quot;immersion hikers&amp;quot; and not mileage-focused thru-hikers (no judging here).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Fernanda Rodriguez''' Hi Jan, I am visiting Chilean and Argentinian Patagonia for one month. I am interested in doing the GPT 37 to GPT 40. I've been all of 2024 reading your Hikers Manual. I feel so grateful for such a beautiful contribution you have made to this, my country :)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Chloe Derrien''' Hi Jan, with my partner, we would like to go from Ushuaïa up to Peru using some GPT sections. We would like to start end of february. Thank you for the GPT hiking manual, it is a huge help and source of informations. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''DavidVidal&amp;quot;&amp;quot; Hola, de a poco he ido haciendo trayectos de varios días por la cordillera, algunos de estos se unen también a ciertas secciones del GPT. Me interesa tener estos tracks para planificar mejor mis salidas. Agradecido de tu trabajo y prolijidad en esta ruta. Leí hace un tiempo el manual, acepto las condiciones claramente.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Jason''' Hi Jan.  I'm currently looking into hiking some sections of the GPT in 2025/2026 and would greatly appreciate the track files to aid in planning.  I've read the introduction and agree to the terms and conditions.  Thank you for all that you do.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Ben Ram''' Hi Jan, I am researching hiking sections of the GPT in the Chilean Lake District with my partner in late 2025 to early 2026. It would be really great to have access to your GPS Files for this. I have read the Terms and Conditions and agree to them. Cheers. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Ana''' Hi Jan, I’m looking into hiking sections of the GPT in late 2025 to early 2026. As part of my planning, I’d love to have a look at the GPS files to decide on sections. Thanks so much for all of the work you’ve put into this, the hikers manual is particularly useful. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''EmilieV''' Hi Jan, I am planning to cross Chile from Antofagasta to Ushuaia by foot and bus and I would like to incorporate some of the GPT sections in my adventure. The sections in question are 6 to 12 SOBO and then skipping over some of the middle sections to hop back on it probably after section 32 to finish at 40. I am still figuring out if I want to add a section or two from the southern part of the GPT and would like to access to GPS files to finish my preparation. The hikers manuel and the unbounded documentary were so helpful not only regarding the &amp;quot;trail&amp;quot; but also understanding the different dynamics of the local population, so interesting!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''pointatadventure''' Hi Jan, a huge thank you to this wonderful community! I came across GPT after an extensive internet search. As an avid adventurer, I am planning a trip to Patagonia next year to hike and packraft. I have read and of course accepted the terms and conditions. It would be fantastic if you could provide the GPS files for my project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Steve Hawkins''' Hello Jan and thank you for considering me for the GPT track files.  I have read all terms and conditions, and I agree to comply.  I also agree to contribute to the community.  I am a &amp;quot;soon-to-be&amp;quot; retiree and have backpacked extensively in the United States. I would like to hike sections of the GPT over several years in 60–90-day increments beginning in Winter 2025-2026.  I am beginning the research process for the first section hike in Patagonia and would love the assistance of the track files.  Thank you for your consideration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Matias Federici.'''Hi Jan, I am going to do S14-15-16-17 next week, dont have much time for preparations because I was just noticed in my work that i have the vacations abiable, Been years reading About de GPT, this is the first time I have the money and time to try to do some, Im realy looking foward to this, thank you for the incredible job you started, best regards from argentina! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Use the format:&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Michael G.''' Hi Jan, I am planning on hiking sections 1 to 22 NoBo of the GPT from early March 2025, beginning in El Chaltén. I would like to thank you for the selfless work you did on making the GPT what it is. I'd be grateful if you could provide the GPS files for my project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Al and Bee''' Hi Jan, we are planning on hiking parts of the GPT starting in early January 2025, probably beginning in El Chaltén and hiking north. Thank you for the incredible Hikers Manual on the GPT. The GPS files would be extremely helpful for our endeavor. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Juergen''' Hi Jan,  My name is Jürgen Wolf. First of all, I want to thank you for the Greater Patagonia Trail project. I'm planning to some chapters in February, probably from stage 21 in northern direction. I'm currently in the process of studying the manual and creating a plan for myself, for which the GPS files would be helpful&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Pierre-Marie''' Hi Jan, I have been hiking since 27/11 from Santiago to El Chalten. Thank you for your work and efforts to keep this trail alive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Dustin''' Hi Jan, I am heading down to Patagonia this summer and planning to explore some of the packrafting sections.  I'm planning to start exploring out of Coyhaique in early January.  It is really wonderful that you are putting together a resource like this for an area you love.  Your passion really comes through in the guide.  Thank you so much for all that you do.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Miguel''' Hi Jan, my name is Miguel Rodríguez Letelier, i live in Chile, love hiking and the mountains. I am planning to hike the GPT in the summer. Thank you for all the work and passion you put in this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Henri''' Hi Jan, let me first say how thrilled I am that the GPT guide exists and that there are all these incredible resources available for free all in the name of hiking! I am looking at the possibility of hiking a section of the GPT this coming February. I have my selection narrowed down to a few different sections but I am still a little indecisive. I will only have about a month to hike the sections of the GPT until I need to go home. I am hoping to get ahold of the Track Files so that I could better understand the scope of what I might be embarking. I've made myself a spread sheet showing every section of the trail from GPT 001 through GPT 040 where I include data and details to more easily narrow down my decision, and with this I feel that I am ready to get into the fine details of planning a relatively short hike on the GPT (3 weeks or a month).   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Graham''' Hello Jan, My name is Graham Hall. I am very interested in hiking the GPT between December and February of 2025. I am beginning my planning process, and I would love your insight. I will say, this is somewhat new to me, not in the outdoor sense, but in perspective. I have worked as a backcountry guide leading canoe trips for several years, but thru-hiking is newer for me at least in the packing sense -although I have been doing some smaller trips. I am fluent in spanish and confident in my abilities in the backcountry, specifically in outfitting and planning so I am excited about getting my hands on the most up to date maps and trip notes to plan my route. I also am looking to plan some pit stops to try and attract my other guide friends to join me for sections, but I just need to get to planning. I also would just love to get some more advice. I will say, pack rafting sounds insanely cool (from my canoe experience) but I also know the dangers that come with solo water travel, especially in such windy conditions. I would love to discuss this further, if you have the time. Either way, I hope this gets to you, wikiexplora do me right! &lt;br /&gt;
I hope we speak soon,&lt;br /&gt;
Graham&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Nono''' Hi Jan! I am planning to hike the GPT from Puerto Montt to Santiago. I'll be starting in February. I'm currently planning the hike and the guide is really fantastic. Congrats and thank you for putting together such useful information. I hope I can help contribute too. Best, Arno.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Timotheed''' Hi Jan, I am planning to hike on the GPT from El Chalten to Santiago with a friend. We'll start in February, and we ll make it to Santiago with some junctions by bus. I am currently trying to plan our trip and therefore I would like to use the GPT track files. Thank you so much for the amazing informations you provided.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''dmateria''' Hi Jan, I am planning to packraft the packraftable (GPT16+) out of the GPT from end of December onwards, thus I'd gladly make use of the existing tracks. Thanks for the amazing community you have helped building.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Mishun''' Hi Jan, me and my wife Anna plan to hike on GPT as a part our trip to Chile in December. We aim to hike sections GPT 06 and GPT 07 but we keep our plans open to change depending on the current conditions. Thank you for all your effort.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;'MiaimZelt&amp;quot;' Hi Jan, thank you a lot for sharing so much informations in the GPT Manual. My husband and i are currently in Chile and will be until April. We planned to do a lot of multi-day hikes off the beaten path, which are part of the GPT, without knowing about the GPT. Less than 2 weeks ago an other hiker advised me about the GPT. This way i found out we'll be section hikers on the GPT. Now i'm reading every day in the Manual and try to improve my planning as best as i can without the files. Since then i considered if i should add myself to the list, although i'm definately late. Decided to give it a try. The gpx-files would be a great help to find out about alternative routes of our planned treks and to understand all the log-entrys, which are related to the files.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Elijah Fuller''' My friend Michael and I are experienced thruhikers who are looking to do something very different from our previous experiences; the GPT. We'll have approximately 2 months to complete the GPT in January and February 2025. We're currently route planning, with sections GPT05-22 or GPT32-47 being the two sections we're considering. It's time to jump on Google Earth! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*“Raphael Chevalier” Greetings and thank you for all the research and detailed information found in the Guide Manual. I have read chapter 1 and am further into getting info on that very intriguing trail. I have a GSP and would like to use the GPT gps coordinate to further research the sections I am planning to do starting January 2025. Once again thank you for the community and available information.&lt;br /&gt;

* '''Roman''' I already did parts of the GPT in the 23/24  Season and fell in love with it!:) So I want to continue where it stopped GPT82P / GPT 33. Looking forward fore some new explorations and the new stories to tell of the people I meet! :)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''gornik''' Me and my grilfriend Gabi would like to hike once again on GPT. Last time we were here in 2023 and now we are planning to come back ready to experience GPT with all its beauty and challanges. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Peggy'''  Hi Jan, a lot of gratitude for you work and for charing it. It's a wonderful gift! I plan to start the gpt late december 2024 and walk until march or april wherever I get. Then I probably do the south part next year. For the momeent, I study the manual, analyse the route and my gear so I would be happy to have the gps files to go further in this preparation. Talk with you soon I hope and I am happy too to be a part of this community.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Mttmllr''' Hi Jan, I live in Biobio region Chile, and in the past few years have done some hikes in the Andes that have been on GPT routes. I'm interested in the track files to enable me to continue exploring (slowly, year by year, I don't plan on leaving Chile any time soon) the different segments of the GPT. Many thanks for all your work and dedication to this project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''BeingGarrett''' Jan ... I am looking to start the GPT this year (2024) in Santiago, I have an unlimited timeline and acknowledge that the GPT can not be done in a single season, therefore I would like to directly view the GPS files to map a roughly 1000 mile section. Go far, not fast. Thank you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Kare-Bare Blvd''' Hi Jan, my GF and I are super stoked to have found such a wealth of knowledge available for our planned adventure to Patagonia.  We have 2 months and are very much interested in the Packrafting portions between 17-39, plus all the side quests and hikes along the way.  We don't plan to complete all these sections in 2 months but we really think that the track files will help in our planning and prioritizing of sections so that we can get the most out of our adventure and to do it safely.  GPT 2026! B-K&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''ClickClack''' Hi Jan, myself and a friend are planning on doing sections 1 through 40 from mid-November 2024 to March 2025. We hope to complete the whole thing and the track files would really help! Thank you for the incredible amount of effort you have put into this!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Simonlusignan''' Hi Jan, I am planning my 1500km hike through some GPT sections. I am starting from El Chalten in January 2025 and will be doing sections 32 to 40 and 6 to 12. I would love access to the files to help me navigate through river crossings and certain tougher sections. Thank you very much for the incredible ressource!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Tamar''''' hi! we were very excited to hear about this trail! and it's uniqueness!! we hope to hike through some sections along the trail starting from the north in December 2024 until the weather becomes cold. Would love to share photos taken along the way. thank you!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The Packraft portion of the trip will likely take place December 2024 into January 2025. We feel strongly that it is important to be properly prepared for a safe and enjoyable adventure. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''Allie''''' Hello, I'm Allie (or Aliénor). I'm planning to visit Patagonia from november 2024 to march 2025, and i would like to discover the region mostly on foot. Thank you for your extensive research and comprehensive guide. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''sigg''''' Hi Jan, I'm Chris and I was thinking about spending some time on the GPT as a solo traveller beginning mid January to beginning of March 25. Yet, as I want to plan thoroughly, I'd love to take a look into the gpx files in order to better understand the terrain to choose to legs I feel confident in mastering. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''HugoT''''' Hi Jan, I'm Hugo and I'm planning to spend 3 weeks on the GPT. Reading the manual was great, a real change on how I normally prepare for more well-known trails in Scandinavia, Scotland, Iceland or Nepal. In my search for true nature, I would like to start on section GTP06 and go south until 1) the trail beats me or 2) go as far as my feet will take me in the time that I have.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''veleslavia''''' Hello, I'm Olga and I'm planning to hike and packraft some sections of the Trail in late December 2024 with my partner. Thank you so much for creating the manual and the community around it!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''Ayrton.debeauffort''''' Hello, first of all thank you so much for all the hard work to put all these incredible resources together. I am looking to travel solo this spring to Patagonia and want to do first 20-30 section of the GPT over 2 months (with flexibility on the number of sections and timing). I have done multi day hikes in the W trek, and Norway and the Dolomites in the past and am looking to do a longer distance trek given I will be taking some time away from work. I look forward to contributing to your amazing research and thank you again!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''Celio''''' Hola, first thing, thank you very much for the passionate job you made in creating this Hiker's manual, it's a gold mine of infos!

&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''Elio''''' Hi Jan, thank you so much for the work you're doing mapping out the most remote parts of Patagonia. I'm a seasoned hiker from France and I'm starting planning my next project (hopefully for December 2024, depending on finance and wife approval :). I would be very interested in the data you've collected over the years to help me come up with a route. I would gladly contribute to this wiki as soon as I find relevant data to provide. Thanks!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''Stefan''''' Hi Jan, we, my wife and I, are experienced hikers from Germany and are looking for a new long-distance hiking trail that is scenically impressive, remote and not overcrowded. We don't have a concrete schedule yet (probably in a few years, for a few months). In our search we finally came up with GPT and your manual. Both are really impressive! Thank you for your work so far! We would be happy to help supplement the manual and keep it up to date. However, we are still at the very beginning of the planning and would therefore like to use the tracks for further information and preparation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''Keili100'''''  Hi Jan, we are Kathrin and Matthias from Germany (40yrs/42yrs) and we are both passionate hikers and have already visited lots of countries and its mountains. Since we have a kind of sabbatical in 2025/2026 we are planning to spend around 4 to 5 months on the GPT. My wife is fluent in Spanish and we are both fascinated of exploring remote areas and getting in touch with the locals combined with challenging navigation in barely untouched regions. &lt;br /&gt;
Thanks for your unbelievable huge amount of work you are putting on the GPT&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''Karin'''''Hi Jan, I am Karin. I have had the dream of visiting and hiking Patagonia since many years.

*'''''Sophie y Gaspar (Dr Jabali)''''' Hello Jan, we are a franco-spanish couple wich aim to try to complete the GPT beteen November 2024 and May 2025 and discover these beautiful landscapes and cultures. Thanks&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''Paulus''''' Hey Jan, im very impressed by your detailed planning and knowledge of the patagonian mountains. I really enjoyed reading your short manual for the trail even though I should have actually studied for my exams. In Autumn I will finish university and now have finally the time to do a longer hiking trip again. Since im a biology student, the GPT is extremely interesting, since it would serve me as a transect to observe to Vegetation change from the north to the south. Ive always dreamed of seeing Araucarias!&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''gitano''''' Hi Jan I enjoy hiking and I have a lot of expirience hiking patagonia for the last 6 years. I grow up in Osorno and i would like to hike my own land. I will love to cooperate and keep up this exelent job!&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''Maxfelis''''' Hi Jan, I'm a hiking enthusiast living in Santiago. I recently did &amp;quot;Sendero del Condor&amp;quot;, and I met someone that was doing the GPT06. I would love to collaborate with the GPT project, and explore other sections. Thank you so much for all your work!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''txrx''''' Hello Jan, I'm a hiking enthusiast living in Bariloche. I am always researching new routes and many times I end up scanning the GPT Hikers Manual. I can't believe how much work and love has been put by all the contributors to build this, thank you very much! I would love to help to keep the GPT growing responsibly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''Bebo'''' Hello Jan, I First heard of GPT while traveling through Peru, Bolivia and Argentina by bike. Rightnow I meet with my Brother in Buenos Aires and we want to hike remote trails for the coming 2 months. The GPT sounds just perfect, so we really would love to get the GPX files. We are aware of the fact that the trails lead through privat Land and nature. We treat both with hugh respect! Thanks for your work! Greetings from germany!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''Marilynemg''''' Hi Jan! I have been discussing the GPT with hiker friends for the last ten years and I finally will be able to visit Chile in March and April. I want to start with sections 1-8 and I have a couple more on the radar, time and weather dependent. Thank you so much for all your work!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''Retezepe''''' Hey Jan, we are very grateful for the invaluable resources you have compiled for the GPT. We're looking forward to being a part of this project! My partner and I are currently in Chile and interested in hiking a couple of sections of the GPT. The sections that currently interest us the most are sections 19 and 37H. We will be in Greater Patagonia from February to March.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''TrailsOfWander''''' Hi Jan. Thank you very much for your envaluable work for the GPT and for your guidance. I am traveling to Chile on Feb 11 to hike GPT06 and partial GPT08 and 09. Unfortunately I don’t have much time for this trip but I will plan future trips for other sections so the Track Files of GPT will be very valuable as the Manual is. Thanks again!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''AlexNecky''''' Hello Jan, thank you for all the work you've done putting this trail together!! My friend and I have been eyeing the GPT for a while. After much researching using your information and additional sources, we have tickets to Santiago for the beginning of March. Our plan is to start with GPT06 and going SOBO thru GPT10 or as far as we can for the month that we have. We're both super excited about this adventure and look forward to contributing back to the community with our experience!! Thanks again! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''Dueser''''' Hi Jan. I am deeply impressed by your work. Not only the time you spent on the GPT, but also all the documentation and the manual. During reading the manual I realized that 10 years ago I explored a few GPT stages in the north without knowing about the GPT. This time I'm deliberately heading south. I'll certainly put my experience to good use for the project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''CharlieGardner101''''' Hey there Jan! Charlie here! Wow, what an incredible community you've created here. I couldn't be more excited to explore this wonderful and wild part of the world and to become a contributing member of this initiative you've begun! I will be flying into El Chalten in the first week of February and, along with a few friends, hope to hike a variation of GPT sections 38-40. Later on (mid-late march), we hope to move further North to try our hands at a section somewhere between GPT 6 and 12. Thanks for everything you do! Cheers!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''Zsu''''' Hi Jan! I would like to hike parts of GPT32-40 in the upcoming weeks. More details in the email. Thank you very much!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''Fernanda''''' Hi Jan! First and foremost, a sincere thank you for your impressive work. It is so valuable to have this type of initiatives in Patagonia. I am Chilean and mountains have been my backyard since I was a kid. I am planning to do GPT35 and GPT 36H with my brother Francisco. He is also close to nature and a entrepreneur based partially on Puerto Bertand since 2020. I've shared the hikers manual with him and he was very thankful and impressed with this initiative. I would also be interested in contributing with adding highlights and changes to the track. Global warming is slowly but steadily modifying nature.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''Daemos''''' Hi Jan! My name is Andrew, and I am a Canadian travelling in Patagonia for the next two months. I was planning to hike the Condor Circuit, but I've read online of some difficulties lately and am interested in investigating one of the variations of GPT6 as an alternative. I would also be interested in adding some highlights of the GPT to my plans as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''PauMau2024''''' Hello Jan! My name is Paulina and I thank you so much for your work. It´s an impressive work that you have done! From february on my partner Flo and I want to explore and hike from Futaleufu to O'Higgins, GPT 71 and GPT35-39. Beginning in Futaleufu we will take around 5 days to get to Chaiten where we will have a resupply and then continue hiking down until the end of the carretera Austral. We are happy to share our GPS log and further information&amp;amp;experience, hopefully support future travelers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''madnomad''''' Hi! My name is Elias. We are a couple from Greece travelling around the American continent on a campervan, motorcycle, packraft and hiking equipment! We are already on the road for 5 months and we are currently in the Argentinian part of Patagonia. We love it here and it would be great to try a few sections of the GPT. We are not planning to do anything extreme, just enjoy a few highlights of the GPT at first!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''acivs''''' Hi! My name is Agnes. I'm from Switzerland and love trekking. I did several hikes in the Alps, the Andes and in Patagonia. In August 2022 I started backpacking through South America and got trapped in Tortel about a year ago. Last March I read for the first time about the GPT and was fascinated by it. For the moment I am planning on doing my first to sections, GPT36H and GPT35.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''wandering_guanaco''''' Hey all! My name is Jack and I am an American outdoors-person interested in hiking sections 16-23 this austral summer, and hope to continue to complete sections of the GPT as I continue to work in Chile for a few months of the year every year. This project is amazing and I am stunned by the thoroughness of the documents I have read so far. From the intentions of the project as a hike undertaken only by those who are prepared, to the particular comments on the links between fundraising and the inevitable outcome of the trip itself, I really appreciate the time and thought that has been put in to not just the adventure portion, but also the preparation, reputation, and impact of the hike. I feel lucky to have explored chunks of Patagonia in my past and cannot wait to broaden my experiences through these sections and information in the future. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''bistarai.bistarai''''' Hello! My name is Susie, I’m French-Canadian and planning on hiking sections 6 to 18 (although very flexible) as a first attempt on the GPT which I have been eyeing for a while now. Eventually I’d love to try packrafting in more southern sections in a couple of years!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''mollycargill''''' Hello, my name is Molly and I am a medical doctor from Australia with a lifelong love of the outdoors and an interest in wilderness medicine. As a part of an Expedition Medicine course I am currently undertaking I need to create an in depth logistics plan for a trip which I want to go on, which I have chosen as packrafting sections 16-25 of the GPT. I have had my eye on the GPT for a while, and hopefully can use the finished product of this assignment to help me finally attempt some of the GPT in the 2024/25 season. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''HHGTPE''''' (Hitchhikers guide to planet earth) Hey, I am Felix. I hitchhiked around the globe for three years some time ago and now I am doing a semester abroad in Buenos Aires for my uni. While looking for long distance tracks in Patagonia, I came across the GPT and very much fell in love with the whole concept. This year I would like to do some of the shorter and easiest hiking parts of the GPT but hopefully come back in the future to do some longer and connected parts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''fabianundcecile''''' Hola de San Rafael, Argentina. We are travelling to southern Patagonia and thought we could hike some sections of the PGT along the way. Maybe starting with GPT 7 southbound. Saludos Cécile y Fabian&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''czimahi'''''Hola Jan, por favor me podrías enviar el file para ir alguna parte entre GPT18 a GPT5? Muchas gracias &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''nico142857''''' Hola desde Chile!. Escribo en español por razones políticas más que practicas. Primero que todo, gracias por recolectar, sintetizar y compartir la información. Me interesa recorrer la parte norte de los 'senderos' y me interesan tener los .kmz para 1) tener una ayuda, 2) no abrir mas senderos y respetar la naturaleza y 3) dar feedback a la comunidad. Saludos&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''Ggeoff88''''' Hello everybody ! My name is Guillaume from France and I'm actually in Bariloche preparing my adventure to go to El Chalten by foot. You guys did an incredible Job of research, documentation and exploration... Today I'd like to inspire of your work in order to prepare my road. It's normal for me and will be a pleasure to share my experience after it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''MysticalMarauder''''' Hi my name is Misha and I'm in Chile with an old friend about to the depart on a greand adventure December 2023 onwards. Heading south in the coming days with the zenith of our travels the Punta Arenas/Puerto Natales area. Then turning around and heading back north after a month or 2. Eager to get on the GPT in either direction in the coming months/years? Not sure how long this adventure will last but hopeful to hike many kilometers on this network. Thank yiou to Jan and this commmunity for establishing this route and creating this excellent resource for those excited to get off the well-traveled roads and disappear into the wild for a bit. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''Lazy_Lemon''''' Kia ora! Looking to get amongst the Patagonia trails so thanks so much for putting all this information together!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''Sam Odin'''''' Hello! Thank you so much for this impressive work. The detail and love put into the GPT manual is truly a gift to us all. Between January 15 and February 5, my partner Sara and I are planning to explore as much of GPT33 as possible. Beginning in Villa Cerro Castillo we will take 8 to 10 days to get to Puerto Ingeniero Ibáñez (where we will have a resupply) and then take about the same time to get back to Villa Cerro Castillo. We would love to share our log and GPS information, hopefully further illuminating future travelers to the less frequented routes and parts of this section&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''Jonathan Mudde'''''' Hi Jan,  I'm planning to walk a few sections of the GPT in the very south and in the north. I'll start on the  first of January around Ushuaia. And after that I like to use the border close to O'Higgins and hike some parts around Laguna de la laja  I'm looking forward to use the gpx files. Thanks in advance! I have read many parts with great respect for your work and honering the lokal people. Regards Jonathan Mudde/Abishaloom&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Matthias''' Küme naqün antü! I've been following this fascinating idea for years, and now I can hopefully explore a small part of it myself and contribute to its long-term existence. I will arrive in Santiago in January, then I would like to follo'''w the GPT southwards, walking until about GPT20. But I am flexible in my plans on the ground, I am open to spontaneity and ever-changing challenges. Alles Leben ist Problemlösen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Carina''' Hi! Thank you so much for the detailed GPT resource you have created. It's been a dream of mine to hike/trail run through parts of Patagonia, and it would be really helpful to see the GPT track files to help with my route planning. I'm planning to go in 1-2 years from now, so plenty of time to plan still. Very happy to contribute / provide feedback on route sections once I'm there myself. Thank you :)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Paulina''' Hello everybody. First of all, I would like to thank you for all the huge  job you put into this projekt. I'm really amased. I will start a part of GPT in January, I'm especially interested in GPT because it seems wild, unspoilt and very interesting from cultural point of view. I also love the idea that everyone can create its own trail and that three is no one and the best option. Living in Europe where in some parts of the mountain we focus maybe too much on kilometers and speed, it seems that GPT offers something much more important. I will be more than happy to contibute to this beautiful projekt. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Mitschu''' Hello, after spending 9 weeks in Patagonia (pre pandemic) I am back with the aim to explore even more :) I thought about starting in Bariloche, explore the lake area going north (following part of Huella Andina) and finally cross over to chile and start at section 16 southbound mid/end of december. I used the pandemic for some long distance hikes in europe (GR5, half of GR10/11 and TMB) and cant wait to enjoy the beauty of patagonia. I will hike solo but open to meet up with fellow hikers if someone happen to be in the area :) I am following the project since 2 years... impressive work. Happy to contribute as well! Looking forward hearing from you! Thanks&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Rainbow16''' Hi Jan &amp;amp; fellow hikers! My name is Tanja and I am currently planning to walk Sections 6-22 starting end of December 2023. Still a bit dizzy from reading the hikers manual (what a great documentation!), I am excited to further explore this Patagonian trail network via the track files. A huge thanks to Jan and Meylin for their adventurous spirit and dedication as well as all other collaborators (what a cool community!). Looking forward to contributing myself once I put my feet on GPT grounds. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Frans van Driel''' Hi Jan, first and foremost I would like to thank you for all the work you put into the GPT. Truly impressive to read the manual! I'm planning to walk a few sections of the GPT. I'll explain more in detail in the upcoming email. My timeframe will be half December 2023 till half January 2024. I'm looking forward to this amazing experience and would like to start some more detailed planning using the gpx files. Thanks in advance! Sincerely, Frans van Driel&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Owen Hutchison (elhutcho)''' Hey Jan! Am incredibly impressed with what you have been able to put together with the GPT - it’s an amazing achievement for which I’m sure many are thankful. I have been reading through the manual in preparation for a trip in February and March 2024. My partner and I will make our way down from Lago Puelo (GPT 22/23) to El Chalten via a mix of different segments and pack rafting. To assist in planning and preparation, I’d be really grateful to receive the the KMZ/GPX Files. I am very happy to contribute back to the project in anyway I can. Thanks again! Owen&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Piotr Szatkowski''' Hello Jan, primarily I would like to say thank you for the massive amount of dedication you put into creating the whole guide. The quality of it, the precision everything is described with is very impressive.I would like to kindly ask you if you could share with me the KMZ/GPX Files. I am incredibly humbled to be able to discover the beauty of the regions of Patagonia. Can't wait into immerse in to this journey of solitude. I will be starting in end of December for section and or 2 heading south. Will probably hike for 2 months. I am not sure how long exactly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Ella Meyer''' Hi Jan, I am planning to walk parts of the GPT as part of a project studying and documenting people's relationships to water along long-distance trails. As per your suggestion when we talked on the phone one year ago, I would like to hike Sections 1-12. I may also skip to Sections 21, 22, 63 and 69. I am hoping to depart Southbound around late December (2023). I am very excited to embark on this journey, and welcome anyone else planning on hiking these sections to connect with me (contact info can be found on my website https://ellameyer.com/)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Vlad Ivanchuk (vladdi)''' I'm planning to walk some southern sections of GPT northbound from Ushuaia starting in December 2023 for just over a month. I look forward to immersing myself in the landscapes and culture of Patagonia, and I'd appreciate access to GPS files to enable this adventure. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Robin Marcille''' Hi Jan, hi all, thank you for this immense amount of work. After sailing from France to Ushuaïa, we are planning to walk parts of the GPT norhbound from Puerto Williams on November 2024 for approx. 3 months. We would be very grateful to access the GPS files to prepare our trip ! We are especially interested in the various options between Puerto Williams and Cochrane. We're super excited to participate to this project and would like to propose some mountaineering options !&lt;br /&gt;
   &lt;br /&gt;
*'''Cyril AC'H (Cy)''' Hi, can't wait more to get back with GG on the GPT after 2 years break, from El Bolson southbound toward Cochrane and El Chalten in a packrafting mode for those sections. No rush, side trips to fjords, we will see how far we get ! Thx for the KMZ/GPX Files ! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Martin_crgt''' Hi all, thanks for your work Jan, and for everyone's contributions to this adventure, My sister and I are planning to do the GPT in February 2024 from section 6 down south. Having the GPS data would be a great help to help us plan. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''maddidunster''' Hi Jan, Tom and I are two Australians planning to hike northbound from El Chalten to wherever we make it with the time we have from February to April 2024. Super excited, can't wait!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''guswimbo''' Hello Jan, thank you for all of your and others' work on putting together this incredible wealth of information! I'm planning on backpacking/packrafting from Cochamo to El Chalten in January/February 2023.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Oscar Crassous''' Hello Jan, I'm a french men who will travel northbound during 9 months in South America, between november and august. I have planned to walk most of the time and I am very excited to hike some parts of the GPT during my trip. Thanks for your work.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Matthieu''' Hello Meylin and Jan, former hiker on the GPT (season 2019-2020, northbound), would gladly go back on trail this year to hike some other parts southbound (Santiago-Antuco, Puyehue - Coyhaique)! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''GriffinWagner13''' Hello Jan, planning to travel to Chile/Argentinia in 2025. I'll be doing some of the sections between GPT01 and GPT40, bussing between routes as possible. I definitely want to hit some of the northern volcanoes as well as the southern routes! Super excited to hike it. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''edwinb''' Hello Jan, planning to fly to Santiago in 2 weeks. Thinking about gpt2/3 to do something close to Santiago and especially want to do the tracks in the araucania this time. gpt33h and gpt37h look very attractive to. Thanks again for all the work! Edwin&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''lilian''' Hello Jan, i'm planning to have a 3-4 months hike through Greater Patagonia, I will travel to Santiago in mid-November 2023 and maybe end my hike about March to April at somewhere south. I would be interested in the trackfiles from 1 to 69, would be incredibly grateful to have the files for further research and planning. Thank you in advance!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''zipgerm''' Hey Jan, Thank you for your work and contributing the route information to the world! I'll be in Chile/Argentina from beginning of December until April. If my feet are willing, I want to walk parts of the GPT starting with section 05 or 06 southwards. I read a great part of your guide and already bought a GPS with satellite pager - alhough I never used neither of them on my off-track hiking tours before. Looking forward to Chile and the Andes. Matthias&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''JordanJennings''' Hi Jan, my plan is to packraft soundbound sections 17-30 over the season, but will likely begin with a few (conditions appropriate)  sections between 30-40 from November after completing some packrafting training around Puerto Río Tranquilo. I would like to also thank you for dedication so much time and energy into making this possible for all of us&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''LottiRummel''' Hi Jan, thank you for all your fantastic work! We are planning to spend January 2024 in Chile and want to hike  starting from around GPT 06 southwards. I hope the gpx tracks will help us decide which sections to plan. Thanks! Alex and Lotti&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Rowe99''' Hi Jan, first of all, many thanks to you and everyone else who contributed to the manual. I have never seen so much information about such a large network for any other region in an open-source manner. I am planning to hike this year (2023) from December to mid-February starting from El Chaltén northwards with a pakraft. Thanks for all the information so far! Cheers Roman!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Jonas._____''' Hi Jan, I'm planning to hike through Patagonia from December to February/March. I will start in Puerto Montt and then go south from there as far as time and terrain permits. The great GPT Hikers' Manual did already give me a really good insight in what to expect and I would really appreciate having the GPT Track Files as well to prepare for my trip as much as possible! Thanks for your help!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''ColineW''' Hi Jan ! Thank you a lot for the amazing work you did with the &amp;quot;Great Patagonian Trail, Hikers Manual&amp;quot; ! It's full of wize advices and ideas I maybe would havenot find myself. I will go in Chili from mid-december to mid-march, meet up with my father who is currently wandering in the south. We'd like the hike northbound from GPT20 to GPT01. The GPS files would be a great help for you, since I tried my plan an itinerary on Google Earth and, as you know, I lost sight of some roads in the forest. My father has a Garmin66i, so we'll be able to send the datas of our trail to you. Have a nice day !&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Roi Keler''' Hello Jan, First of all, thank you for the amazing work you did and still do, it's a great inspiration for me. I plan to spend 3-4 months in Patagonia and I want to combine several walking sections of the GPT between section GPT01 - GPT16 &amp;amp; GPT32 - GPT46. After reading the hikers' manual and completing the preparations, I decided not to focus on a meticulous plan because it is important for me to be spontaneous and keep the options open. The GPS files in combination with the hikers' manual will allow me to choose the hiking sactions that suit me and then send the information to you and share with the community. Thanks for everything!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Marmur''' Hi Jan! We are a couple and are planning to hike the GPT from start to end, in 2 seasons (hopefully) starting next season. We have visited Patagonia in the past and can't wait to get to know it more intimately, as we loved it so much. hiking in remote locations with unmarked trails is not new to us, but we are exited about the challenges that are waiting for us at this epic terrain. this is a great chance to thank you for all this impressive work that you've been doing, and you can count on us that after all this ends for us, we will share all inputs and updates with you and the community.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Lukas Deleu''' Hi Jan, my girlfriend and I are planning to do 3-4 months of hiking through Greater Patagonia starting this december. We chose some of the sections that most appealed to us and hope to connect them by public transport. Gpt 6-12, 16-19, 32-40 is what we have in mind for the moment. Having the trackfiles would be a great help offcourse. Cheers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Huemul''' Hello Jan, I'm Frank from Irlanda.  I hope to continue southbound in November from El Chalten to Isla Navarino.  Thanks for all your help &amp;amp; advice so far. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''RoshiJ''' Hi Jan, what an amazing piece of work you've established in the GPT hiker's manual, and its amazing to see how many people are inspired by it. I am planning on exploring Patagonia starting in November, with no end date as of yet. My only goal is to wander and wonder but I'd like to do so well-informed and as prepared as possible. I already feel so after reading the manual but it would be even better to set out armed with your GPS files. I also love the idea of using wikiexplora as a platform to communicate within a like-minded community with similar goals so am enthusiastic to share my own experiences and read those of others. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Pieper92''' Holá Jan, Thank you for providing this comprehensive manual. I will travel to Patagonia in November 2023 and want to make my way from santiago to tierra del fuego by feet, on my beloved packraft but also longer sections by bus transport. Have not picked all sections but Lagos Chilenos/argentinos, parts of fjord area and tierra del fuego are in focus. Especially I want to circumvent the spoiled national parks in the south. Your guide has already been a great help up to know but the GPT track files would be extraordinary helpfull. I will especially try to provide novel exploration data by packraft.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''nickcarter884''' Dear Jan, Thank you so much for all the work you have done on this manual and the route, it's fantastic! Some friends and I are planning to do the section around El Chalten in February 2024 and would really like to follow your routes rather than the roads. Please could I have access to the GPS files so we can be in the real nature, not just the road? :-)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''delabien''' Dear Jan, I am very inspired by your manual. My partner and I plan to travel for 4 months starting from the capital Santiago going slowly to the south (starting in November 2023). Thus we would like to hike some of the sections you and the other collaborators assembled. In order to make the expedition more feasible for us we intent to use the local public transportation for some parts. Really looking forward to experience the changing landscapes during the route. Thank you&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''wbarab''' Hi Jan, thank you for all the extensive and detailed work put into this manual. My partner and I (American &amp;amp; Spanish)plan to hike the GPT from mid November 2023 until late February or March 2024. So far GPT 6-12, 14-16, 19, and 32-40 have stood out to us as a start, but our investigations continue and we plan to add at least another half dozen sections (plus some &amp;quot;maybes&amp;quot; if time permits)! To continue we would really appreciate access to the trackfiles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''ranulph24''' Hi Jan, great manual! Thank you for putting so much passion in this project. I consider hiking on the GPT in November 2024 - April 2025. I am mainly aiming for the northern part 5 - 30 and add a smaller section in the south. For refining my plans I would like to study the GPS Track Files in detail. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''MMartinez''' Hi Jan, thank you so much for this incredible amount of work.  It is really inspiring and exciting.  We are a couple (American and Polish) and we are interested in hiking some of the sections of the GPT later this year.  We have been reading the manual and adjusting and readjusting plans the more we learn (there's so much to learn!)  We would really appreciate access to the track files to help with the planning.  Thank you so much again!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''SeanMaskill''' Hi Jan, Thanks for all of your work! I've wanted to hike sections of the GPT for a few years. I've now started the research seriously and tracks would help me decide which sections I'd like to hike. Cheers Sean.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''MarmotAndBear''' Dear Jan, Thank you for putting in so much dedicated work, to create the Hiker’s Manual, and in doing so helping others to hike and appreciate this part of the world. We are a German-Singaporean couple and we have been following the GPT community for almost one year now. We have quit our jobs not long ago and have started visiting Central Asia, where we’ve been able to do some amazing hikes. Before setting foot on the GPT this coming (southern) summer, we are planning to improve our Spanish in other South American countries. We hope a few weeks of dedicated learning will do the trick. Once on the trail, we are planning to hike and packraft as much of the GPT as we can during the coming season. Let’s see how far our feet and boat will carry us :)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''guaraches80''' Hello and good afternoon Jan.  I have been reading and preparing for some sections of the trail you have put together.  I, a Mexican American, and a Colombian friend will be backpacking through Brazil and later to Argentina in the coming months and we would love to see some of the wonderful trails you and others have experienced. Obviously, because of our backgrounds we both speak fluent Spanish and have years of backpacking, hiking and bushcrafting experience.  This is something I look forward to with the uptmost energy and so will eagerly await the track files to begin further in-depth planning.  Thank you for your time. Until next time!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''blissfulmisgivings''' Hi Jan, Thank you for providing so much detailed and helpful information about the GPT! We (two Americans) are excited to try packrafting portions of the GPT beginning in November 2023. The guidance you've provided in the manual has already been invaluable to our preparations, and we look forward to reviewing and using the GPT track files in our journey. Thanks again!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''YannickCOLL''' Hi Jan, Thank you very much for your work and your dedication to the GPT. We are immersing in the GPT universe with pleasure and a growing sense of adventure. We are a couple (French and Belgian) and we’re looking to hike some sections of the GPT between mid-November 2023 until April 2024 (Sections: 1-12 / 16 / 19 / 32-40). These are the sections that we selected so far and that we are more attracted to, knowing that of course it can change. We were wondering if you could grant us access to the GPS tracks in order for us to prepare for the GPT.  We understand that this is an unofficial trail and that it is still a work in progress and we are eager to help in any way we can to continue to build this ‘trail’. Nolwenn &amp;amp; Yannick&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''daniel.s''' Hi Jan, amazing work with the Hiker's Manual! I hope to meet some of you on the trail next season. I'm planning to do some of the packrafting sections starting at GPT 17. The track files would be very helpful to make it an unforgettable experience. Greetings from Austria, Daniel &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''hevike''' Hello fellow hiking community, I'm Jens from Germany looking into hiking sections of the GPT this November until the end of February. Thanks for the amazing work you all have put into this project and I'm looking forward to contribute myself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''MartinGilles''' Hola Jan, soy Martin de Belgica y estoy planeando hacer una parte del GPT al principio de noviembre hasta el 20 de diciembre. Me gustaria tener the GPS tracks para organisarme y ver lo que me conviene mas. Muchas gracias por lo que hiciste y para permitir la exploracion de esta parte del mundo. Un placer, Martin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Marc Altena''' Hi Jan, thanks for all your hard work exploring the hidden trails of Patagonia. I'm hoping to do sections 6 to 10, 16 to 22 and 32 to 40 early next year. The GPS tracks would be helpful. Tanks in advance for sending them. Kind regards, Marc&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Lorenzo''' Hi Jan, I don't have specific plans concerning the GPT yet, but that might change soon. After the reading the first 300 pages of your guidebook it seems to me like a real challenge and an unforgettable experience at the same time. I'll call it a dream to hike at least parts of it, and extensive planning is the first step to make your dreams come true.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Joscha97''' Hi Jan, I gonna travel to Chile in the beginning of next year and I am really fascinated by the idea of the GPT. I would love to hike some parts of it, starting in Santiago. Thanks for all the work you put into this project. Greetings&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Larix84''' Hello Jan, he hablado contigo con whatsapp hace 2 semanas Mi proyecto de trail para el ano que viene se confirma, un saludo'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Noemie''' Hi Jan, thank you so much for making us discover those incredible paths and landscapes in an ethical way. I have been hiking in Chilean Patagonia for a few months now and I wish to keep discovering the region more deeply by hiking through a few sections of the GPT, especially GPT36H (ruta de los Pioneros). Depending on how this goes, and on the weather conditions, I may try to go further north around sections 08-09. Thanks for all your work, the resources you provided have been super helpful!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''TheRebel''' Hey Jan thanks for the big package of information you provide with tha website/pdf I'm in Argentina since 3 months and hiked many km in the official and more marked areas (bariloche, bolson, esquel, el Chaltén, El Calafate, Ushuaia and more) and now I'm on the way back north and wanna end up in Bolivia or maybe even Columbia in the next 6 months... I've heard about your site from a Canadian guy who did some sections more north and I thought it would be nice to do some more trails in a little more remote areas on my way north&lt;br /&gt;
Greatings TheRebel&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Jen''' Hi Jan and so, so many thanks for all the incredible work you have done here. I am currently in Peru and planning to fly south to begin the beginning of GPT01 in the next few weeks and see how long I can walk for before things become too off season. I will halt and recommence when the season comes back in. If I manage to journey to Punta Arenas in the end, whenever this might be, then I am happy! Thank you, Jen. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Ollie''' Hello Jan. I am from Wales and currently is&lt;br /&gt;
 Brazil after sailing here from Europe. My plan is to work my way towards southern Argentina where I will stop and work for a while. Hopefully improving my Spanish, get to know the culture more and spend my weekends in the mountains to prepare. The idea is to start from Tierra Del Fuego, head north and just take it step by step. The manual has been a great read thank you for being so thorough. Love it. Cheers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Silke &amp;amp; Hans''' Hello, We are a Belgian couple currently on a multiyear bikepacking, trekking &amp;amp; mountaineering trip through South-America. We'd been looking forward to do some sections of the GPT for a long time. We are currently in Chile Chico, and planning to do the GPT35 section. We probably want to do some more sections further South.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Jakub+Veronika''' Hi Jan, we're a couple from Czechia, currently almost one month in Chile getting to know the country, it's history and it's people's culture. We'd like to hike some parts of the GPT south from Puerto Montt, where we are based right now. Thanks for this awesome work!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Jess&amp;amp;Paco''' Hey Jan ! We are from France and we would love to hike the GPT between march and april 2023. We plan to connect a few sections in the great lakes region (between section GPT45 and GPT35, south to north) for about a month. And if the weather is favorable, we would explore in april a little bit of the nothern parts of the GPT (volcanos region) but without necessarily connecting steps, while being around for a workaway. Thanks a lot for all this work !&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''blklb''' Hi Jan! I'll be leaving for Chile in a few days and would like to do bits and pieces of the sections between Curico and Conaripe, perhaps farther south. I'll be combining trekking with time spent in towns/cities. This is going to be a leisurely exploration of the GPT, with the possiblity of a longer GPT-specific trip in the future. Thanks!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Joachim''' Holà Jan! I'm Joachim from France. I'm coming to Chile in a few weeks, and found your website with a lot of valuable informations on this beautiful itinerary! I don't have a fixed plan yet but my idea is to start around Santiago and go South until winter begins. I'd love to get a hand on those gpx files to help me plan properly, I'll be happy to share feedback when coming home. Many thanks for all the work you put in!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Johnny1968''' Hi Jan! We are a couple from Italy and want to to start mid february 2023 from Santiago for the GPT.

&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Dallas''' Hi, I´m Dallas, from Berkeley, California, USA. I am interested in planning a trip in early 2023 to explore the beauty of Patagonia and indulge in my passion for slow, human-powered travel. This trip is open-ended and intentionally meandering, and the GPT looks like an excellent basis of exploration. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Nicopo''' Hi, I´m Nicolás, from Buenos Aires. My girlfriend and I have been hiking in Patagonia for the last few years and we are planning on hiking sections of the GPT from December to February.

&lt;br /&gt;
*'''felagund''' Hello, I would like to hike the GPT in December-February, from Santiago till as far as I can get and as long as a I enjoy it. So I would be interested in the trackfiles from 1 till about 40, even though I probably won't reach that far. I am a contributor to OSM so I was thinking that would be my main form of contribution, though I would not want to put paths that are disputed there of course. Tomas&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Arnaudlacoste''' Hello Jan! I have been a big fan of the GPT for some years now. I just moved back to Chile after living for the past 8 years in Europe and would love to discover a few sections of the GPT. I will be settling in Araucania region so I would love to have access to the track files and plan which sections I will immerge myself into. I hope I can also contribute to it and meet some of the community in the following months/years. Thanks you and the community for this marvelous work! Cheers, Arnaud. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

*'''HolKann &amp;amp; Peanutje''': Hey all, we're planning to visit Chile in January 2022, and hope to hike parts of the GPT for the better part of (at least) 3 months. Our most recent hiking experience was the [https://thepindosway.com Pindos way] in Greece, which consisted of finding &amp;quot;the shadow of an old mule path&amp;quot; to get up or down a mountain ridge, which taught us how to handle packs of angry shepherd dogs, and which forced on us a crash course in rudimentary Greek (as we would have gone hungry otherwise). We hope to get to know Patagonia and its people in the same way, except that our Spanish skills should be a bit better.&lt;br /&gt;

 &lt;br /&gt;
*'''Maartje''' Hi Jan, my name is Maartje from the Netherlands. Together with my boyfriend we are planning to do quite some sections of the GPT between november - april. We are looking forward to explore Patagonia!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Lénichons''' Hi Jan, my name is Léni, I'm a french backpacker who wants to discover the South America backcountry and culture that come with it. I've heard of GPT by searching for a remote place in Patagonia where I've dreamed of going for a long time now ! My plan is to walk on the GPT for the end of the year to discover the landscape and even more to learn about the culture of people that live there. Thanks you for the work that you made on this previous trail !!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''JanS''' Hi Jan and GPT community, My name is Jan and I‘m from Switzerland. Visiting and hiking through Patagonia has been a dream of mine for many years and now I finally have the opportunity to make it happen. Whilst researching routes in Patagonia I was lucky to come across your incredible work on the GPT. My plan is to start with some hikes around Ushuaia in January 2027 and then travel north to the main route where I hope to trek a few more sections. Having access to the track files would help me a lot with planning my routes. Thank you very much for the work and time that you have put into this project and for helping all of us experience Patagonia in its full beauty.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Terrence''' Hello Jan, thanks for the precious files, i'm eager to explore the gpt. specially, gpt 5-21, 45/46 and maybe 70-78. It would be a beautiful experience.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Aya''' Hi Jan, thank you for sharing this beautiful experience. I'm coming to Patagonia on Feb to April. Looking forward to explore GPT! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''kathrin77''' Hola/hallo! Thank you so much for this excellent documentation. I am hoping to hike in Patagonia next summer season and am interested in some hiking sections, likely GPT06-20 and GPT32-40 or something similar. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Marlon''' Holaaaa. I'm excited to experience southern Chile by foot. Hoping to hike gpt22-23, gpt27-28, gpt 32, and gpt 37-40.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''yaza''' Hi, thanks for this amazing resource. Looking forward to exploring the GPT soon!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''michal.synovec'''  Hi, I am so glad to join this amazing community of hikers. Me and my partner are currently planning our trip to Chile in February and it looks like we will start with GPT6/GPT7 and then we will fly to South and do some hikes there. This whole page, hikers manual and facebook group very helpful and I am amazed how nice and kind people from this community are. Thank you for it! Greetings from Czechia.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Salena&amp;amp;Dimitrios''' Hi Jan and GPT family. Thanks for the time and effort building this amazing community. We are planning our trekking adventures for this February and we hope to contribute our experiences with the GPT (planning on sections 35 and 36H). We would be grateful to learn from this community and share our experiences for those to come. Greetings from Germany.   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''FernandoS'''  Hola! Soy Fernando, de Chile. En mis vacaciones de verano me gustaría recorrer algunas secciones del GPT, por lo te agradecería mucho los archivos gpx. Gracias por el trabajo realizado!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''OriolGirona'''  Hola Jan y comunidad soy Orioll de. Barcelona. Estoy recorriendo la Puna Argentina en bicicleta y subiendo andando algun de sus volcanes.. Al termnar, a principios de febreroe gustaria recorrer algunos de los  tramos 5-9 de la ruta durante Marzo 2026 asi que agradeceria poder acceder a los archivos gpx .(Hace algunos años lo intente y me enviaste el archivo, pero una lesion de rodilla me lo. Impidio, y logicamente elimine el archivo)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Itamar Neta''' Hi, I'm currently in El Chalten, planning to mostly solo hike, I heard about this trail from a friend I met on one of the trails. Thanks for the great work!!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Nick L''' Hello Jan and everyone else. Thank you so much for providing all this information and creating such an in depth guide. I learned so much from it. I would love to get access to the track files so I can start planning the adventure of a lifetime!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Tomáš M.''' Hola Jan, soy Tomáš de la República Checa. Tengo mucho respecto por el proyecto que habeís construído. Me encantaría recorrer algunas secciones del GPT en Deciembre/Enero. Agradezco mucho la oportunidad obtener los trackings. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Sean M''' Hello Jan, thank you for putting all of your work into this resource, it really shows! My partner and I are planning a short hike for this Jan/Feb around Puerto Montt and we are really excited! We will just dip our toes this first trip, but we will surely be back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Eline M''' Hi Jan and everyone, After years of dreaming about Patagonia, I’m finally preparing to make it a reality. My current plan is to hike in January and February heading NOBO, starting around Puerto Natales. I’ll be traveling solo but I’d love to meet other hikers along the way or share parts of the route if our paths align. I’d be very grateful to receive the GPT track files to help finalize my planning. Thank you Jan and all contributors for the enormous effort put into building, documenting, and maintaining this incredible trail network. &lt;br /&gt;
*'''SebasAR''' Hola Jan and the GPT community. I am Sebastian, and currently planning my first-ever trip to Patagonia. I just found out about the GPT, and I am pretty excited to complete several sections. I learned a lot about the region, its peoples and customes, and other interesting facts from the manual. Thanks for the huge effort of making this route and community. Looking forward to becoming part of this community and contributing to it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Matt&amp;amp;Linda''' Hola Jan, we are looking forward to the hiking and cultural experience of the GPT! We learned a lot from the manual. We are already in Argentina and found some digüeñe! Thank you for all your work !&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Simon&amp;amp;Mila''' Hi Jan, thanks for the amazing work with the manual and the track files. Looking forward to go deep into patagonia ! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Alex&amp;amp;Aoife''' Hi Jan and GPT community :) My Partner and I are planning on hiking SOBO from Santiago Early January 2026. We would love access to the GPX files. Really appreciate all the collective effort that's gone into the manual too. Very special resource. Thanks alot !&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Isa&amp;amp;Sander''' Hi GPT community, we are two ecologists from the Netherlands and are travelling to Santiago at the end of November 2025 to hike parts of the GPT. We don't have a set time, so depending on our progress (and how many cool plants and other creatures will distract us ;) ), we will try to do more or less sections. We really look forward to experience the landscape and meet its people. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''pearcerichi''' Hello, we are Richard and Emeline, we are french, we plan to Come in Chile one month and half in the early 2026. It is our first Time in Chile. Like people of this community i guess, we like so much hiking paticularly in immersive natural and social environments. The reason why we were very glad to find a trail like GPT and a community like wikiexplora. Our first idea is to start by sections 06 to 12 this year. But maybe the plan might change during the process. Thanks à lot for all you have done to help us planning pour trip. Hope we might contribute. Best regards. Richard and Emeline &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''AriGPT''' Hello! I'm Ari, and I'm hoping to hike a few sections of the GPT over the course of roughly a month from mid-December 2025 until January 2026. I was in Patagonia about 4 years ago, and I was absolutely impressed by its beauty. I'm really excited to hopefully go back and I think the GPT would be an incredible opportunity to do so and see new places and appreciate the beauty of Patagonia.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Henrik G''' Hi Jan and the extended GPT community. I'm Henrik, from Norway, and I'm planning to spend a month hiking parts of the GPT early spring 2026. I learned about the GPT from a man I sailed with back in 2020, who was a long distance hiker (and also a captain on a sailing boat). We sailed together in Greenland where I especially appreciated the remoteness, the proper wilderness and the fact that your are self dependent and need to plan properly. I would like to request receiving the GPT track-files so I can start the detailed planning process. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Amy G''' Hi Jan. I was lucky enough to be invited to trek with a member that I met in Chile in 2024. We will start in January 2026 until the season is over. While he does the packraft sections, I will trek solo and meet up later. The more I read the Hiker's Manual, the more exited I am becoming, because I agree wholehartedly with the phylosophy. I would appreciate recieving the GPT files so I can plan and coordinate routes with my friend. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Lucie V''' Hi Jan and everyone, I’m Lucie from the Czech Republic. After four years, I’m coming back to Patagonia — a place that really became my second home for a while. I love nature and mountains and would like to experience some of the best parts of Chilean wilderness, while hiking and connecting with local people along the way. I plan to hike selected GPT sections from January to April 2026, heading southbound. I’ll be hiking solo but would be more than happy to meet and maybe join other hikers for parts of the journey.I’d be very grateful to receive the GPT files to be able to plan all the details. Thanks a lot to Jan and all the contributors for the amazing work on mapping and sharing this trail network!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Mor A.''' Hello everyone who might come across this :) My name is Mor, I have just graduated from my Masters in university and now it is my time to take my exploration to a new continent. After wondering through Europe and Israel I would like to do the same this season in South America. I have heard about the GPT from a freind in the Israeli Ultralight community and have fell in love. The idea of wondering through less accessed land with the opportunity of interacting with native communities off the beaten path of Patagonia makes me excited. I am currently looking at the section around GPT06 or further down south around El Chalten. With no clear plan I am looking for the GPX and KMZ files to better plan routes. Reading the user manual was such a relief that so much accurate and to the point information exist and now the files will be the final piece to my plans :)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Antoine B''' Hi, I'm Antoine from France. I just started a sabbatical, leaving space exploration for some time to explore Earth, spending more time in nature and mountains. For many years I have longed for travelling to Chile/Argentina, to discover its wild nature and culture (and finally practise my Spanish!). I read about the GPT earlier this year and it feels like an exciting balance between remote trekking, hiking/packrafting mix and an open adventure where encounters, weather, rivers and time hold surprises. I'll be in Santiago by late November 2025 and spend ~4 months on various sections of the trail: probably starting hiking/packrafting sections between 19-44 (SOBO) then going back to 05-12 at the end of the season. I will be happy to connect with other hikers on the way, and would be very grateful to receive the track files for planning. Thanks for your huge work Jan!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Julia&amp;amp;Oliver''' Julia is working on a charity project in Mendoza atm. When this finishes we'll hike for a few weeks. We'll start somewhere at Puerto Montt/Bariloche and hike NOBO. Where Julia is more the kind of &amp;quot;Duracell bunny&amp;quot;, I am looking more for really remote places where is no information at all available about the track. Discovering a handbook with 1300+ pages was kinda shock to me. 😅 &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
*'''Elisa B''' Hello everyone, my name is Elisa and I'm from Switzerland. I'm planning to hike the GPT between December and January. Why the GPT? I discovered this trail through a book by a French explorer. As I read through the pages, it became clear that Patagonia would be my next destination and I'll be tackling part of the GPT, as I've always wanted to walk long distances. I enjoy wild and authentic landscapes, contact with the local population, and having to fend for myself. Since I have little time to explore the region, I'm planning to spend about 2 months hiking the section between GPT20 and GPT40. Heading north. I'd be very grateful to receive the GPS files. Thanks a lot for your job on the GPT! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Pierrick G''' Hi Juan. 10/2025. I am currently exploring the South American continent with no fixed return date and a strong wish to immerse myself in the local culture. My motivation for hiking the Greater Patagonian Trail is to step off the beaten track and lose myself in nature, seeking an authentic, humble, and challenging way of life. I hope to leave no trace along my journey, connecting deeply with the environment where I am only a simple guest and a temporary visitor. For me, the trail is not only about adventure but also about respect, discovery, and becoming part of a wild and beautiful land, even if only for a while.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Edwin.     Hi Jan. I hope to be flying to Punta Arenas the 10th of november and intend to cherry pick some gpt sections. Hope to get a bit more done than just gpt12 and half a gpt33h two years ago! Of course I would be very happy to receive the latest gpt files.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Alma''' Hi Jan. I hiked three months on the GPT in 2017/18. An amazing experience! Since that time I am longing to explore other regions of Chile whilst on the GPT. I would really appreciate receiving the new track files in preparation for another three months on the GPT starting this mid-November. Thanks for all your research and for sharing your knowledge on thru-hiking (and packrafting) in Chile! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Sandro''' Hi Jan. I am a pretty experienced bikepacker, and I usually create my own routes, but since I don't have that much experience doing this for thru-hiking, and there is already such an exhaustive and well-researched amount of information available, it would be silly not to acquire your files and start from there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Nicolas''' Hello everyone, my name is Nicolas, I’m a young engineer from France. Between January and March I plan to travel on the GPT, most likely combining hiking and packrafting along parts of the GPT. To better prepare my trip, I would like to request access to the track files. Thank you very much to Jan and all contributors for the amazing work on this project, it’s really inspiring to see such a resource shared with the community!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''mts1010''' Hello. I´m planning to do a part of the GPT from January to April. Is it possible to get the track files? That would be helpful. Thank you for your continued work on this project. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Michaela''' Hi everyone, my name is Michaela and I am from Austria. At the end of November 2025, I will start the GPT from Santiago and hike southbound. I will see how far I can get, as I have time until mid-March 2026. I am really looking forward to it!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*I'''guai''' Hello Jan, contributors, and all. Looking to be back in Chile for my first time in almost 20 years starting in January 2026. Excited to hike perhaps 500 km of the GPT over the course of a couple months. Thanks! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''LauraAndaGPT''' Hola Jan, I am currently figuring out which parts of the GPT I would like to hike (2025/26). It would be great to have acess to the track files for planning. Such great recourses to explore the Region, thank you very much in advance for all the considerations you made while publishing these informations! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Massa''' Hi Jan, thanks to you and anyone contributing for maintaining and sharing the information (not only the track files). Me and my wife are going to be in Chile two months starting in early in december and returning late in the january 26. We are looking forward to hike some of the sections of the GPT. Thank you, Jan, also for the help with setting up the wiki account. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''djunksss''' Hola Jan! This is Julia from Brazil! Last December I went to Cochamo to hike in the region and loved it very much! Now I'm planning on going back to Patagonia, this time to Torres del Avellanos region to again do some hiking and exploring, but this time with plans to do some wild camping. A good friend of mine told me of the wiki and the GPT track files, and I'm sure they would be of the greatest help moving around! Thanks in advance for all the trouble in keeping this awesome site in the air.&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Álvaro''' Hi Jan! I´m planning to do a part of the GPT with my son the next summer, probably a couple of weeks in January. Is it possible to get the track files? It would be a great help to have them. Thanks in advance.&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Mochi''' Hi Jan! First of all, thanks to you and everybody else who's put so much work into the Greater Patagonian Trail - I'm amazed by your generosity! I would like to hike/packraft parts of the GPT this upcoming season, together with my partner. For more in-depth planning it'd be great to have the track files.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Quentin.FR''' Hello, I plan to travel across Patagonia from january to april 2026, and I would love to take part of some GPT track in order to hike as much as possible. Therefore, I would like to request a GPS track to plan it. I will be alone during my trip. Thanks!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Pierrick M.''' Hello to the GPT community, thank you for the work done on this project. I would like to hike part of the GPT starting from Santiago in November 2025. Therefore, I would like to request a GPS track to plan my route according to the recommendations in the guidebook. Hope to see you soon on the GPT!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Castade''' Hi Jan, I’m planning to start hiking the GPT from Santiago (GPT01) without a fixed end point, just seeing how far I will go as the journey unfolds. I would really appreciate access to the GPS files so that I will be able to look further into the routes and have them for when I start the the trail. Thanks so much for all the work you've done—it’s truly an incredible resource!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Daniel S.''' Hello everyone! Thank you Jan,, for continuing the project! After completing some of the packrafting sections in the 23/24 season, I will be returning to the GPT in November '25 to repeat some sections and probably try a few different ones as well. See you out there! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Roy Kisluk''' Hi Jan, I plan on hiking the GPT starting with GPT69 in October and heading North. I will be hiking solo. I appreciate all that you put into this project. Thank you!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Nimrod Ashkenazy''' Hi, I'm planing to mostly solo hike (I have friends who will join for some sections) in November 25. I first heard about this trail while thru-hiking the TA in New Zealand. Thanks for the great work!!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Denis Rosa''' Hello everybody, I heard about GPT from Slovakian couple which hiked almost 3000km, after gathering more information and as I have been going through hikers manual this is something we would like to be part of at least a bit. Possible attempt would be with my best friend most likely in the season 2026 November until 2027 March. Only hiking. Not sure yet which parts exactly but we would have few months for that we would like to plan more from track file. And I have to add that really appreciate all the work which Jan did, thank you.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Glacier Kane''' Hi Jan, first of all can't help but smile when I read your document, the hidden codes, the obligatory communal contributions, as a fellow Engineer I appreciate your creativity and effort here :] anyways I'm planning a 3-4 month hike through the GPT in the next 6-12 months and would love the track files! Not 100% sure what section I'll do yet but the files sure would help me plan it, thank you sir.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''El Perezoso 91 (Sebastian)''' Hi together, my girlfriend and I hiked part 36H last year, and we would like to to the complete section 32 to 40 from September to January 2026/27. Many thanks @Jan for the GPT compilation, it's an incredible work you've done!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Trix&amp;amp;Tinu''' Hello everyone, we already hiked GPT 21 to GPT 1 in 2018/2019. Now we want to hike further stages in the south (without a packraft). We'll be in Chile from December to February. @Jan: Thanks for your work!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''JesseCaro''' Hi Jan, ever since our last visit in Patagonia in 2016 we’ve been dreaming of coming back. In previous years we’ve been hiking trails in Europe and the US. Searching for new experiences we came across your project. We would very much like to hike the GPT next summer (from December 2025) and use your Track files. Thank you very much!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Oelk'''* Hi Jan, A few months ago while planning an open-ended ticket trip to the Americas came across the GPT Hikers' Manual and fell in love, I depart in a month to NA and I plan to arrive at Santiago early October and to hike the Northern Bulk (and continue south if budget and weather allows). Already practicing my Spanish and preparing for the journey physically and logistically. Your passion for this region and this route is contagious! Would love to get access to the Track files, thank you and hope to hear from you soon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Anso'''* Hi Jan, I am reading about the GPT since years waiting for the right timing for me to come. It finally cames. I took 4 months off between December 2025 and  March 2026 to go solo-hiking between Coyhaique and Ushuaia. My goal is not necessarily to connect footsteps between those two locations but rather to take the time to explore the area and enjoy the suprises on the way. Thank you very much  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Teebi'''* Hi Jan, I've been traveling the last 9 weeks through south of Chile/Argentina and did a lot of the well known trails. While preparing for Villarica Traverse I found Wikiexplora and the GPT. Now I also really want to do the GPT06 and I think it will be one of my highlights just before time in Chile ends. Many thanks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Minutetravel'''* hello Jan, my name is jacques this year I discovered northern Chile and fell in love with this country. I would now like to explore Chilean Patagonia. I thank you for the incredible work you have done in mapping all the trails in this region. Thank you for accepting me on this list so I can access the files.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Greg''' Hi Jan, I'm very keen to explore parts of Greater Patagonia, particularly GPT 6-12 from January 2026. I would be very grateful for the track files to be able to achieve this. Many thanks for creating this amazing trail network.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*”Joppe” Hi Jan. I’ve been interested in the GPT since years and have finally got a chance to go to Chile for a month or maybe more. Would love to contribute to this project. I’d love to be granted access to the files. Thank you for your amazing work on this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;AthenaJones&amp;quot; Hi Jan. Hoping to solo hike the trail from the beginning of october to the end of january. My goal is not to complete the trail but to explore it until the time runs out. I will need the track files to achieve this. Thankyou for all the information you have provided, its inspiring.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;Asimo&amp;quot; Hi Jan. I'm currently solo traveling in Patagonia by bike with a packraft for 2 months and for the next 2 months. I learned about the GPT on the way and I'm interresting on several sections. Particularly for packrafting a portion of Río Baker, hiking around Torre de Avallano y glaciar O'Higgins, but also comparing options for hiking and discover more deeply Patagonia between Coyhaique and Puerto Natales.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Schmittenk''' Hi Jan. I'm living in southern Chile and have walked short sections that overlap with the route network. I'd like to look into hiking longer sections within the next couple of years. I'd appreciate being able to access the track files. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''UnChamoisEgaré'''* Hi Jan. I already had the chance to walk a part of the GPT 3 years ago alone (Adrien Kunzli) and this time I would like to do it with my 2 brothers for two months. We are preparing a little late but we have all the equipment and are in Valparaiso and we would like to start as soon as possible. I hope this is possible, thank you very much! Let me know :)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Diego Raffaeli'''* Hi Jan. I've been reviewing the GPT Hikers manual in order to planning a trail from Lago Puelo (Arg) to Cochamó (Chi). I would really appreciate if you can share the tracking files with me. Thanks in advance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Sprocky.''' Hi Jan. I've been studying the GPT hikers manual for some years now with an eye on exploring as much of the route as possible over the next two summer seasons. Keen to be a part of the GPT community and give feedback. I would really appreciate the track files to help me continue with route planning this year. Many thanks for compiling such a detailed resource. Cheers&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''SteveBehaeghel.''' Hi Jan en Meylin, thx for the recent update on the GPT files. We are currently in Pucon with our 3 kids (3ys, 6ys and 9ys). The upcoming 3 months we will continue to revisit or explore certain GPT sections on small adventures of maximum 5 days. We will trek parts of, and including optional routes, from GPT14-GPT16-GPT19-GPT21-GPT22-GPT30-GPT33-GPT35-GPT37. I will probably do some small uptdates on the FB group, but the wikiexplora pages I will update after our longer trip in the second half of 2025. Thx for all helpfull information.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Martin M.''' Hi Jan, I would like to explore some part of the GPT on foot, starting from GPT32. I only have a few weeks, so it will be just a small taste of what GPT is. Therefore having access to the track files would greatly help. Thanks a lot for all the effort you put into it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''7yson''' Hello, Jan.  Thanks for this incredible resource.  What an amazing effort that you and your community here have made.  Happy to be a part of it.  I'll be in the Esquel area in late Feb and am studying the main route for sections to hike in March, northbound likely. Thanks for considering me for access to the track files.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Daniela Montecinos''' Hi Jan! I found GPT while searching for information on packraft routes in Patagonia. Your work is wonderful! I am interested in doing some of GPT's packraft routes and being able to contribute updated information on them. Thank you so much for your work and for sharing it!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Mochilaosabatico''' Hi Jan. Tks for all information about GPT. My husband and I have just finished GPT 6 (Descabezado Grande) and we want to hike sectors 7 and 8. I would appreciate receiving the tracklogs for GPTs 7 and 8. Tks a lot!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Moonshine''' Hi Jan. I have been loving the in depth guide for the GPT. It has been an incredible resource for this upcoming trip. Thank you so much for all you have done. My friend and I are planning on spending a month in March hiking along this trail. We have yet to decide exactly where along GPT06-GPT22. We are hoping we love it so much that next year we will come back with some packrafting knowledge and do more for a longer period of time. We love being in the backcountry, and connecting with local communities. This truly appeals to us in every regard. Excited for this adventure!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Tom Venegas''' Thank you all for the fantastic work in gathering information and building this community! I’ve hiked in the Radal, Lircay, Antuco, Cochamó, and recently I’ve been exploring more of Aysén—specifically Cerro Castillo and Patagonia National Park. I’m really excited to check out Torres del Avellano and the Pioneros Road in Aysén next.  Looking forward to connecting with other hikers and sharing experiences to be part of this project!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Benoît''' Hi Jan, thank you for the incredible work you've done with the hiker's manual, it's an invaluable resource ! I started the GPT from Santiago in 2018 (sections 01 to 08), and I would like to continue from the Antuco Volcano and go south. Thanks again for all your work!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''einat shvartz''' Hello. I'm einat, i'm 26, i'm arriving solo to patagonia this January (2025), for about 2-3 months. I wish to hike the GPT, or maybe just some sections of it. I am absolutly love being in untouched nature and also meeting authentic people from all around the world. Hiking some of the GPT sounds incredible. I'm experienced with medium-long hikes (several days to 1-2 weeks top), but 0 experience with packrafting. There for I wish, at this point, to do only sections that are duable by foot (probably the more northen parts of GPT). And probably not a lot of difficult parts, at least in the begining, to see how i adapt to this new land, and to the whole thru-hiking experience. I hope that the track files will help me build and plan my own customize trail, and that i will be blessed to expirience some of it.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''jhfelner''' Hello.  I plan on hiking and maybe packrafting numerous sections of the GPT over the next few years starting with parts of GPT around Section 6 this year. Experienced with remote mountain terrain.   Would appreciate the track files for further planning.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Tomek Z''' Hi, I´m from Poland. Right now on the one-year hitchhiking trip through South America. But part of my plan was always hiking some part of Andes. This idea of GPT really looks nice. I am a student mountain guide in Poland,and so far my bigest hike was from Zakopane to Budapest aprox. 350km, 16 days. Now I would love to try someting more challenging. I want to do a part from Trapa Trapa to Santaiago. I speak spanish quite well and curently I am working in a hostel in El Chalten. :) I plan to start a hike in the middle of February. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Matthias Keil''' Hi Jan, we are Kathrin and Matthias from Germany (40yrs/42yrs) and we are both passionate hikers and have already visited lots of countries and its mountains. Since we have a kind of sabbatical in 2025/2026 we are planning to spend around 4 to 5 months on the GPT. My wife is fluent in Spanish and we are both fascinated of exploring remote areas and getting in touch with the locals combined with challenging navigation in barely untouched regions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Jordan Porter''' Hello. I plan to solo hike and packraft the Gpt starting December 2025 and hiking until April 2026. I spent three months backpacking and exploring Chile and Argentina last Jan-March so I have a decent idea of what to expect weather/transportation/etc. Your hikers guide has been a great resource so far! Looking forward to being in touch. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Ben McLuckie''' Hi Jan, along with my spouse, we want to spend 3 months hiking from PN Hornopirén north to Santiago starting in March. I am currently reading your 2024 Hikers Manual. For 3 months in 2019 we traveled from Dientes de Navarino to El Chaltén and for another 3 months in 2024 traveled from El Chaltén to Valdivia by mountain biking, trekking and connecting ferries. We are most definately &amp;quot;immersion hikers&amp;quot; and not mileage-focused thru-hikers (no judging here).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Fernanda Rodriguez''' Hi Jan, I am visiting Chilean and Argentinian Patagonia for one month. I am interested in doing the GPT 37 to GPT 40. I've been all of 2024 reading your Hikers Manual. I feel so grateful for such a beautiful contribution you have made to this, my country :)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Chloe Derrien''' Hi Jan, with my partner, we would like to go from Ushuaïa up to Peru using some GPT sections. We would like to start end of february. Thank you for the GPT hiking manual, it is a huge help and source of informations. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''DavidVidal&amp;quot;&amp;quot; Hola, de a poco he ido haciendo trayectos de varios días por la cordillera, algunos de estos se unen también a ciertas secciones del GPT. Me interesa tener estos tracks para planificar mejor mis salidas. Agradecido de tu trabajo y prolijidad en esta ruta. Leí hace un tiempo el manual, acepto las condiciones claramente.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Jason''' Hi Jan.  I'm currently looking into hiking some sections of the GPT in 2025/2026 and would greatly appreciate the track files to aid in planning.  I've read the introduction and agree to the terms and conditions.  Thank you for all that you do.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Ben Ram''' Hi Jan, I am researching hiking sections of the GPT in the Chilean Lake District with my partner in late 2025 to early 2026. It would be really great to have access to your GPS Files for this. I have read the Terms and Conditions and agree to them. Cheers. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Ana''' Hi Jan, I’m looking into hiking sections of the GPT in late 2025 to early 2026. As part of my planning, I’d love to have a look at the GPS files to decide on sections. Thanks so much for all of the work you’ve put into this, the hikers manual is particularly useful. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''EmilieV''' Hi Jan, I am planning to cross Chile from Antofagasta to Ushuaia by foot and bus and I would like to incorporate some of the GPT sections in my adventure. The sections in question are 6 to 12 SOBO and then skipping over some of the middle sections to hop back on it probably after section 32 to finish at 40. I am still figuring out if I want to add a section or two from the southern part of the GPT and would like to access to GPS files to finish my preparation. The hikers manuel and the unbounded documentary were so helpful not only regarding the &amp;quot;trail&amp;quot; but also understanding the different dynamics of the local population, so interesting!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''pointatadventure''' Hi Jan, a huge thank you to this wonderful community! I came across GPT after an extensive internet search. As an avid adventurer, I am planning a trip to Patagonia next year to hike and packraft. I have read and of course accepted the terms and conditions. It would be fantastic if you could provide the GPS files for my project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Steve Hawkins''' Hello Jan and thank you for considering me for the GPT track files.  I have read all terms and conditions, and I agree to comply.  I also agree to contribute to the community.  I am a &amp;quot;soon-to-be&amp;quot; retiree and have backpacked extensively in the United States. I would like to hike sections of the GPT over several years in 60–90-day increments beginning in Winter 2025-2026.  I am beginning the research process for the first section hike in Patagonia and would love the assistance of the track files.  Thank you for your consideration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Matias Federici.'''Hi Jan, I am going to do S14-15-16-17 next week, dont have much time for preparations because I was just noticed in my work that i have the vacations abiable, Been years reading About de GPT, this is the first time I have the money and time to try to do some, Im realy looking foward to this, thank you for the incredible job you started, best regards from argentina! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Use the format:&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Michael G.''' Hi Jan, I am planning on hiking sections 1 to 22 NoBo of the GPT from early March 2025, beginning in El Chaltén. I would like to thank you for the selfless work you did on making the GPT what it is. I'd be grateful if you could provide the GPS files for my project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Al and Bee''' Hi Jan, we are planning on hiking parts of the GPT starting in early January 2025, probably beginning in El Chaltén and hiking north. Thank you for the incredible Hikers Manual on the GPT. The GPS files would be extremely helpful for our endeavor. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Juergen''' Hi Jan,  My name is Jürgen Wolf. First of all, I want to thank you for the Greater Patagonia Trail project. I'm planning to some chapters in February, probably from stage 21 in northern direction. I'm currently in the process of studying the manual and creating a plan for myself, for which the GPS files would be helpful&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Pierre-Marie''' Hi Jan, I have been hiking since 27/11 from Santiago to El Chalten. Thank you for your work and efforts to keep this trail alive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Dustin''' Hi Jan, I am heading down to Patagonia this summer and planning to explore some of the packrafting sections.  I'm planning to start exploring out of Coyhaique in early January.  It is really wonderful that you are putting together a resource like this for an area you love.  Your passion really comes through in the guide.  Thank you so much for all that you do.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Miguel''' Hi Jan, my name is Miguel Rodríguez Letelier, i live in Chile, love hiking and the mountains. I am planning to hike the GPT in the summer. Thank you for all the work and passion you put in this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Henri''' Hi Jan, let me first say how thrilled I am that the GPT guide exists and that there are all these incredible resources available for free all in the name of hiking! I am looking at the possibility of hiking a section of the GPT this coming February. I have my selection narrowed down to a few different sections but I am still a little indecisive. I will only have about a month to hike the sections of the GPT until I need to go home. I am hoping to get ahold of the Track Files so that I could better understand the scope of what I might be embarking. I've made myself a spread sheet showing every section of the trail from GPT 001 through GPT 040 where I include data and details to more easily narrow down my decision, and with this I feel that I am ready to get into the fine details of planning a relatively short hike on the GPT (3 weeks or a month).   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Graham''' Hello Jan, My name is Graham Hall. I am very interested in hiking the GPT between December and February of 2025. I am beginning my planning process, and I would love your insight. I will say, this is somewhat new to me, not in the outdoor sense, but in perspective. I have worked as a backcountry guide leading canoe trips for several years, but thru-hiking is newer for me at least in the packing sense -although I have been doing some smaller trips. I am fluent in spanish and confident in my abilities in the backcountry, specifically in outfitting and planning so I am excited about getting my hands on the most up to date maps and trip notes to plan my route. I also am looking to plan some pit stops to try and attract my other guide friends to join me for sections, but I just need to get to planning. I also would just love to get some more advice. I will say, pack rafting sounds insanely cool (from my canoe experience) but I also know the dangers that come with solo water travel, especially in such windy conditions. I would love to discuss this further, if you have the time. Either way, I hope this gets to you, wikiexplora do me right! &lt;br /&gt;
I hope we speak soon,&lt;br /&gt;
Graham&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Nono''' Hi Jan! I am planning to hike the GPT from Puerto Montt to Santiago. I'll be starting in February. I'm currently planning the hike and the guide is really fantastic. Congrats and thank you for putting together such useful information. I hope I can help contribute too. Best, Arno.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Timotheed''' Hi Jan, I am planning to hike on the GPT from El Chalten to Santiago with a friend. We'll start in February, and we ll make it to Santiago with some junctions by bus. I am currently trying to plan our trip and therefore I would like to use the GPT track files. Thank you so much for the amazing informations you provided.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''dmateria''' Hi Jan, I am planning to packraft the packraftable (GPT16+) out of the GPT from end of December onwards, thus I'd gladly make use of the existing tracks. Thanks for the amazing community you have helped building.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Mishun''' Hi Jan, me and my wife Anna plan to hike on GPT as a part our trip to Chile in December. We aim to hike sections GPT 06 and GPT 07 but we keep our plans open to change depending on the current conditions. Thank you for all your effort.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;'MiaimZelt&amp;quot;' Hi Jan, thank you a lot for sharing so much informations in the GPT Manual. My husband and i are currently in Chile and will be until April. We planned to do a lot of multi-day hikes off the beaten path, which are part of the GPT, without knowing about the GPT. Less than 2 weeks ago an other hiker advised me about the GPT. This way i found out we'll be section hikers on the GPT. Now i'm reading every day in the Manual and try to improve my planning as best as i can without the files. Since then i considered if i should add myself to the list, although i'm definately late. Decided to give it a try. The gpx-files would be a great help to find out about alternative routes of our planned treks and to understand all the log-entrys, which are related to the files.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Elijah Fuller''' My friend Michael and I are experienced thruhikers who are looking to do something very different from our previous experiences; the GPT. We'll have approximately 2 months to complete the GPT in January and February 2025. We're currently route planning, with sections GPT05-22 or GPT32-47 being the two sections we're considering. It's time to jump on Google Earth! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*“Raphael Chevalier” Greetings and thank you for all the research and detailed information found in the Guide Manual. I have read chapter 1 and am further into getting info on that very intriguing trail. I have a GSP and would like to use the GPT gps coordinate to further research the sections I am planning to do starting January 2025. Once again thank you for the community and available information.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Roman''' I already did parts of the GPT in the 23/24  Season and fell in love with it!:) So I want to continue where it stopped GPT82P / GPT 33. Looking forward fore some new explorations and the new stories to tell of the people I meet! :)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''gornik''' Me and my grilfriend Gabi would like to hike once again on GPT. Last time we were here in 2023 and now we are planning to come back ready to experience GPT with all its beauty and challanges. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Peggy'''  Hi Jan, a lot of gratitude for you work and for charing it. It's a wonderful gift! I plan to start the gpt late december 2024 and walk until march or april wherever I get. Then I probably do the south part next year. For the momeent, I study the manual, analyse the route and my gear so I would be happy to have the gps files to go further in this preparation. Talk with you soon I hope and I am happy too to be a part of this community.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Mttmllr''' Hi Jan, I live in Biobio region Chile, and in the past few years have done some hikes in the Andes that have been on GPT routes. I'm interested in the track files to enable me to continue exploring (slowly, year by year, I don't plan on leaving Chile any time soon) the different segments of the GPT. Many thanks for all your work and dedication to this project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''BeingGarrett''' Jan ... I am looking to start the GPT this year (2024) in Santiago, I have an unlimited timeline and acknowledge that the GPT can not be done in a single season, therefore I would like to directly view the GPS files to map a roughly 1000 mile section. Go far, not fast. Thank you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Kare-Bare Blvd''' Hi Jan, my GF and I are super stoked to have found such a wealth of knowledge available for our planned adventure to Patagonia.  We have 2 months and are very much interested in the Packrafting portions between 17-39, plus all the side quests and hikes along the way.  We don't plan to complete all these sections in 2 months but we really think that the track files will help in our planning and prioritizing of sections so that we can get the most out of our adventure and to do it safely.  GPT 2026! B-K&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''ClickClack''' Hi Jan, myself and a friend are planning on doing sections 1 through 40 from mid-November 2024 to March 2025. We hope to complete the whole thing and the track files would really help! Thank you for the incredible amount of effort you have put into this!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Simonlusignan''' Hi Jan, I am planning my 1500km hike through some GPT sections. I am starting from El Chalten in January 2025 and will be doing sections 32 to 40 and 6 to 12.

&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''sigg''''' Hi Jan, I'm Chris and I was thinking about spending some time on the GPT as a solo traveller beginning mid January to beginning of March 25. Yet, as I want to plan thoroughly, I'd love to take a look into the gpx files in order to better understand the terrain to choose to legs I feel confident in mastering. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''HugoT''''' Hi Jan, I'm Hugo and I'm planning to spend 3 weeks on the GPT. Reading the manual was great, a real change on how I normally prepare for more well-known trails in Scandinavia, Scotland, Iceland or Nepal. In my search for true nature, I would like to start on section GTP06 and go south until 1) the trail beats me or 2) go as far as my feet will take me in the time that I have.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''veleslavia''''' Hello, I'm Olga and I'm planning to hike and packraft some sections of the Trail in late December 2024 with my partner. Thank you so much for creating the manual and the community around it!&lt;br /&gt;

*'''''Stefan''''' Hi Jan, we, my wife and I, are experienced hikers from Germany and are looking for a new long-distance hiking trail that is scenically impressive, remote and not overcrowded. We don't have a concrete schedule yet (probably in a few years, for a few months). In our search we finally came up with GPT and your manual. Both are really impressive! Thank you for your work so far! We would be happy to help supplement the manual and keep it up to date. However, we are still at the very beginning of the planning and would therefore like to use the tracks for further information and preparation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

*'''''Paulus''''' Hey Jan, im very impressed by your detailed planning and knowledge of the patagonian mountains. I really enjoyed reading your short manual for the trail even though I should have actually studied for my exams. In Autumn I will finish university and now have finally the time to do a longer hiking trip again. Since im a biology student, the GPT is extremely interesting, since it would serve me as a transect to observe to Vegetation change from the north to the south. Ive always dreamed of seeing Araucarias!&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''gitano''''' Hi Jan I enjoy hiking and I have a lot of expirience hiking patagonia for the last 6 years. I grow up in Osorno and i would like to hike my own land. I will love to cooperate and keep up this exelent job!&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''Maxfelis''''' Hi Jan, I'm a hiking enthusiast living in Santiago. I recently did &amp;quot;Sendero del Condor&amp;quot;, and I met someone that was doing the GPT06. I would love to collaborate with the GPT project, and explore other sections. Thank you so much for all your work!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''txrx''''' Hello Jan, I'm a hiking enthusiast living in Bariloche. I am always researching new routes and many times I end up scanning the GPT Hikers Manual. I can't believe how much work and love has been put by all the contributors to build this, thank you very much! I would love to help to keep the GPT growing responsibly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''Bebo'''' Hello Jan, I First heard of GPT while traveling through Peru, Bolivia and Argentina by bike. Rightnow I meet with my Brother in Buenos Aires and we want to hike remote trails for the coming 2 months. The GPT sounds just perfect, so we really would love to get the GPX files. We are aware of the fact that the trails lead through privat Land and nature. We treat both with hugh respect! Thanks for your work! Greetings from germany!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''Marilynemg''''' Hi Jan! I have been discussing the GPT with hiker friends for the last ten years and I finally will be able to visit Chile in March and April. I want to start with sections 1-8 and I have a couple more on the radar, time and weather dependent. Thank you so much for all your work!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''Retezepe''''' Hey Jan, we are very grateful for the invaluable resources you have compiled for the GPT. We're looking forward to being a part of this project! My partner and I are currently in Chile and interested in hiking a couple of sections of the GPT. The sections that currently interest us the most are sections 19 and 37H. We will be in Greater Patagonia from February to March.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''TrailsOfWander''''' Hi Jan. Thank you very much for your envaluable work for the GPT and for your guidance. I am traveling to Chile on Feb 11 to hike GPT06 and partial GPT08 and 09. Unfortunately I don’t have much time for this trip but I will plan future trips for other sections so the Track Files of GPT will be very valuable as the Manual is. Thanks again!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''AlexNecky''''' Hello Jan, thank you for all the work you've done putting this trail together!! My friend and I have been eyeing the GPT for a while. After much researching using your information and additional sources, we have tickets to Santiago for the beginning of March. Our plan is to start with GPT06 and going SOBO thru GPT10 or as far as we can for the month that we have. We're both super excited about this adventure and look forward to contributing back to the community with our experience!! Thanks again! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''Dueser''''' Hi Jan. I am deeply impressed by your work. Not only the time you spent on the GPT, but also all the documentation and the manual. During reading the manual I realized that 10 years ago I explored a few GPT stages in the north without knowing about the GPT. This time I'm deliberately heading south. I'll certainly put my experience to good use for the project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''CharlieGardner101''''' Hey there Jan! Charlie here! Wow, what an incredible community you've created here. I couldn't be more excited to explore this wonderful and wild part of the world and to become a contributing member of this initiative you've begun! I will be flying into El Chalten in the first week of February and, along with a few friends, hope to hike a variation of GPT sections 38-40. Later on (mid-late march), we hope to move further North to try our hands at a section somewhere between GPT 6 and 12. Thanks for everything you do! Cheers!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''Zsu''''' Hi Jan! I would like to hike parts of GPT32-40 in the upcoming weeks. More details in the email. Thank you very much!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''Fernanda''''' Hi Jan! First and foremost, a sincere thank you for your impressive work. It is so valuable to have this type of initiatives in Patagonia. I am Chilean and mountains have been my backyard since I was a kid. I am planning to do GPT35 and GPT 36H with my brother Francisco. He is also close to nature and a entrepreneur based partially on Puerto Bertand since 2020. I've shared the hikers manual with him and he was very thankful and impressed with this initiative. I would also be interested in contributing with adding highlights and changes to the track. Global warming is slowly but steadily modifying nature.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''Daemos''''' Hi Jan! My name is Andrew, and I am a Canadian travelling in Patagonia for the next two months. I was planning to hike the Condor Circuit, but I've read online of some difficulties lately and am interested in investigating one of the variations of GPT6 as an alternative. I would also be interested in adding some highlights of the GPT to my plans as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''PauMau2024''''' Hello Jan! My name is Paulina and I thank you so much for your work. It´s an impressive work that you have done! From february on my partner Flo and I want to explore and hike from Futaleufu to O'Higgins, GPT 71 and GPT35-39. Beginning in Futaleufu we will take around 5 days to get to Chaiten where we will have a resupply and then continue hiking down until the end of the carretera Austral. We are happy to share our GPS log and further information&amp;amp;experience, hopefully support future travelers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''madnomad''''' Hi! My name is Elias. We are a couple from Greece travelling around the American continent on a campervan, motorcycle, packraft and hiking equipment! We are already on the road for 5 months and we are currently in the Argentinian part of Patagonia. We love it here and it would be great to try a few sections of the GPT. We are not planning to do anything extreme, just enjoy a few highlights of the GPT at first!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''acivs''''' Hi! My name is Agnes. I'm from Switzerland and love trekking. I did several hikes in the Alps, the Andes and in Patagonia. In August 2022 I started backpacking through South America and got trapped in Tortel about a year ago. Last March I read for the first time about the GPT and was fascinated by it. For the moment I am planning on doing my first to sections, GPT36H and GPT35.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''wandering_guanaco''''' Hey all! My name is Jack and I am an American outdoors-person interested in hiking sections 16-23 this austral summer, and hope to continue to complete sections of the GPT as I continue to work in Chile for a few months of the year every year. This project is amazing and I am stunned by the thoroughness of the documents I have read so far. From the intentions of the project as a hike undertaken only by those who are prepared, to the particular comments on the links between fundraising and the inevitable outcome of the trip itself, I really appreciate the time and thought that has been put in to not just the adventure portion, but also the preparation, reputation, and impact of the hike. I feel lucky to have explored chunks of Patagonia in my past and cannot wait to broaden my experiences through these sections and information in the future. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''bistarai.bistarai''''' Hello! My name is Susie, I’m French-Canadian and planning on hiking sections 6 to 18 (although very flexible) as a first attempt on the GPT which I have been eyeing for a while now. Eventually I’d love to try packrafting in more southern sections in a couple of years!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''mollycargill''''' Hello, my name is Molly and I am a medical doctor from Australia with a lifelong love of the outdoors and an interest in wilderness medicine. As a part of an Expedition Medicine course I am currently undertaking I need to create an in depth logistics plan for a trip which I want to go on, which I have chosen as packrafting sections 16-25 of the GPT. I have had my eye on the GPT for a while, and hopefully can use the finished product of this assignment to help me finally attempt some of the GPT in the 2024/25 season. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''HHGTPE''''' (Hitchhikers guide to planet earth) Hey, I am Felix. I hitchhiked around the globe for three years some time ago and now I am doing a semester abroad in Buenos Aires for my uni. While looking for long distance tracks in Patagonia, I came across the GPT and very much fell in love with the whole concept. This year I would like to do some of the shorter and easiest hiking parts of the GPT but hopefully come back in the future to do some longer and connected parts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''fabianundcecile''''' Hola de San Rafael, Argentina. We are travelling to southern Patagonia and thought we could hike some sections of the PGT along the way. Maybe starting with GPT 7 southbound. Saludos Cécile y Fabian&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''czimahi'''''Hola Jan, por favor me podrías enviar el file para ir alguna parte entre GPT18 a GPT5? Muchas gracias &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''nico142857''''' Hola desde Chile!. Escribo en español por razones políticas más que practicas. Primero que todo, gracias por recolectar, sintetizar y compartir la información. Me interesa recorrer la parte norte de los 'senderos' y me interesan tener los .kmz para 1) tener una ayuda, 2) no abrir mas senderos y respetar la naturaleza y 3) dar feedback a la comunidad. Saludos&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''Ggeoff88''''' Hello everybody ! My name is Guillaume from France and I'm actually in Bariloche preparing my adventure to go to El Chalten by foot. You guys did an incredible Job of research, documentation and exploration... Today I'd like to inspire of your work in order to prepare my road. It's normal for me and will be a pleasure to share my experience after it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''MysticalMarauder''''' Hi my name is Misha and I'm in Chile with an old friend about to the depart on a greand adventure December 2023 onwards. Heading south in the coming days with the zenith of our travels the Punta Arenas/Puerto Natales area. Then turning around and heading back north after a month or 2. Eager to get on the GPT in either direction in the coming months/years? Not sure how long this adventure will last but hopeful to hike many kilometers on this network. Thank yiou to Jan and this commmunity for establishing this route and creating this excellent resource for those excited to get off the well-traveled roads and disappear into the wild for a bit. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''Lazy_Lemon''''' Kia ora! Looking to get amongst the Patagonia trails so thanks so much for putting all this information together!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''Sam Odin'''''' Hello! Thank you so much for this impressive work. The detail and love put into the GPT manual is truly a gift to us all. Between January 15 and February 5, my partner Sara and I are planning to explore as much of GPT33 as possible. Beginning in Villa Cerro Castillo we will take 8 to 10 days to get to Puerto Ingeniero Ibáñez (where we will have a resupply) and then take about the same time to get back to Villa Cerro Castillo. We would love to share our log and GPS information, hopefully further illuminating future travelers to the less frequented routes and parts of this section&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''''Jonathan Mudde'''''' Hi Jan,  I'm planning to walk a few sections of the GPT in the very south and in the north. I'll start on the  first of January around Ushuaia. And after that I like to use the border close to O'Higgins and hike some parts around Laguna de la laja  I'm looking forward to use the gpx files. Thanks in advance! I have read many parts with great respect for your work and honering the lokal people. Regards Jonathan Mudde/Abishaloom&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Matthias''' Küme naqün antü! I've been following this fascinating idea for years, and now I can hopefully explore a small part of it myself and contribute to its long-term existence. I will arrive in Santiago in January, then I would like to follo'''w the GPT southwards, walking until about GPT20. But I am flexible in my plans on the ground, I am open to spontaneity and ever-changing challenges. Alles Leben ist Problemlösen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Carina''' Hi! Thank you so much for the detailed GPT resource you have created. It's been a dream of mine to hike/trail run through parts of Patagonia, and it would be really helpful to see the GPT track files to help with my route planning. I'm planning to go in 1-2 years from now, so plenty of time to plan still. Very happy to contribute / provide feedback on route sections once I'm there myself. Thank you :)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Paulina''' Hello everybody. First of all, I would like to thank you for all the huge  job you put into this projekt. I'm really amased. I will start a part of GPT in January, I'm especially interested in GPT because it seems wild, unspoilt and very interesting from cultural point of view. I also love the idea that everyone can create its own trail and that three is no one and the best option. Living in Europe where in some parts of the mountain we focus maybe too much on kilometers and speed, it seems that GPT offers something much more important. I will be more than happy to contibute to this beautiful projekt. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Mitschu''' Hello, after spending 9 weeks in Patagonia (pre pandemic) I am back with the aim to explore even more :) I thought about starting in Bariloche, explore the lake area going north (following part of Huella Andina) and finally cross over to chile and start at section 16 southbound mid/end of december. I used the pandemic for some long distance hikes in europe (GR5, half of GR10/11 and TMB) and cant wait to enjoy the beauty of patagonia. I will hike solo but open to meet up with fellow hikers if someone happen to be in the area :) I am following the project since 2 years... impressive work. Happy to contribute as well! Looking forward hearing from you! Thanks&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Rainbow16''' Hi Jan &amp;amp; fellow hikers! My name is Tanja and I am currently planning to walk Sections 6-22 starting end of December 2023. Still a bit dizzy from reading the hikers manual (what a great documentation!), I am excited to further explore this Patagonian trail network via the track files. A huge thanks to Jan and Meylin for their adventurous spirit and dedication as well as all other collaborators (what a cool community!). Looking forward to contributing myself once I put my feet on GPT grounds. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Frans van Driel''' Hi Jan, first and foremost I would like to thank you for all the work you put into the GPT. Truly impressive to read the manual! I'm planning to walk a few sections of the GPT. I'll explain more in detail in the upcoming email. My timeframe will be half December 2023 till half January 2024. I'm looking forward to this amazing experience and would like to start some more detailed planning using the gpx files. Thanks in advance! Sincerely, Frans van Driel&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Owen Hutchison (elhutcho)''' Hey Jan! Am incredibly impressed with what you have been able to put together with the GPT - it’s an amazing achievement for which I’m sure many are thankful. I have been reading through the manual in preparation for a trip in February and March 2024. My partner and I will make our way down from Lago Puelo (GPT 22/23) to El Chalten via a mix of different segments and pack rafting. To assist in planning and preparation, I’d be really grateful to receive the the KMZ/GPX Files. I am very happy to contribute back to the project in anyway I can. Thanks again! Owen&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Piotr Szatkowski''' Hello Jan, primarily I would like to say thank you for the massive amount of dedication you put into creating the whole guide. The quality of it, the precision everything is described with is very impressive.I would like to kindly ask you if you could share with me the KMZ/GPX Files. I am incredibly humbled to be able to discover the beauty of the regions of Patagonia. Can't wait into immerse in to this journey of solitude. I will be starting in end of December for section and or 2 heading south. Will probably hike for 2 months. I am not sure how long exactly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Ella Meyer''' Hi Jan, I am planning to walk parts of the GPT as part of a project studying and documenting people's relationships to water along long-distance trails. As per your suggestion when we talked on the phone one year ago, I would like to hike Sections 1-12. I may also skip to Sections 21, 22, 63 and 69. I am hoping to depart Southbound around late December (2023). I am very excited to embark on this journey, and welcome anyone else planning on hiking these sections to connect with me (contact info can be found on my website https://ellameyer.com/)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Vlad Ivanchuk (vladdi)''' I'm planning to walk some southern sections of GPT northbound from Ushuaia starting in December 2023 for just over a month. I look forward to immersing myself in the landscapes and culture of Patagonia, and I'd appreciate access to GPS files to enable this adventure. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Robin Marcille''' Hi Jan, hi all, thank you for this immense amount of work. After sailing from France to Ushuaïa, we are planning to walk parts of the GPT norhbound from Puerto Williams on November 2024 for approx. 3 months. We would be very grateful to access the GPS files to prepare our trip ! We are especially interested in the various options between Puerto Williams and Cochrane. We're super excited to participate to this project and would like to propose some mountaineering options !&lt;br /&gt;
   &lt;br /&gt;
*'''Cyril AC'H (Cy)''' Hi, can't wait more to get back with GG on the GPT after 2 years break, from El Bolson southbound toward Cochrane and El Chalten in a packrafting mode for those sections. No rush, side trips to fjords, we will see how far we get ! Thx for the KMZ/GPX Files ! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Martin_crgt''' Hi all, thanks for your work Jan, and for everyone's contributions to this adventure, My sister and I are planning to do the GPT in February 2024 from section 6 down south. Having the GPS data would be a great help to help us plan. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''maddidunster''' Hi Jan, Tom and I are two Australians planning to hike northbound from El Chalten to wherever we make it with the time we have from February to April 2024. Super excited, can't wait!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''guswimbo''' Hello Jan, thank you for all of your and others' work on putting together this incredible wealth of information! I'm planning on backpacking/packrafting from Cochamo to El Chalten in January/February 2023.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Oscar Crassous''' Hello Jan, I'm a french men who will travel northbound during 9 months in South America, between november and august. I have planned to walk most of the time and I am very excited to hike some parts of the GPT during my trip. Thanks for your work.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Matthieu''' Hello Meylin and Jan, former hiker on the GPT (season 2019-2020, northbound), would gladly go back on trail this year to hike some other parts southbound (Santiago-Antuco, Puyehue - Coyhaique)! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''GriffinWagner13''' Hello Jan, planning to travel to Chile/Argentinia in 2025. I'll be doing some of the sections between GPT01 and GPT40, bussing between routes as possible. I definitely want to hit some of the northern volcanoes as well as the southern routes! Super excited to hike it. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''edwinb''' Hello Jan, planning to fly to Santiago in 2 weeks. Thinking about gpt2/3 to do something close to Santiago and especially want to do the tracks in the araucania this time. gpt33h and gpt37h look very attractive to. Thanks again for all the work! Edwin&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''lilian''' Hello Jan, i'm planning to have a 3-4 months hike through Greater Patagonia, I will travel to Santiago in mid-November 2023 and maybe end my hike about March to April at somewhere south. I would be interested in the trackfiles from 1 to 69, would be incredibly grateful to have the files for further research and planning. Thank you in advance!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''zipgerm''' Hey Jan, Thank you for your work and contributing the route information to the world! I'll be in Chile/Argentina from beginning of December until April. If my feet are willing, I want to walk parts of the GPT starting with section 05 or 06 southwards. I read a great part of your guide and already bought a GPS with satellite pager - alhough I never used neither of them on my off-track hiking tours before. Looking forward to Chile and the Andes. Matthias&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''JordanJennings''' Hi Jan, my plan is to packraft soundbound sections 17-30 over the season, but will likely begin with a few (conditions appropriate)  sections between 30-40 from November after completing some packrafting training around Puerto Río Tranquilo. I would like to also thank you for dedication so much time and energy into making this possible for all of us&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''LottiRummel''' Hi Jan, thank you for all your fantastic work! We are planning to spend January 2024 in Chile and want to hike  starting from around GPT 06 southwards. I hope the gpx tracks will help us decide which sections to plan. Thanks! Alex and Lotti&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Rowe99''' Hi Jan, first of all, many thanks to you and everyone else who contributed to the manual. I have never seen so much information about such a large network for any other region in an open-source manner. I am planning to hike this year (2023) from December to mid-February starting from El Chaltén northwards with a pakraft. Thanks for all the information so far! Cheers Roman!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Jonas._____''' Hi Jan, I'm planning to hike through Patagonia from December to February/March. I will start in Puerto Montt and then go south from there as far as time and terrain permits. The great GPT Hikers' Manual did already give me a really good insight in what to expect and I would really appreciate having the GPT Track Files as well to prepare for my trip as much as possible! Thanks for your help!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''ColineW''' Hi Jan ! Thank you a lot for the amazing work you did with the &amp;quot;Great Patagonian Trail, Hikers Manual&amp;quot; ! It's full of wize advices and ideas I maybe would havenot find myself. I will go in Chili from mid-december to mid-march, meet up with my father who is currently wandering in the south. We'd like the hike northbound from GPT20 to GPT01. The GPS files would be a great help for you, since I tried my plan an itinerary on Google Earth and, as you know, I lost sight of some roads in the forest. My father has a Garmin66i, so we'll be able to send the datas of our trail to you. Have a nice day !&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Roi Keler''' Hello Jan, First of all, thank you for the amazing work you did and still do, it's a great inspiration for me. I plan to spend 3-4 months in Patagonia and I want to combine several walking sections of the GPT between section GPT01 - GPT16 &amp;amp; GPT32 - GPT46. After reading the hikers' manual and completing the preparations, I decided not to focus on a meticulous plan because it is important for me to be spontaneous and keep the options open. The GPS files in combination with the hikers' manual will allow me to choose the hiking sactions that suit me and then send the information to you and share with the community. Thanks for everything!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Marmur''' Hi Jan! We are a couple and are planning to hike the GPT from start to end, in 2 seasons (hopefully) starting next season. We have visited Patagonia in the past and can't wait to get to know it more intimately, as we loved it so much. hiking in remote locations with unmarked trails is not new to us, but we are exited about the challenges that are waiting for us at this epic terrain. this is a great chance to thank you for all this impressive work that you've been doing, and you can count on us that after all this ends for us, we will share all inputs and updates with you and the community.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Lukas Deleu''' Hi Jan, my girlfriend and I are planning to do 3-4 months of hiking through Greater Patagonia starting this december. We chose some of the sections that most appealed to us and hope to connect them by public transport. Gpt 6-12, 16-19, 32-40 is what we have in mind for the moment. Having the trackfiles would be a great help offcourse. Cheers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Huemul''' Hello Jan, I'm Frank from Irlanda.  I hope to continue southbound in November from El Chalten to Isla Navarino.  Thanks for all your help &amp;amp; advice so far. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''RoshiJ''' Hi Jan, what an amazing piece of work you've established in the GPT hiker's manual, and its amazing to see how many people are inspired by it. I am planning on exploring Patagonia starting in November, with no end date as of yet. My only goal is to wander and wonder but I'd like to do so well-informed and as prepared as possible. I already feel so after reading the manual but it would be even better to set out armed with your GPS files. I also love the idea of using wikiexplora as a platform to communicate within a like-minded community with similar goals so am enthusiastic to share my own experiences and read those of others. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Pieper92''' Holá Jan, Thank you for providing this comprehensive manual. I will travel to Patagonia in November 2023 and want to make my way from santiago to tierra del fuego by feet, on my beloved packraft but also longer sections by bus transport. Have not picked all sections but Lagos Chilenos/argentinos, parts of fjord area and tierra del fuego are in focus. Especially I want to circumvent the spoiled national parks in the south. Your guide has already been a great help up to know but the GPT track files would be extraordinary helpfull. I will especially try to provide novel exploration data by packraft.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''nickcarter884''' Dear Jan, Thank you so much for all the work you have done on this manual and the route, it's fantastic! Some friends and I are planning to do the section around El Chalten in February 2024 and would really like to follow your routes rather than the roads. Please could I have access to the GPS files so we can be in the real nature, not just the road? :-)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''delabien''' Dear Jan, I am very inspired by your manual. My partner and I plan to travel for 4 months starting from the capital Santiago going slowly to the south (starting in November 2023). Thus we would like to hike some of the sections you and the other collaborators assembled. In order to make the expedition more feasible for us we intent to use the local public transportation for some parts. Really looking forward to experience the changing landscapes during the route. Thank you&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''wbarab''' Hi Jan, thank you for all the extensive and detailed work put into this manual. My partner and I (American &amp;amp; Spanish)plan to hike the GPT from mid November 2023 until late February or March 2024. So far GPT 6-12, 14-16, 19, and 32-40 have stood out to us as a start, but our investigations continue and we plan to add at least another half dozen sections (plus some &amp;quot;maybes&amp;quot; if time permits)! To continue we would really appreciate access to the trackfiles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''ranulph24''' Hi Jan, great manual! Thank you for putting so much passion in this project. I consider hiking on the GPT in November 2024 - April 2025. I am mainly aiming for the northern part 5 - 30 and add a smaller section in the south. For refining my plans I would like to study the GPS Track Files in detail. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''MMartinez''' Hi Jan, thank you so much for this incredible amount of work.  It is really inspiring and exciting.  We are a couple (American and Polish) and we are interested in hiking some of the sections of the GPT later this year.  We have been reading the manual and adjusting and readjusting plans the more we learn (there's so much to learn!)  We would really appreciate access to the track files to help with the planning.  Thank you so much again!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''SeanMaskill''' Hi Jan, Thanks for all of your work! I've wanted to hike sections of the GPT for a few years. I've now started the research seriously and tracks would help me decide which sections I'd like to hike. Cheers Sean.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''MarmotAndBear''' Dear Jan, Thank you for putting in so much dedicated work, to create the Hiker’s Manual, and in doing so helping others to hike and appreciate this part of the world. We are a German-Singaporean couple and we have been following the GPT community for almost one year now. We have quit our jobs not long ago and have started visiting Central Asia, where we’ve been able to do some amazing hikes. Before setting foot on the GPT this coming (southern) summer, we are planning to improve our Spanish in other South American countries. We hope a few weeks of dedicated learning will do the trick. Once on the trail, we are planning to hike and packraft as much of the GPT as we can during the coming season. Let’s see how far our feet and boat will carry us :)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''guaraches80''' Hello and good afternoon Jan.  I have been reading and preparing for some sections of the trail you have put together.  I, a Mexican American, and a Colombian friend will be backpacking through Brazil and later to Argentina in the coming months and we would love to see some of the wonderful trails you and others have experienced. Obviously, because of our backgrounds we both speak fluent Spanish and have years of backpacking, hiking and bushcrafting experience.  This is something I look forward to with the uptmost energy and so will eagerly await the track files to begin further in-depth planning.  Thank you for your time. Until next time!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''blissfulmisgivings''' Hi Jan, Thank you for providing so much detailed and helpful information about the GPT! We (two Americans) are excited to try packrafting portions of the GPT beginning in November 2023. The guidance you've provided in the manual has already been invaluable to our preparations, and we look forward to reviewing and using the GPT track files in our journey. Thanks again!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''YannickCOLL''' Hi Jan, Thank you very much for your work and your dedication to the GPT. We are immersing in the GPT universe with pleasure and a growing sense of adventure. We are a couple (French and Belgian) and we’re looking to hike some sections of the GPT between mid-November 2023 until April 2024 (Sections: 1-12 / 16 / 19 / 32-40). These are the sections that we selected so far and that we are more attracted to, knowing that of course it can change. We were wondering if you could grant us access to the GPS tracks in order for us to prepare for the GPT.  We understand that this is an unofficial trail and that it is still a work in progress and we are eager to help in any way we can to continue to build this ‘trail’. Nolwenn &amp;amp; Yannick&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''daniel.s''' Hi Jan, amazing work with the Hiker's Manual! I hope to meet some of you on the trail next season. I'm planning to do some of the packrafting sections starting at GPT 17. The track files would be very helpful to make it an unforgettable experience. Greetings from Austria, Daniel &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''hevike''' Hello fellow hiking community, I'm Jens from Germany looking into hiking sections of the GPT this November until the end of February. Thanks for the amazing work you all have put into this project and I'm looking forward to contribute myself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''MartinGilles''' Hola Jan, soy Martin de Belgica y estoy planeando hacer una parte del GPT al principio de noviembre hasta el 20 de diciembre. Me gustaria tener the GPS tracks para organisarme y ver lo que me conviene mas. Muchas gracias por lo que hiciste y para permitir la exploracion de esta parte del mundo. Un placer, Martin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Marc Altena''' Hi Jan, thanks for all your hard work exploring the hidden trails of Patagonia. I'm hoping to do sections 6 to 10, 16 to 22 and 32 to 40 early next year. The GPS tracks would be helpful. Tanks in advance for sending them. Kind regards, Marc&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Lorenzo''' Hi Jan, I don't have specific plans concerning the GPT yet, but that might change soon. After the reading the first 300 pages of your guidebook it seems to me like a real challenge and an unforgettable experience at the same time. I'll call it a dream to hike at least parts of it, and extensive planning is the first step to make your dreams come true.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Joscha97''' Hi Jan, I gonna travel to Chile in the beginning of next year and I am really fascinated by the idea of the GPT. I would love to hike some parts of it, starting in Santiago. Thanks for all the work you put into this project. Greetings&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Larix84''' Hello Jan, he hablado contigo con whatsapp hace 2 semanas Mi proyecto de trail para el ano que viene se confirma, un saludo'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Noemie''' Hi Jan, thank you so much for making us discover those incredible paths and landscapes in an ethical way. I have been hiking in Chilean Patagonia for a few months now and I wish to keep discovering the region more deeply by hiking through a few sections of the GPT, especially GPT36H (ruta de los Pioneros). Depending on how this goes, and on the weather conditions, I may try to go further north around sections 08-09. Thanks for all your work, the resources you provided have been super helpful!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''TheRebel''' Hey Jan thanks for the big package of information you provide with tha website/pdf I'm in Argentina since 3 months and hiked many km in the official and more marked areas (bariloche, bolson, esquel, el Chaltén, El Calafate, Ushuaia and more) and now I'm on the way back north and wanna end up in Bolivia or maybe even Columbia in the next 6 months... I've heard about your site from a Canadian guy who did some sections more north and I thought it would be nice to do some more trails in a little more remote areas on my way north&lt;br /&gt;
Greatings TheRebel&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Jen''' Hi Jan and so, so many thanks for all the incredible work you have done here. I am currently in Peru and planning to fly south to begin the beginning of GPT01 in the next few weeks and see how long I can walk for before things become too off season. I will halt and recommence when the season comes back in. If I manage to journey to Punta Arenas in the end, whenever this might be, then I am happy! Thank you, Jen. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Ollie''' Hello Jan. I am from Wales and currently is&lt;br /&gt;
 Brazil after sailing here from Europe. My plan is to work my way towards southern Argentina where I will stop and work for a while. Hopefully improving my Spanish, get to know the culture more and spend my weekends in the mountains to prepare. The idea is to start from Tierra Del Fuego, head north and just take it step by step. The manual has been a great read thank you for being so thorough. Love it. Cheers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Silke &amp;amp; Hans''' Hello, We are a Belgian couple currently on a multiyear bikepacking, trekking &amp;amp; mountaineering trip through South-America.

We plan to connect a few sections in the great lakes region (between section GPT45 and GPT35, south to north) for about a month. And if the weather is favorable, we would explore in april a little bit of the nothern parts of the GPT (volcanos region) but without necessarily connecting steps, while being around for a workaway. Thanks a lot for all this work !&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''blklb''' Hi Jan! I'll be leaving for Chile in a few days and would like to do bits and pieces of the sections between Curico and Conaripe, perhaps farther south. I'll be combining trekking with time spent in towns/cities. This is going to be a leisurely exploration of the GPT, with the possiblity of a longer GPT-specific trip in the future. Thanks!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

*'''OriolGirona''': Hola! I'm from Barcelona but living at nearby Girona. Love hiking and cycling, being my longer tours so far between 4 and 6 weeks on the trail. I hear about the GPT two years ago while looking for new ideas during covid lockdown. I already read the manual a couple of times, and I am thrilled to travel to Santiago next November / December for a couple of month, probably starting from section 1. And at this point of planning I will apreciate to have the GPX tracks to get deeper into this process. Awesome work. Thanks a lot!!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''JuanchoUgarte''': Hola! I'm a Chilean guy that loves hiking. I hear about the GPT a few years ago.

Our most recent hiking experience was the [https://thepindosway.com Pindos way] in Greece, which consisted of finding &amp;quot;the shadow of an old mule path&amp;quot; to get up or down a mountain ridge, which taught us how to handle packs of angry shepherd dogs, and which forced on us a crash course in rudimentary Greek (as we would have gone hungry otherwise). We hope to get to know Patagonia and its people in the same way, except that our Spanish skills should be a bit better.&lt;br /&gt;

[[Archivo:Mllfr.jpg|miniaturadeimagen|Valle de frailejones vecino a las lagunas ]]&lt;br /&gt;
==Descripción General==&lt;br /&gt;
Un hermoso recorrido por las lagunas conocidas como Las Mellizas, en una caminata corta pero muy hermosa. El recorrido transcurre gran parte bajo un hermoso bosque nativo, terminando en zona de páramo poblada de frailejones. Se observan bonitas panorámicas del entorno y pequeños saltos en la quebrada que desagua las lagunas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
El sendero está bastante bien demarcado, aunque suele tener mucho barro. La señalización es escasa: únicamente en el inicio de la ruta. Teniendo en cuenta que la caminata dura apenas medio día, podría combinarse con [[Laguna Las Muchachas, Páramo de Chili]], situada por la misma vía de acceso .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Época adecuada==&lt;br /&gt;
Se puede realizar en cualquier época pero se recomienda en temporada seca de Julio a Septiembre y de Enero a Marzo&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Acceso==&lt;br /&gt;
===En vehículo propio===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Pijao}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Desde el Parque principal de Pijao se toma la carrera 5 hasta el final de la calle, cuando se transforma en la vía sin pavimentar que conduce a la población de Amaime. Durante algo más de 15 kilómetros se asciende por una carretera en regular estado, apta para todo tipo de vehículos, hasta llegar a la zona central de los cultivos de aguacate. A partir de este punto la vía se va deteriorando paulatinamente: un auto cualquiera puede avanzar unos pocos kilómetros más, pero poco después del kilómetro 20 solo se recomienda acceder en vehículo de doble tracción. Faltan aproximadamente 24 kilómetros para el inicio de la ruta en los  cuales gran parte de la vía se encuentra en pésimo estado, casi intransitable.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Se deben avanzar cerca de 22 kilómetros hasta una bifurcación donde se debe tomara la derecha, señalizado como Santa Helena. Antes de dos kilómetros, unos cuatrocientos metros después de pasar el vado del desagüe de las lagunas, (ver foto), a mano izquierda se encuentra el cartel de ingreso a la ruta.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===En transporte público y autostop===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Pijao transp}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Desde Pijao hasta el inicio de la ruta no existe ningún tipo de transporte público; se pueden contratar camperos que hacen el recorrido. La otra posibilidad es subir en autostop, en cuyo caso es fácil llegar hasta la zona de cultivos de aguacate,(son muy amables con los excursionistas); más adelante es muy escaso el tráfico, de modo que la opción es mínima. Desde la finca hasta el ingreso a la ruta son cerca de 30 kilómetros de recorrido.En caso de decidirse a realizarlo, deben considerarse mínimo una jornada de aproximación y otra de retorno. En ese caso er información acerca del atajo en [[Laguna Las Muchachas, Páramo de Chili]], sección acceso en Transporte público.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Descripción de la ruta==&lt;br /&gt;
Desde el letrero sale un camino vehicular que avanza menos de cien metros, hasta un punto donde hay un contenedor hecho con botellas recicladas. Allí el inicio del sendero no es muy claro, a la derecha del contenedor se observa un esbozo de senda que luego se define un poco más, subiendo una empinada lomita que se encuentra a espaldas del mencionado contenedor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Terminada la pequeña elevación, a mano izquierda ya puede apreciarse la senda bien demarcada, que prosigue inicialmente entre praderas. Con excepción de finales de temporada seca, el sendero es bastante embarrado, razón por la cual suelen existir varios pasos paralelos que vuelven a confluir en pocos metros.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Antes de cuatrocientos metros desde la carretera, se deja la pradera ingresando a bosque nativo. La senda sigue siendo perfectamente definida aunque con mucho barro, ascendiendo en una pendiente algo empinada. Al cabo de unos seiscientos metros de subida viene un breve descenso para llegar al desagüe de la laguna que debe cruzarse.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
El arroyo baja con bastante fuerza, y aunque no es necesario mojarse los pies para pasar, hay que tener precaución con las grandes piedras que están mojadas y son resbalosas. En la otra orilla aparece una bifurcación: la senda de la derecha es más embarrada y pendiente, pero más corta y más bonita; sigue el curso del desagüe aguas arriba, pasando a pocos metros de un bonito salto al cual llega un senderito.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
La senda de la izquierda igualmente permite continuar la ruta, pero aunque no tiene casi barro se puede prestar a confusión debido a numerosos desvíos no muy claros. En caso de tomarse debe buscarse siempre doblar a la derecha hasta reencontrar el desagüe de la laguna al lado del cual viene la senda principal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Poco después del vado se sale del bosque a vegetación de páramo. La pendiente se suaviza tornándose en terreno casi plano y aparece la primera visión de la primera laguna. El sendero sigue bastante embarrado, inicialmente casi en la orilla del desagüe, pero pronto se bifurca: se tomó la senda de la izquierda que comienza a rodear el lago por ese costado, un poco alejado del agua ya que las orillas son bastante pantanosas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vuelven a aparecer varias sendas paralelas, buscando evitar el pantano: conviene generalmente mantenerse ligeramente alejado de la laguna, sin perder el trazado del sendero principal. Se avanza entre hermosos frailejones, algunos de ellos de varios metros, lo que indica que probablemente sean centenarios, (se cree que crecen un centímetro por año).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tiempo Esperado===&lt;br /&gt;
Unas dos horas el recorrido completo.&lt;br /&gt;
{{Sin permisos}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Recomendaciones==&lt;br /&gt;
{{checklist|Checklist de equipo tipo 2: ruta de mediana altitud, sin acampe ni nieve, algo de frío}}&lt;br /&gt;
* Abunda el terreno pantanoso, llevar calzado adecuado&lt;br /&gt;

[[Archivo:Cuchilla California Sur.png|miniaturadeimagen|Perfil de la caminata Cuchilla California Sur]]&lt;br /&gt;
==Descripción General==&lt;br /&gt;
Una ruta que asciende al filo de la llamada Cuchilla California en su sector sur, siguiendo inicialmente el curso del Río Blanco e internándose luego en fantasticos bosques de niebla, para regresar por algunos tramos de vegetación de páramo cerrando así un hermoso circuito. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Se contemplan hermosas panorámicas del Valle del Río Blanco durante el ascenso y panorámicas parciales de los páramos de Chingaza desde el filo. Durante casi todo el trayecto el sendero es bastante demarcado, solo con pequeños tramos de campo traviesa sin mayores obstáculos, sin embargo carece en absoluto de señalización. Por ello y la abundancia de sendas alternas, además de la frecuente presencia de neblina, se recomienda el uso de GPS.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Época adecuada==&lt;br /&gt;
Se puede realizar en cualquier época, pero se recomienda en temporada seca de Diciembre a Marzo&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Acceso==&lt;br /&gt;
===En vehículo propio===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Acc R oso veh}} Se avanza cerca de cinco kilómetros por esta vía, ignorando un desvío a mano derecha. Unos doscientos metros más adelante de este primer desvío, se encuentra otra bifurcación en la cual hay una casa: vehículos sin doble tracción solo se aconseja llegar hasta este punto. Vehículos cuatro por cuatro podrían avanzar cerca de un kilómetro más ignorando una bifurcación a la derecha, hasta llegar al puente sobre el Rio Blanco.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===En transporte público y autostop===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Acc R oso transp}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Descripción de la ruta==&lt;br /&gt;
Tras cruzar el puente sobre el Rio Blanco se observa a mano izquierda las ruinas de una construcción en un potrero. Se debe buscar un portón en el alambrado para cruzar hacia allí, y comenzar a subir siguiendo el curso del río aguas arriba. Hay un esbozo de senda con bastante barro que sirve como eje del recorrido, pero frecuentemente resulta mejor salirse de su trazado para esquivar el terreno inundado: es más cómodo avanzar acercándose al cauce donde el terreno es un poco más firme, y dónde también así se pueden apreciar los pozos y pequeños saltos que forma el Río Blanco.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
En este primer tramo el terreno es abierto, con pradera entre el río a mano izquierda y bosque a la derecha. Ante de trescientos metros el bosque se aproxima al cauce y se debe seguir la senda que ingresa a la vegetación. Casi de inmediato el sendero gira a la derecha en una breve trepada por entre los árboles: es un ascenso sencillo de unos tres o cuatro metros, donde fuertes troncos ayudan para sujetarse. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Terminada esta breve trepada se debe doblar a la izquierda por un sendero que un par de metros más adelante se bifurca; hay que seguir el ramal derecho que prosigue el ascenso, ahora con un trazado bien demarcado, hasta salir rápidamente a un nuevo potrero. Llegando nuevamente a terreno abierto la senda se desdibuja: se continua subiendo inicialmente al lado del bosque y luego abriéndose suavemente en una diagonal a la derecha, en medio de un terreno sin obstáculos pero bastante inundado.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Antes de cien metros se debe interceptar un alambrado en el cual hay que buscar el portón para cruzarlo. Al otro lado se observa una senda que dobla a la derecha para cruzar un pequeño cauce, (posiblemente sin agua en temporada seca); luego del arroyo hay que volver a doblar a la izquierda para proseguir el ascenso entre potreros.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aunque existe un nuevo esbozo de senda a mano izquierda, también en este caso puede resultar más conveniente subir a campo traviesa pues, con excepción de la temporada seca, el barro del sendero hace muy dispendioso el avance por su trazado, (muy frecuentado por ganado). El track se tomó en zig-zag buscando el terreno más cómodo.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
La subida por el potrero carece de obstáculos, aunque es bastante pendiente y con frecuentes e incomodos agujeros causados por las pisadas de las vacas. En los tramos donde alguna vegetación arbustiva puede incomodar el paso, el sendero transcurre por el costado izquierdo, aunque algunas ocasiones existe una senda alternativa por la derecha que vuelve a confluir con la principal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Finalmente se intercepta otro alambrado que debe cruzarse, tras lo cual la ruta gira a la derecha e ingresa al bosque. El terreno se hace un poco más grato pues las raíces de los árboles lo afirman bastante. Aunque ahora se avanza por una senda bien demarcada, hay frecuentes senderos alternos hacia los costados. La ruta transcurre bajo un hermoso bosque nativo, con enormes helechos arborescentes y grandes árboles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aproximadamente doscientos metros después del ingreso al bosque la pendiente comienza a disminuir. En este tramo se debe tener precaución con las sendas alternas pues existen bifurcaciónes no muy notorias que se apartan hacia el costado izquierdo. Para proseguir la ruta se debe ir girando a la derecha y pronto se inicia un suave descenso.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Se bajan cerca de trescientos metros y se sale del bosque a un sector de pastizales. El sendero sigue bordeando la vegetación un corto tramo y luego se torna confuso: debe buscarse unos poco metros abajo de una piedra blanca, la única que se observa en el lugar. Allí se vuelve a doblar a la izquierda y reaparece el trazado de la ruta, volviendo a ingresar paulatinamente al bosque.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tras el potrero, durante la transición del terreno abierto al bosque, viene un descenso bastante embarrado en los primeros metros, obligando a veces a evitar el sendero principal y tomar sendas alternas. A medida que se avanza mejora un poco el terreno mientras se reanuda el ascenso, ahora bastante suave y con pequeños descensos intercalados. Se avanza en un faldeo por una senda bastante marcada, sin embargo la proliferación de senderos secundarios obliga a estar atentos para no perder el principal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Al cabo de unos setecientos metros desde el último tramo abierto, la senda gira a la izquierda tomando un ascenso más pronunciado por unos pocos metros: es otro punto de precaución, estar atentos a cuando la ruta vuelve a girar a la derecha y prosigue el faldeo del cerro. Si se sigue subiendo se tomará el sendero sugerido para el regreso.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Se prosigue el avance por el bosque entre ascensos y descensos, acercándose poco a poco al filo, que se alcanza en medio kilómetro más. Allí se encuentra el antiguo sendero que recorría todo el cordón montañoso, sendero hoy casi totalmente cubierto por la vegetación.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Regreso===&lt;br /&gt;
El retorno se inicia por la misma senda de llegada durante los primeros quinientos metros, hasta el punto mencionado anteriormente donde termina el breve ascenso y se dobló a la derecha en el recorrido de ida, (waypoint bif). En realidad no es ni siquiera necesario prestar atención especial a este lugar, simplemente seguir la senda más obvia al frente. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Se inicia entonces un ascenso no muy empinado en el que pronto se va notando el cambio de vegetación: van apareciendo más arbustos y plantas propias de páramo, intercaladas con los grandes árboles del bosque. Tras unos trescientos metros de ascenso desde el punto donde se deja el sendero inicial, la ruta regresa al filo de la Cuchilla California. Aunque menos marcado que la senda de ida, el trazado de la ruta es bastante claro hasta este punto. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Siguiendo el borde del cordón montañoso, antes de cien metros se llega a una bifurcación: ambos senderos son válidos confluyendo unos doscientos metros más adelante. El track señala el de la derecha, que sigue bajo vegetación propia del páramo por menos de doscientos metros: cuando la senda se torna confusa se debe buscar a mano izquierda un sendero que reingresa al bosque y pronto confluye con el otro ramal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Los siguientes trescientos metros transcurren bajo los grandes árboles, con una senda a ratos confusa. Conviene mantenerse lo más cerca posible del filo, donde la vegetación incómoda menos el avance. Transcurrida esa distancia hay que doblar a la izquierda, buscando el descenso. Hay varios senderos de bajada, algunos muy obstruidos con vegetación; es necesario estar muy atentos a tomar siempre el más demarcado: se pueden notar las pisadas de animales a nivel del suelo.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Finalmente, tras poco más de cien metros de descenso, se confluye con la senda de ida, aproximadamente un kilómetro antes del final de la ruta.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tiempo Esperado===&lt;br /&gt;
Unas tres a cuatro horas el recorrido completo, según el estado del terreno.&lt;br /&gt;

[[Archivo:Lagunas Las Mellizas.png|miniaturadeimagen|Perfil de la breve caminata a las Lagunas Las Mellizas]]&lt;br /&gt;
==Descripción General==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Época adecuada==&lt;br /&gt;
Se puede realizar en cualquier época pero se recomienda en temporada seca de Julio a Septiembre y de Enero a Marzo&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Acceso==&lt;br /&gt;
===En vehículo propio===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Pijao}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Desde el Parque principal de Pijao se toma la carrera 5 hasta el final de la calle, cuando se transforma en la vía sin pavimentar que conduce a la población de Amaime. Durante algo más de 15 kilómetros se asciende por una carretera en regular estado, apta para todo tipo de vehículos, hasta llegar a la zona central de los cultivos de aguacate. A partir de este punto la vía se va deteriorando paulatinamente: un auto cualquiera puede avanzar unos pocos kilómetros más, pero poco después del kilómetro 20 solo se recomienda acceder en vehículo de doble tracción. Faltan aproximadamente 24 kilómetros para el inicio de la ruta en los  cuales gran parte de la vía se encuentra en pésimo estado, casi intransitable.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Se deben avanzar cerca de 22 kilómetros hasta una bifurcación donde se debe tomara la derecha, señalizado como Santa Helena. Antes de dos kilómetros, unos cuatrocientos metros después de pasar el vado del desagüe de las lagunas, (ver foto), a mano izquierda se encuentra el cartel de ingreso a la ruta.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===En transporte público y autostop===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Pijao transp}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Desde Pijao hasta el inicio de la ruta no existe ningún tipo de transporte público; se pueden contratar camperos que hacen el recorrido. La otra posibilidad es subir en autostop, en cuyo caso es fácil llegar hasta la zona de cultivos de aguacate,(son muy amables con los excursionistas); más adelante es muy escaso el tráfico, de modo que la opción es mínima. Desde la finca hasta el ingreso a la ruta son cerca de 30 kilómetros de recorrido.En caso de decidirse a realizarlo, deben considerarse mínimo una jornada de aproximación y otra de retorno. En ese caso er información acerca del atajo en [[Laguna Las Muchachas, Páramo de Chili]], sección acceso en Transporte público.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Descripción de la ruta==&lt;br /&gt;
Desde el letrero sale un camino vehicular que avanza menos de cien metros, hasta un punto donde hay un contenedor hecho con botellas recicladas. Allí el inicio del sendero no es muy claro, a la derecha del contenedor se observa un esbozo de senda que luego se define un poco más, subiendo una empinada lomita que se encuentra a espaldas del mencionado contenedor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Terminada la pequeña elevación, a mano izquierda ya puede apreciarse la senda bien demarcada, que prosigue inicialmente entre praderas. Con excepción de finales de temporada seca, el sendero es bastante embarrado, razón por la cual suelen existir varios pasos paralelos que vuelven a confluir en pocos metros.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Antes de cuatrocientos metros desde la carretera, se deja la pradera ingresando a bosque nativo. La senda sigue siendo perfectamente definida aunque con mucho barro, ascendiendo en una pendiente algo empinada. Al cabo de unos seiscientos metros de subida viene un breve descenso para llegar al desagüe de la laguna que debe cruzarse.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
El arroyo baja con bastante fuerza, y aunque no es necesario mojarse los pies para pasar, hay que tener precaución con las grandes piedras que están mojadas y son resbalosas. En la otra orilla aparece una bifurcación: la senda de la derecha es más embarrada y pendiente, pero más corta y más bonita; sigue el curso del desagüe aguas arriba, pasando a pocos metros de un bonito salto al cual llega un senderito.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
La senda de la izquierda igualmente permite continuar la ruta, pero aunque no tiene casi barro se puede prestar a confusión debido a numerosos desvíos no muy claros. En caso de tomarse debe buscarse siempre doblar a la derecha hasta reencontrar el desagüe de la laguna al lado del cual viene la senda principal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Poco después del vado se sale del bosque a vegetación de páramo. La pendiente se suaviza tornándose en terreno casi plano y aparece la primera visión de la primera laguna. El sendero sigue bastante embarrado, inicialmente casi en la orilla del desagüe, pero pronto se bifurca: se tomó la senda de la izquierda que comienza a rodear el lago por ese costado, un poco alejado del agua ya que las orillas son bastante pantanosas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vuelven a aparecer varias sendas paralelas, buscando evitar el pantano: conviene generalmente mantenerse ligeramente alejado de la laguna, sin perder el trazado del sendero principal. Se avanza entre hermosos frailejones, algunos de ellos de varios metros, lo que indica que probablemente sean centenarios, (se cree que crecen un centímetro por año).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tiempo Esperado===&lt;br /&gt;
Unas dos horas el recorrido completo.&lt;br /&gt;
{{Sin permisos}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Recomendaciones==&lt;br /&gt;
{{checklist|Checklist de equipo tipo 2: ruta de mediana altitud, sin acampe ni nieve, algo de frío}}&lt;br /&gt;
* Abunda el terreno pantanoso, llevar calzado adecuado&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[Archivo:Quebrada Chorrera Negra.png|miniaturadeimagen|Perfil de la caminata a la Quebrada Chorrera Negra]]&lt;br /&gt;
==Descripción General==&lt;br /&gt;
Una ruta corta pero un poco exigente, por las condiciones del terreno a recorrer. Se desciende al Río El Artezón cruzándolo para remontar uno de sus afluentes hasta su nacimiento: La Quebrada Chorrera Negra, cuyo inicio se encuentra ya dentro de la Reserva Nacional El Ángel y cuya parte final pertenece a un área de conservación dentro del programa Socio Bosque.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
La ruta transcurre por un sendero que, si bien está demarcado en forma notoria la mayor parte del recorrido, se encuentra bastante invadido por vegetación, de forma que en algunos tramos es fácil perderlo si no se está atento. Excepto el letrero de Bienvenida, no existe señalización alguna. Se avanza casi todo el tiempo entre vegetación nativa de páramo, con un gran predominio de frailejones, que forman un hermoso espectáculo. Si está despejado se pueden apreciar bonitas panorámicas del Valle del Artezón y un excelente primer plano del Volcán Chiles, junto con su compañero el Cumbal, ya en territorio colombiano. Hay buenas posibilidades de avistamiento de fauna nativa, especialmente zorros y venados cola blanca&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Época adecuada==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Acceso==&lt;br /&gt;
===En vehículo propio===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===En transporte público y autostop===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Descripción de la ruta==&lt;br /&gt;
Se cruza el portón tomando la vía que conduce a las termas por la cual se avanzan un poco más de doscientos metros, hasta la segunda curva de la carretera. Allí se debe estar atento a un desvío a mano izquierda no muy notorio, un pequeño sendero cuya entrada no es tan obvia.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tomando este desvío se inicia un descenso ligeramente empinado rumbo al río. Se avanza por un sendero perfectamente demarcado en medio de vegetación de páramo donde predominan los hermosos frailejones. Al cabo de unos seiscientos metros se llega a una bifurcación ya bastante cerca del cauce: se debe doblar a la izquierda, siguiendo una senda que ahora va paralela al río, aguas abajo.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Comienza un tramo con una senda a veces muy clara, pero en otros momentos desaparece de la vista perdida entre grandes pastizales. Se debe observar el surco a nivel del suelo, que sigue siempre bastante cerca de la ribera. Aproximadamente unos trescientos metros después de llegar a inmediaciones del río, se encuentra el sitio más apropiado para cruzarlo, poco después de pasar al lado de un solitario pino, (ver foto). Es importante en este sitio seguir siempre la orilla del cauce, ya que en este punto hay un sendero que recorta una curva en U que realiza el curso de agua.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
El vado es fácil en condiciones normales, pero es indispensable mojarse los pies. Al otro lado hay que trepar un poco y buscar una senda que sigue bajando paralela al cauce. En unos de cien metros se llega a la confluencia del río con la quebrada, sitio donde la senda dobla a la derecha y comienza a remontar el afluente.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
El sendero transcurre aguas arriba de la Quebrada Chorrera Negra, bastante cerca de su orilla pero sobre una terraza fluvial unos tres metros arriba del agua. Los primeros doscientos metros son más o menos claros, luego se desciende hasta el borde del cauce, casi en frente del letrero que da la bienvenida al área, situado en la margen opuesta.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Al descender a la ribera la senda se torna bastante confusa, ya que en algunos tramos queda totalmente oculta bajo grandes pastizales. Sin embargo el surco del sendero sigue debajo de la vegetación aunque a menudo no se vea: hay que prestar mucha atención para no perderlo y seguir avanzando paralelo a la quebrada, aguas arriba. Son aproximadamente doscientos metros bastante enredados, en los cuales el trazado de la ruta se percibe más que verse. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Transcurrida esta distancia se va saliendo a una zona pantanosa donde se observa mejor la senda que va acercándose a la base del cerro que se observa en frente. Dónde quebrada viene saliendo en medio de grandes paredes, la senda se aparta un poco de su orilla comenzando un ascenso ligeramente pendiente. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Durante la subida el sendero es mucho más claro, pero debe seguirse teniendo bastante atención porque a veces se pierde por pequeños tramos; aunque es fácil reencontrarlo, siempre acercándose a la quebrada, que ahora corre al fondo de un profundo cañón, cuyas paredes se encuentran casi totalmente cubiertas por vegetación. Si está despejado se comienza a observar a la derecha un excelente primer plano del Volcán Chiles. &lt;br /&gt;

==Descripción General==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Huemules de Niblinto&amp;quot; consiste en una Reserva y Santuario ubicados en la comuna de Coihueco, Región del Ñuble, Chile: Un Santuario de la naturaleza, de CODEFF, y una Reserva Nacional.  Ambas unidades son administradas en conjunto por CONAF.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
El parque forma parte del Corredor Biológico Nevados de Chillán-Laguna del Laja, con un énfasis importante en la protección de huemules, razón de su nombre.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
El acceso al parque es por un camino forestal maderero y luego una huella de tierra en mal estado, solo accesible para vehículos 4x4.  Dada la poca afluencia de visitantes, a que el parque no tiene senderos habilitados (salvo un tramo de 700 metros alrededor del sitio de camping), y a que no existe transporte público al parque, esto genera un interesante incentivo para realizar el acercamiento en bicicleta, yendo por el día o acampando en él.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Este articulo puede ser seguido tanto como para vehículos 4x4, bicicletas, o incluso a pie, coordinando en el último pueblo de Minas del Prado un vehículo que acerque al inicio del camino 4x4, y luego caminando los últimos 7km hasta el parque.&lt;br /&gt;

==En vehículo propio==&lt;br /&gt;
El pueblo mas cercano al parque es Minas del Prado, en la comuna de Coihueco.  Para llegar a él desde Chillan se debe tomar el camino asfaltado y en buen estado hacia Coihueco. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
En Coihueco, dirigirse hacia el norte hacia la localidad de Niblinto a aprox. 7 km. Desde ahí cruzar el puente del mismo nombre y encontrar la siguiente señalización. Doble a su derecha hacia la localidad de Minas del Prado. Este tramo de 11 km es de ripio y en buen estado, sin embargo tenga máxima precaución por ser un camino angosto con transito frecuente de camiones madereros.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Al llegar a la localidad, encontrará el letrero “Bienvenido a Minas del Prado”. Si desea abastecerse, doble a la izquierda, ingresando a la localidad.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===En transporte público y autostop===&lt;br /&gt;
No existe transporte publico al parque y el escaso movimiento vehicular hace difícil llegar a auto-stop.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Existen buses diarios a todo horario desde el terminal rural La Merced en Chillan, (Paseo La Merced, Maipón n° 890 Teléfono: 042 42 38 14 – 042 22 36 06).  Llamar directamente ya que los horarios cambian durante el año.  Así mismo desde Coihueco es posible tomar bus a Minas del Prado.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ruta Chillán → Coihueco : Buses Expa, Buses JS (teléfonos respectivos: +56 42432451 y +56 42852430)&lt;br /&gt;
* L – S: cada 10 minutos desde las 7:00 hasta las 22:00.&lt;br /&gt;
* Domingos y festivos: cada 15 minutos desde las 7:00 hasta las 21:00.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Descripción de la ruta==&lt;br /&gt;
Para dirigirse a la reserva, tome el camino hacia la derecha antes del letrero. Unos metros más adelante encontrará un puente pequeño e inmediatamente un portón metálico. Deberá ingresar por el portón, internándose por predios forestales, donde mantenga las precauciones respectivas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Una vez que ingrese por un portón hacia los predios de la forestal, siempre debe seguir el camino principal con ripio (El más marcado; No tomar caminos secundarios). Si no encuentra el portón, diríjase al poblado y consulte por el camino que va hacia la Reserva Nacional Los Huemules de Niblinto.  Otra pista de que se va por el camino correcto son las señaléticas verdes de vialidad indicando los kilómetros recorridos de la ruta.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A unos pocos metros encontrará señalización roja que indica la dirección hacia la Unidad. Luego, deberá continuar por el camino principal, encontrándose cada cierta distancia con señalización. A 18 km transitando por el camino forestal se encontrará con un letrero azul sobre el huemul, y&lt;br /&gt;
unos pocos metros más adelante un desvío señalizado hacia la derecha la entrada al parque.  En este punto parte la ruta 4x4, tomando 30 minutos en vehiculo hasta este punto.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Los 7 Km. que restan hasta la reserva, son de un camino de tierra, estrecho y sinuoso, con algunos virajes peligrosos, pasos angostos por el borde del río y con puentes en regular a mal estado, por lo que se debe tener la máxima precaución, ir a baja velocidad y sólo ingresar si dispone de vehículo alto 4x4.  Los últimos 7 kms toman 1:20 horas de viaje en vehículo 4x4.  Se recomienda detenerse antes de todos los puentes para verificar el estado de estos.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
En caso de ir en bicicleta tener la máxima precaución en las bajadas ya que pueden encontrarse vehículos en sentido contrario.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===En el Parque===&lt;br /&gt;
El parque solo tiene un sendero habilitado de 700m que parte en el sitio de camping.  Este sendero continua bordeando el río hacia el este, en dirección a la Reserva misma.  El tramo habilitado termina en una escalera que baja hasta el río.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Según conversaciones con guardaparques, de seguir la ruta hasta el final de valle es posible subir a la laguna el Baúl, en el borde este del parque.  No obstante conseguir autorización para acceder a la laguna misma será negado.  Lo que si se nos indicó es que de tener 3 días para caminar se puede pedir autorización para recorrer el sendero completo, el cual actualmente está en desuso y solo utilizada solo para protección de fauna.  Se espera que para años futuros se pueda ir habilitando para dar mayor longitud al sendero del parque.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tiempo Esperado===&lt;br /&gt;
Desde minas de lo prado:&lt;br /&gt;
* En vehículo 4x4 : 1:30 horas.&lt;br /&gt;
* En bicicleta: 3 horas estimado.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Descripción General==&lt;br /&gt;
Un amplio circuito desde el Manzano hasta al paraje conocido como “El Rincón del Oso”. Todo el trayecto transcurre por viejos caminos de herradura, con algunos tramos ya desdibujados por el poco uso o por la presencia de potreros con ganadería; sin embargo casi todo el recorrido es bastante bien demarcado aunque carezca de señalización.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Se transita entre exuberantes parches de bosque de niebla, alternando con potreros. Durante gran parte del recorrido se aprecian hermosas panorámicas del Valle del Río Blanco y los cerros que lo rodean, incluyendo los cercanos páramos de Chingaza. En dos ocasiones se cruza el río por los rústicos puentes de antaño. Además la zona destaca por su riqueza en avifauna, y con algo de suerte puede encontrarse también algún zorro u otro mamífero pequeño.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Época adecuada==&lt;br /&gt;
Se puede realizar en cualquier época pero se recomienda en temporada seca de Diciembre a Marzo&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Acceso==&lt;br /&gt;
{{Acceso Manzano}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Descripción de la ruta==&lt;br /&gt;
{{Manzano}}; observando con atención se ve a mano derecha la entrada de un sendero hacia el bosque, senda más pequeña que la que se recorría, pero bastante bien demarcada, (waypoint bifurcación): es el punto donde se abre y cierra el circuito. Se puede seguir ambos ramales pero la descripción de la ruta se realiza en sentido contrario a las manecillas del reloj, por tanto siguiendo la narración, hay que tomar la senda más pequeña a la derecha.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Siguiendo este desvío continúa el ascenso por aproximadamente cuatrocientos metros más, en un tramo que transcurre entre potreros y parches de bosque. La ruta generalmente delimitada a ambos lados por alambrado, es muy clara, pero en épocas de lluvia posiblemente tiene bastante barro. Antes de medio kilómetro desde el desvío se cruza un alambre y se inicia la bajada. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sigue el avance con la misma pauta, hasta llegar en aproximadamente cuatrocientos metros más a interceptar una senda más amplia que viene bajando, la cual se debe seguir hacia la derecha, prosiguiendo el descenso. La nueva senda es bastante grande, con un trazado que llega a ser semejante al de una vía vehicular, pero está totalmente inhabilitada para el paso de autos: en varios sectores se encuentra inundada, tanto que en varios tramos, (según la época), puede ser conveniente cruzar el alambre y desplazarse por los potreros a un costado del sendero principal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Se avanza por este camino rodeado de potreros, mientras se observa en frente una buena panorámica de la vertiente Este del Río Blanco. Aproximadamente un kilómetro después de tomar la senda amplia se llega a una bifurcación: debe seguirse el ramal derecho, que continúa bajando ahora rodeado de bosque. Se desciende en una pendiente muy suave, dando un gran zigzag; se observaron algunos posibles atajos pero ninguno lo suficientemente claro durante el siguiente kilómetro de caminata.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Transcurrida esa distancia se tomó un atajo a mano izquierda, descendiendo paralelo a un pequeño curso de agua. Son aproximadamente doscientos metros de bajada sin un sendero definido, pero sin mayores obstáculos, siguiendo huellas de vacas. Se llega entonces a la planicie aluvial previa al río: debe doblarse a la derecha nuevamente, cruzar el pequeño cauce y comenzar a caminar río arriba. Hay algunos esbozos de senda pero no son muy bien definidos. Se debe buscar llegar a un  puente colgante que se encuentra antes de medio kilómetro de avance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{Circuito oso}}, una vez en  ella se debe doblar nuevamente a la izquierda y reiniciar el ascenso. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
La senda puede tener bastante barro en temporadas de lluvia, pero está perfectamente demarcada entre dos alambrados, de modo que resulta casi imposible extraviarse. Al costado izquierdo hay bastante bosque nativo, mientras al lado opuesto predominan los potreros con ganadería extensiva.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tras cerca de un kilómetro {{circuito R oso}}. Allí se debe continuar la subida paralelo a los árboles, sin cruzar el alambrado: metros más adelante se encuentra un portón tras el cual reaparece la senda.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unos doscientos metros más adelante vuelve a desdibujarse la ruta, nuevamente en potreros. Hay que ascender por esbozos de sendas, bordeando el bosque y buscando el terreno más cómodo para desplazarse. Al final del ascenso conviene irse ligeramente a la izquierda y, tras unos trescientos metros de subida, se llega a una casa.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pasando a un costado de la vivienda se sale a un amplio camino, que quizá en épocas secas sea transitable por vehículos de doble tracción, (de cualquier manera el acceso está restringido para vehículos, ya que pasa por la fábrica de cemento La Esperanza). La ruta en este tramo vuelve a ser muy clara, en medio de dos alambrados. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
El ascenso prosigue por unos quinientos metros más, luego se inicia un trayecto de suave bajada, siempre siguiendo la senda de ancho vehicular que sigue el trazado del antiguo camino de herradura. Transcurrido más de un kilómetro, el camino comienza a ensancharse, aunque sigue siendo muy rústico y en épocas de lluvia bastante inundado.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Finalmente tras más de dos kilómetros desde la casa, la senda termina en la vía que fuera parte de la antigua fábrica de cemento La Esperanza: una carretera amplia y con numerosos desvíos menores a las diversas instalaciones de la vieja industria. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Se debe caminar por esta vía 1.7 kilómetros, mientras se observan varias construcciones en ruinas. Transcurrida esa distancia se pasa por la caseta de guardia a la entrada de la fábrica, donde una barrera impide el paso de vehículos. Inmediatamente después de cruzar la barrera se debe doblar a la izquierda y comenzar a bajar por un amplio callejón: es el sendero por el que se inició la ruta. Seiscientos metros más adelante se llega al punto donde se desvió,culminando así el circuito.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tiempo Esperado===&lt;br /&gt;
Unas seis a ocho horas el recorrido completo, según el estado de los caminos.&lt;br /&gt;
{{Sin permisos}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Recomendaciones==&lt;br /&gt;
{{checklist|Checklist de equipo tipo 16: trekking de media montaña tropical, sin acampe}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Teniendo en cuenta el terreno embarrado y con mucha humedad, se recomienda llevar calzado impermeable preferentemente botas de caucho.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Dejar los portones tal como se encontraron.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot; Realizar el círculo en el sentido descrito en el texto, en sentido contrario el guardia de la fábrica La Esperanza podría eventualmente impedir el paso.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Descripción General==&lt;br /&gt;
Una ruta muy interesante, con numerosos y diversos atractivos que culminan entre cascadas y pinturas rupestres. Se inicia ascendiendo por la Quebrada El Toro, caudaloso y bello afluente del Río Melado, con abundantes pozos y pequeños saltos. Continúa trepando por los abruptos cerros que la rodean, hasta llegar a un tranquilo valle donde espera un refugio rodeado de frutales; tras el cual se toma el hermoso cauce de la Quebrada Vacas Muertas. Finalmente se trepa por un afluente de esta última que desciende en una impresionante sucesión de cascadas, hasta encontrar en su parte alta los Petroglifos que dan el nombre a la ruta.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
El sendero hasta el refugio está bien demarcado, aunque carece por completo de señalización y posee varios pasos expuestos que deben cruzarse con cuidado. El enlace con la Quebrada Vacas Muertas es a campo traviesa por la llanura aluvial de la Quebrada El Toro, sin grandes obstáculos aunque según la temporada puede requerir vadear una o varias veces. La continuación por la Vacas Muertas está bien demarcada, a pesar de ser una senda pequeña y sin señalización. Solo el trayecto final, ascendiendo hacia las cascadas y los Petroglifos, carece casi por completo de sendero, y presenta algunas dificultades, con cortos tramos expuestos dónde es necesario trepar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Época adecuada==&lt;br /&gt;
De Noviembre a Mayo, en invierno y primavera temprana la nieve impedirá el acceso a los Petroglifos. Una buena época puede ser comienzo de verano, pues las cascadas tendrán abundante agua.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Acceso==&lt;br /&gt;
{{Canal Melado}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Descripción de la ruta==&lt;br /&gt;
===Jornada uno: Puente El Látigo a Refugio Casalata===&lt;br /&gt;
A la derecha del portón hay un pequeño sendero que permite el paso peatonal, para llegar a una vía vehicular que corre paralela al canal del Melado. Debe seguirse esta vía aguas arriba, durante algo más de dos kilómetros, en un recorrido bastante plano. Transcurrida esa distancia se llega al puente sobre la Quebrada El Toro, un afluente de tamaño considerable del Río El Melado. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cruzando el puente se sigue la vía por unos doscientos metros más, hasta encontrar un letrero con la flecha que dice: “Al Parque”, en este punto se debe desviar a mano derecha tomando una amplia senda que asciende. Alrededor de cien metros más adelante la senda llega al canal El Melado cruzándolo por un puente de madera, poco después comienza un breve descenso hasta la confluencia con otro canal menor proveniente de la quebrada El Toro. Se cruza por otro puente ese pequeño canal y se prosigue por el amplio camino, ahora ascendiendo paralelo a la quebrada.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aproximadamente medio kilómetro después del letrero inicial, hay un desvío a mano derecha señalizado con una baliza: en menos de 50 metros se puede bajar por él hacia un complejo de saltos y pozos, (conocidos como los pozones del Toro), donde se recomienda refrescarse al retorno. Continuando por la ruta principal, apenas unos metros después del desvío se observa claramente que un derrumbe se llevó el sendero amplio: existe a mano izquierda un precario y pedregoso ascenso que en menos de cien metros supera el tramo derrumbado, regresando a la senda inicial. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Siguen cerca de doscientos metros paralelos a la quebrada, observándose algunos otros pozos y saltos. Transcurrida esa distancia viene un corto pero abrupto ascenso para cruzar un portón, pasado el cual la senda comienza a ganar altura alejándose del estero. Empieza una larga y empinada subida, interrumpida por un breve descenso a una abrupta hondonada, tras la cual el ascenso prosigue. El sendero es bastante definido, con tramos pedregosos y poco bosque.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Acercándose al kilómetro desde el portón se debe estar atento a un giro de casi 180° que realiza la senda para evitar una profunda hondonada. Se sigue ascendiendo cerca de trescientos metros más, tras los cuales se inicia un faldeo más suave que concluye en el descenso a un pequeño curso de agua, (con líquido inicio de otoño, waypoint agua). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pasado el arroyo continúa la bajada por un corto tramo para reiniciarse luego un nuevo y largo trayecto de ascenso. Cerca de medio kilómetro después de recomenzar la subida existe un paso bastante erosionado y ligeramente expuesto, el cual puede esquivarse por la parte superior: el desvío no figura en el track, pero estando atento es fácil encontrarlo.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
La subida prosigue casi medio kilómetro más, tras pasar el tramo erosionado. En algunas partes pedregosas la senda se desdibuja un poco, pero observando con atención es fácil reencontrarla. Aproximadamente un kilómetro después del arroyo con agua, vuelve a iniciarse un descenso: tras cerca de doscientos metros, la bajada se interna en una profunda hondonada en un trayecto muy inclinado y bastante erosionado. En otros doscientos metros de descenso muy vertical, se cruza la hondonada.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Al otro lado se inicia un corto tramo de faldeo, para luego reanudar el ascenso. Antes de medio kilómetro desde la hondonada, vuelve a bajarse a otro afluente de la quebrada. Comienzan a observarse hacia el fondo del valle los álamos cercanos al puesto Casa de Lata y los grandes cerros que gobiernan la planicie. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tras unos setecientos metros el sendero baja a la quebrada El Ñuco, un hermoso afluente de la Quebrada El Toro, con algunos saltos pequeños; subiendo pocos metros por su curso se pueden observar otros saltos un poco más grandes. El paso de este cauce no requirió mojarse los pies a comienzos de Abril, es posible que en primavera sea necesario ingresar al agua, aunque la presencia de grandes rocas sugiere la posibilidad de saltar evitando el vado. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cruzando el Ñuco se inicia el último ascenso de la jornada, desde el que se puede observar una bonita cascada en el cauce principal. Son aproximadamente trescientos metros de subida, para luego descender y comenzar un tramo casi plano que va acercándose al refugio. En la planicie el terreno abierto desdibuja en algunos momentos la senda, pero no es difícil volver a encontrarla. Antes de un kilómetro de avance, se llega al rústico refugio de arrieros, rodeado de árboles frutales y muy cerca de la Quebrada El Toro, que en este punto se abre en un amplio valle, gobernado por la imponente presencia del Cerro La Muela del Toro.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Jornada dos: Refugio Casalata - Petroglifos - Refugio Casalata===&lt;br /&gt;
Desde el refugio Casalata se debe buscar el cauce de la Quebrada El Toro, que en este punto se ha expandido en varios brazos, el primero de ellos bastante cerca. Hay un sendero que pasando bajo un manzano y un peral llega en pocos metros al lecho del cauce.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
En la época que se realizó la ruta la presencia de agua era muy escasa, por lo que el siguiente tramo se pudo realizar en una forma casi recta, ya que el cruce de los brazos era tan sencillo que en ningún momento hubo que mojarse los pies; es posible que en primavera o comienzo de verano, sea necesario buscar los mejores lugares para vadear. En esta parte de la ruta no existe un sendero, se debe caminar por el amplio cauce del estero, en una diagonal a la derecha, acercándose al primer afluente que se observa llegar por el costado opuesto: la Quebrada Vacas Muertas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
En menos de un kilómetro se debe sobrepasar la confluencia de ambos cauces, después de lo cual se debe proseguir por toda la orilla derecha, (Norte), de la Quebrada El Toro. Hay que estar atento a ese  costado a un ingreso al bosque aproximadamente cien metros después de sobrepasar la Vacas Muertas, (waypoint senda der). Apenas se ingresa al bosque se encuentra la senda, pequeña pero bien definida.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Siguiendo por ella casi de inmediato se sale del bosque ingresando a sectores con vegetación arbustiva. El sendero comienza a ascender siguiendo el curso de la quebrada Vacas Muertas pero un poco retirado de ella. Hay que estar atentos pues el trazado de la senda es muy tenue y es fácil perderlo si se descuida: no hay ningún tipo de señalización y en algunas partes algunas ramas obstruyen el paso, pero la senda es siempre visible a nivel del suelo.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pronto la subida se torna pendiente y pedregosa, ganando altura rápidamente mientras comienza a observarse una buena panorámica de la Quebrada El Toro en el sector del refugio Casalata. Al cabo de unos cuatrocientos metros de ascenso la senda gira a la izquierda alejándose del cauce y enfilando hacia el cerro; unos trescientos metros después termina la subida.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Al llegar a la parte alta el sendero se desdibuja un poco: se debe continuar por el borde derecho de la planicie y resulta fácil volver a encontrarlo. El siguiente tramo comienza casi plano, pero pronto va comenzando un suave descenso en diagonal, volviendo a acercarse al curso de la Vacas Muertas. Se va dejando la vegetación arbustiva y se vuelve a ingresar al bosque donde hay algunos tramos confusos, pero la dirección es obvia y pronto reaparece la senda.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unos ochocientos metros después de culminar el ascenso se llega nuevamente el curso de agua y se cruza. El vado a comienzo de otoño fue muy fácil, prácticamente un solo paso; posiblemente en otras épocas sea un poco diferente pero no debería ser muy difícil. Al otro lado debe buscarse el sendero unos metros arriba de la orilla, donde reaparece con un trazado más o menos claro, lo suficiente para seguirlo sin descuidarse.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unos doscientos metros más adelante del cruce de la quebrada se pasa el cauce de otro afluente, seco en la temporada que fue llevada a cabo esta caminata, pero posiblemente con agua en primavera o comienzo de verano. De cualquier manera es un cruce sencillo, después del cual la senda vuelve a salir del bosque a terreno pedregoso, pudiendo observarse los inmensos cerros que flanquean la Vacas Muertas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tras otros doscientos metros, el sendero ingresa a un pequeño parche de bosque que se encontró muy cerrado por vegetación espinosa: se prefirió rodearlo por la parte superior, un tramo con grandes piedras de acarreo, no muy complicado para cruzar. Son un poco más de cien metros después de los cuales, al terminar el bosque, se buscó nuevamente la senda pero no se encontró; se continuó entonces siguiendo por la orilla de la quebrada sin senda definida pero sin ningún obstáculo.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Antes de doscientos metros comienza a observarse al otro costado, un afluente que desciende formando una sucesión de cascadas. Hay que volver a cruzar la Vacas Muertas cerca a la desembocadura de este afluente, o poco después de ella, para comenzar a ascender por el costado norte del arroyo de las cascadas. El cruce nuevamente fue en extremo sencillo, sin mojarse los pies, pero seguramente en épocas de mayor caudal sea necesario ingresar al agua.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A esta altura la senda casi ha desaparecido, pero debe subirse en dirección a los dos únicos árboles que se observan en la ladera. El terreno es pedregoso y con poca vegetación, de modo que el ascenso no es difícil aunque si un poco empinado. &lt;br /&gt;
Unos metros arriba de los árboles se vuelve a encontrar el sendero, en un punto muy oportuno: un claro surco bien demarcado sirve para cruzar una inclinada ladera de acarreo, bastante resbalosa. Son solo unos cien metros, hasta que se llega a una hondonada por dónde baja un pequeño arroyito: allí desaparece por completo la senda.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Son menos de cincuenta metros, pero este es el tramo más complejo de la ruta: no se encontró ningún rastro de senda, mientras la pendiente es fuerte y el terreno resbaloso. Se bajó unos pocos metros para acercarse al pequeño cauce tratando de afirmarse con la escasa vegetación existente, y la subida al otro lado se realizó casi en cuatro patas, sujetándose de arbustos o hierbas. Un poco después un par de pequeños robles sirvieron para dar más firmeza al ascenso.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tras sobrepasar el trayecto crítico se reencontró un esbozo de senda que continúa subiendo por terreno pedregoso, todavía un poco inestable pero con menor inclinación. Es un sendero muy tenue y fácil de perder, pero lo importante es tratar de acercarse a la quebrada de las cascadas, buscando el terreno más apropiado para ello. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aproximadamente en trescientos metros, se llega a una zona relativamente plana, donde ya es posible acceder hasta el curso de agua. Poco antes de llegar al cauce hay a la derecha una gran roca lisa, sobre ella, en el extremo opuesto a la quebrada, se deben buscar los petroglifos distribuidos en varios puntos de su superficie: varias figuras entre las que destacan varias manos, pies y círculos dibujados.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Después de visitar los petroglifos es posible acercarse a las cascadas más cercanas: casi de inmediato se encuentra una de ellas, hasta cuyo pozón es posible descender. Subiendo menos de doscientos metros se sobrepasa un salto más pequeño, arriba del cual se cruzó el cauce: un solo paso largo en otoño, seguramente en otra época sea necesario ingresar al agua. Ascendiendo cerca de cien metros por la orilla opuesta, se llega a la última cascada, (la superior), con un agradable pozo para refrescarse antes de emprender el retorno.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tiempo Esperado===&lt;br /&gt;
Aunque es posible hacerlo en dos días, se recomienda llevarlo a cabo en tres jornadas debido a la dificultad de la aproximacion, del terreno, y para poder disfrutar las cascadas y pozones.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Primera jornada desde El Puente El Látigo al Refugio Casalata, aproximadamente  unas cuatro horas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Segunda jornada a los petroglifos y regreso al refugio Casalata, unas cuatro horas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Tercera jornada regreso del Refugio Casalata al Puente El Látigo, unas tres horas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Para realizarlo en dos jornadas se recomienda acampar en el vado intermedio de la Quebrada Vacas Muertas&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{Sin permisos}}&lt;br /&gt;

==Recomendaciones==&lt;br /&gt;
{{checklist|Checklist de equipo tipo 9: mediamontaña no técnica, sin caminata sobre hielo, sin o poca nieve, con acampe}}&lt;br /&gt;
* Aunque la mayor parte del recorrido es un sendero fácil de reconocer, el último tramo es complejo y encontrar entre tantas rocas los petroglifos es complicado, por tanto se recomienda el uso de GPS.&lt;br /&gt;
* Tener en cuenta que existen varios tramos ligeramente expuestos, tomar las precauciones&lt;br /&gt;

==Descripción General de la ruta==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Espolonverdegeneral.jpg|thumb|Vista desde la parte baja del valle.]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Aprox-espolon.jpg|thumb|Aproximación por la derecha de gran morrena con forma de aleta.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Los Espolones del Brujo son todas las columnas graníticas en las faldas de la ladera este de la Sierra del Brujo. Se caracterizan por presentar verticales y esculpidas formaciones de roca intrusiva. Rodeando estas espectaculares agujas de roca hay enormes e inestables glaciares colgantes, por lo que las aproximaciones pueden ser bastante peligrosas en ciertas épocas del año. El aspecto monolítico y la gran presencia de glaciares nos hacen recordar paisajes patagónicos, sin embargo, a estas latitudes el clima es mucho más estable y permite más horas de escalada.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A pesar de que la roca es muy buena y las fisuras bien definidas, existen grandes peligros de caída de piedras por lo que se recomienda extrema precaución sobre todo en terrenos inexplorados. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Al parecer los primeros ascensionistas de esta aguja o &amp;quot;espolón sin nombre&amp;quot; fue por parte de un equipo italiano conformado por Giovanni Ongaro, Simone Pedeferri (El Tremendo 200 mt. 5.12b) Lorenzo “Pala” Lanfranchi y Angelo Forcignano (La Iguana 200 m. 5.12a), en el año 2005. Abrieron dos rutas en paralelo por esta magnífica cara suroeste.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Además de estas dos rutas graficadas existen otras 2 rutas más que se pueden apreciar a simple vista por la misma cara suroeste. El Pilar Verde va por el pilar más hacia el este de la pared y conecta fisuras con algo de musgo que le dieron  el nombre a la ruta. Sin embargo se deja proteger bien y se pusieron chapas en una sección para direccionar la cuerda y no botar piedras empotradas en el gran diedro. Y donde la fisura se pone ciega se instalaron dos chapas más.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Época adecuada==&lt;br /&gt;
Desde Octubre hasta Mayo las condiciones pueden ser bastante buenas para ir. En invierno puro a estas rutas no les llega el sol.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{Acceso Universidad}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Permisos==&lt;br /&gt;
*Es necesario pedir permiso a info@glaciaresdecolchagua.cl &lt;br /&gt;
*No se permite más de un grupo al mismo tiempo&lt;br /&gt;
*Se debe llenar un formulario extenso que será enviado&lt;br /&gt;
*Se debe pasar a avisar al ingresar y al retirarse a la Central Hidroeléctrica San Andrés, de Hydro Chile&lt;br /&gt;
*Se exige llevar de regreso no solo la basura, sino también los excrementos&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Descripción de la ruta==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ATENCIÓN: La escalada en este lugar es delicada y con mucho bloque suelto, además , la información aquí explicada es solo referencial y no asegura nada, ya que las condiciones de la montaña son muy cambiantes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Aproximación===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Desde la represa debes salir bordeando el río San José por el oeste, se sigue un claro sendero que luego de atravesar un par de vallecitos dobla a la izquierda en dirección a las evidentes agujas, unos 15 minutos de subida y se llega a u gran boulder que sirve de vivak para 2 o 3, que está rodeado por varios cursos de agua y grandes bloques. Desde esta zona apta para acampar se gira hacia el este para avanzar paralelo al río San José hasta cruzar una gran morrena con forma de aleta, la pared está a la derecha de esta aleta justo al final, la caminata es más sencilla por el valle que se forma entre la morrena y las paredes de la derecha.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Fisura evidente de palma pero con harto musgo, luego avanzas hasta casi el final de la cuerda donde se puede hacer reunión en un gran cacho de roca.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Pilar verde l3.jpg|frame|center|En el largo 3 sigue evidente fisura perfecta con musgos, a la derecha del filo.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Largo 4: 30 m. 5.10+ A0 '''&lt;br /&gt;
Partes por diedro a la derecha, luego doblas a la izq. hacia las chapas chapas en fisuras ciegas, reunión con micros en terraza.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Pilar verde l4.jpg|frame|center|Parte por diedro ancho evidente y luego pasas a la izquierda por chapas, el largo 5 se ve en evidente diedro a la izquierda de la imagen.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Largo 5: 60 m. 5.10+ '''&lt;br /&gt;
Entras por mini desplome hasta evidente diedro de dedos anchos que continúa hasta el  final en offwidth (#5). Saliendo de ahí, llegas a un anclaje de dos chapas de ruta paralela. Conviene alargar la estación para que no roce en piedras sueltas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A la cumbre desde las chapas, se debe atravesar una torre de grandes rocas sueltas que pareciera que se caen de solo mirarlas. Ir con mucho cuidado, regreso desescalando.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Cumbrepilarverde.jpg|frame|center|La bajada desde la cumbre es bien delicada.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Descenso===&lt;br /&gt;
La ruta solo tiene reuniones móviles, por lo que para rapelear habría que abandonar material, si se llega hasta arriba la bajada es por chapas en buen estado de ruta paralela de nombre desconocido. Son 4 o 5 rapeles con dos cuerdas de 60 m.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Tiempo esperado==&lt;br /&gt;
Desde la represa San Andrés hasta el pie de vía son aproximadamente unas 2 horas. La ruta debiera tomar unas 4 o 5 horas máximo y rapelear la mitad, en total unas 12 horas podrían ser para una cordada rápida auto-cubre-auto. Desde el campamento base en los boulders te ahorras unos 20 a 30 minutos de caminata.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Equipo==&lt;br /&gt;
* Equipo básico de escalada de multilargos: Arnés, zapatillas de escalada, sistema de aseguramiento tipo reverso, atc guide o similar, 2 reuniones con sus mosquetones con seguro.&lt;br /&gt;
* Dos cuerdas de 60 metros.&lt;br /&gt;
* Protección: Doble juego de friends completo desde el 0 hasta el #2 y un #3 y 4 (tallas camalot BD), más un juego de stoppers.&lt;br /&gt;
* Unas 15 cintas, entre largas y express.&lt;br /&gt;
* Algunos metros de cordín para montar y reforzar reuniones en caso de ser necesario.&lt;br /&gt;
* Equipo básico personal (casco, factor solar, lentes, linterna con pilas de recambio, cuchillo, cinta para dedos, botiquín).&lt;br /&gt;
* Hidratación y comida.&lt;br /&gt;
* Comunicación: Zona de total aislación, se recomienda teléfono satelital o dispositivo Inreach. Una radio puede ser útil. Ojo. Hay internet en la represa.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Recomendaciones==&lt;br /&gt;
* Avisar con anticipación a glaciares de Colchagua para asegurar la visita.&lt;br /&gt;

==Importante==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:RefugioOleasBerge.JPG|thumb|Refugio Oleas Berge, punto de inicio del ascenso.]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:VistaSurCayambe.JPG|thumb|Vista a los volcanes Cotopaxi (derecha) y Chimborazo.]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:GrietasCayambe.JPG|thumb|Grandes grietas abundan en la zona alta del ascenso.]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:CumbreCayambe.JPG|thumb|A pasos de alcanzar la cumbre.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Desde el año 2012 en Ecuador es obligatorio el ascenso de algunos cerros en compañía de un guía. Estos cerros corresponderían a aquellos cuya cumbre se encuentra por sobre los 5.000 msnm. La única forma de evitar esta restricción sería acreditando en el Ministerio de Ambiente del Ecuador (MAE) que se tiene suficiente experiencia de montaña (Verificar con ellos los requisitos específicos). Ellos emitirán un certificado que autorizará el ingreso sin guías al parque. &lt;br /&gt;
La información presentada en este párrafo se obtuvo a partir del testimonio de guías y trabajadores de parques nacionales (los mismos que fiscalizan el cumplimiento de la norma), pero no de una fuente oficial, por lo que se agradece más información al respecto.&lt;br /&gt;
Se puede probar suerte sin hacer el respectivo trámite y en vez acreditando la experiencia en el mismo parque (ejemplo con los carnet de federados), pero obviamente no asegurará el ingreso.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Los cerros más importantes ([[Cotopaxi]] y [[Chimborazo]]) cuentan con una fiscalización más intensa que los otros, como Cayambe, Illiniza o Antisana.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Descripción General==&lt;br /&gt;
El Cayambe, un hermoso volcán cubierto por grandes glaciares, posee una particularidad muy llamativa y es que la línea del Ecuador corta una de sus laderas. Su ascenso puede resultar intimidante debido a la espectacular cantidad de grietas que inundan su cono somital.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Época adecuada==&lt;br /&gt;
La época óptima es en diciembre. También es seco el periodo que va de junio a septiembre, aunque se trata de una época más ventosa. Las temporadas de lluvias van de enero a mayo y de octubre a noviembre.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Acceso==&lt;br /&gt;
===En vehículo propio===&lt;br /&gt;
Una vez en el pueblo de Cayambe se debe tomar rumbo al Parque Nacional Cayambe-Coca, para lo cual es posible encontrar algo de señalización, pero muy escasa. En términos generales, se debe tomar la ruta que sale del pueblo en dirección noreste. Esta ruta es transitable por vehículos normales hasta 1,5km antes del refugio, donde se encuentra una amplia meseta donde se puede dejar el auto, aunque los últimos 500m hasta ese lugar pueden presentar dificultades. Los restantes 1,5km solamente pueden ser recorridos con un vehículo alto y 4x4, pero caminarlos no presenta ningún problema (son unos 200m de desnivel hasta el refugio). Buena parte del camino desde el pueblo hasta el refugio es estrecho y/o de mala calidad, por lo que el viaje es lento. Hay que considerar que en ciertas épocas del año el camino puede ser intransitable, aunque es probable que sea la misma época en que no se recomienda intentar el ascenso.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===En transporte público y autostop===&lt;br /&gt;
No existe transporte público que llegue hasta el punto de inicio del ascenso. Lo mejor será llegar hasta el pueblo de Cayambe y ahí optar por hacer autostop en el camino que va rumbo al Parque Nacional o tomar un bus rural que vaya en esa dirección y hacer el autostop más cerca del parque. En cualquier caso sería necesario hacer autostop, el cual no es descabellado ya que regularmente van grupos con turistas.&lt;br /&gt;
Sí existe la opción de contratar algún tipo de transporte privado, para lo cual será necesario preguntar a los lugareños.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Descripción de la ruta==&lt;br /&gt;
La totalidad del ascenso transcurre por la cara sur-este del volcán, lo cual da la posibilidad de tener vistas espectaulares a los otros grandes volcanes de Ecuador, el [[Cotopaxi]], Antisana e incluso al [[Chimborazo]]. La ruta comienza en el refugio Ruales Oleas Bergé (4.620 msnm), que se ubica en una zona relativamente plana, e inicia un rápido ascenso por una ladera empinada donde se mezclan rocas con arena. En este sector existen huellas claras, varios caminos que se separan y se vuelven a unir, e incluso algunas señalizaciones. Esto último se debe a que este sector también es frecuentado por amantes del senderismo que ascienden esta primera parte del cerro para visitar una pequeña laguna que se encuentra más arriba o simplemente para tener una mejor vista del volcán.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Luego de ascender unos 250m de desnivel se deja la tierra y la ruta se monta sobre el hielo. En este punto ya es recomendable encordarse, pues las grietas aparecen desde un inicio (por ahora pequeñas y creciendo en la medida que se asciende). En esta primera parte sobre el hielo la ruta sigue subiendo en la misma dirección que se venía hasta alcanzar una zona con menor pendiente alrededor de los 5.100 msnm. En esta parte se debe girar hacia el este (hacia la derecha cuando se va subiendo) sin atravesar esta zona más plana y continuar subiendo por la ladera. Luego de bordear un pequeño promontorio se llega a un hombro donde ya se aprecia la cumbre y hay una vista clara a lo que resta de ascenso.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Desde este punto el juego se trata de llevar la dirección más clara hacia la cumbre esquivando las grandes grietas que en esta zona existen. El último tramo hasta alcanzar la cumbre es una pequeña ladera con gran pendiente que tras remontarla permite acceder al filo cumbrero, quedando una corta caminata hasta el punto más alto. &lt;br /&gt;
===Tiempo Esperado===&lt;br /&gt;
Desde el refugio a la cumbre debería estimarse algo entre 6 y 7hrs. El descenso se completa en unas 3 o 4hrs.&lt;br /&gt;
==Permisos / Tarifas==&lt;br /&gt;
Al igual que todos los grandes volcanes de Ecuador, el Cayambe sólo se puede ascender de dos formas:&lt;br /&gt;
*Contratando un guía&lt;br /&gt;
*Autorización de ingreso emitida por el Ministerio de Ambiente del Ecuador (MAE) &lt;br /&gt;
Si bien el volcán se encuentra dentro de un área protegida (Parque Nacional Cayambe-Coca), no se cobra para ingresar.&lt;br /&gt;

==Recomendaciones==&lt;br /&gt;
{{checklist|Checklist de equipo tipo 7: alta montaña, ruta no técnica pero con caminata sobre hielo}}&lt;br /&gt;
* Si no se va con guías, se recomienda llegar a la zona de hielo cuando ya haya luz natural, fundamental para poder tomar decisiones correctas en una ruta llena de grietas. Tampoco salir muy tarde ya que se atravesarán puentes de nieve que deben estar firmes en la bajada.&lt;br /&gt;
* El refugio ofrece alojamiento, cena con abundante té, y desayuno por 25 dólares. Vale la pena.&lt;br /&gt;
* En caso de requerir (o querer) un guía de montaña es buena idea recurrir a la Asociación Ecuatoriana de Guías de Montaña (ASEGUIM) en este [https://aseguim.org/miembros/ link]. Ahí se encuentra un listado de guías y datos de contacto. Se recomienda dar prioridad a los de ciudads cercanas al cerro, ya que en teoría cobrarían un precio menor por un tema de transporte.&lt;br /&gt;

[[Archivo:Cerro Punta Negra (1).JPG|thumb|Bordeando el embalse por su ribera Oeste, marzo de 2012]]&lt;br /&gt;
==Descripción General==&lt;br /&gt;
Al norte del embalse El Yeso se eleva el vistoso Cordón de los Picos Negros. De norte a sur, se distinguen cuatro cumbres: Aguja Helada (4.655 metros), Pico Negro (4.430 metros), Punta Andino (4.240 metros) y [[Punta Negra]] (4.127 mts.).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Época adecuada==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Climograma_San_Jose_de_Maipo.png|thumb|left|Climograma del pueblo de San José de Maipo, cercano a esta ruta]]&lt;br /&gt;
Ruta no recomendable a fines de verano y en otoño, cuando la canaleta se presenta con hielo cristal, y es barrida, por caídas de piedras. La época ideal es la primavera y con frío. Es necesario iniciar el ascenso de noche, para así bajar antes del medio día.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dado que la alternativa del bus sólo permite llegar hasta Romeral (en camino a Baños Morales), desde este punto se debe intentar el autostop. El camino no es de alto tráfico, por lo que es probable que la espera sea larga un fin de semana, y bastante larga un día de semana.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Descripción de la ruta==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Perfil pico negro.png|thumb|center|750px|Perfil de ascenso del Cerro Pico Negro, Imagen: Víctor Zavala]] &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
El sendero parte desde el muro de contención (2580m) circundando el embalse por el norte a partir de su margen occidental, y luego de unas tres horas, entrando por el Cajón del Estero de los Picos Negros se arriba al campo base del cerro Punta Negra, aledaño a la morrenas y acarreos de la base del Canaleta Sur, donde a 2.670 metros de altitud hay una lagunita y una pequeña meseta. Una vez alcanzado este punto, se debe seguir siempre en dirección Norte, tratando de caminar a lo largo del valle y evitando las grandes pendientes que son innecesarias de tomar. Luego de 2 horas aprox. y 11km desde el comienzo de la ruta, se alcanza el campamento base del Pico Negro (3464msnm) con una agradable planicie y resguardo de la caída de material así como el viento.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Desde el CB, internarse hacia el nor-este por el estero de los Picos Negros, en dirección al glaciar del Rincón Negro. Luego de 1km se deberá afrontar la primera canaleta de 400m con una pendiente media de 40° en donde escoger la canaleta correcta puede ser algo confuso, tomar la de más a la derecha. Una vez superada dicha canaleta, se debe dar un leve giro a la derecha para superar un traverse de baja dificultad pero exposición considerable. Posterior a esto, continuar en dirección norte para enfrentar la segunda canaleta, mucho más corta (200m aprox.) pero con pendientes que pueden llegar hasta los 50-60° en el tramo final con presencia de hielo según las condiciones. Finalizada la segunda canaleta hay un pequeño plano, sitio ideal para descansar y recuperar fuerzas para el tramo final. Desde este punto y unos metros más adelante se deberá tomar la decisión si continuar lo más a la derecha por un trepe de roca de 150m que no requiere aseguramiento, o bien, seguir un canalón que va por el medio de la ruta. Independiente de la decisión tomada, se podrá llegar a la cumbre y apreciar la gran vista que tiene a los distintos cerros del sector.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Cerca Seccional Puerto Canoa-Inicio subida cara sur V Lanin.jpg|thumb|Cerca seccional Puerto Canoa, inicio subida cara sur volcán Lanín. Imagen: Estefanía Chereguini y Walter Oszust.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Partiendo del Centro de informes se pasa por delante de la casa del Guardaparque y se gira con dirección al [[Volcán Lanín]]. Se cruza una extensa pampa de radales y cipreses cruzada por pequeños cursos de agua. Siempre con la silueta del volcán Lanín por delante se camina durante una hora aproximadamente hasta cruzar un arroyo por un puente rústico. Aquí comienza un bosque de árboles de alto porte, se trata de coihues del género ''nothofagus''.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Cara sur V Lanin-Secc Pto Canoa-imagen 1.jpg|thumb|Cara sur volcán Lanin. Imagen: Estefanía Chereguini y Walter Oszust.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
El sendero va tendiendo a la derecha hacia el cauce del arroyo Rucu Leufú, es una zona de suelo pedregoso, donde aparecen los primeros ejemplares de Pehuen. En un momento se cruza un pequeño brazo del arroyo a la derecha, se continúa por la senda y se vuelve a cruzarlo a la izquierda para ya encarar la subida por los caracoles que transcurren en un bosque alto de coihues y lengas. &lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Cara sur V Lanin-Secc Pto Canoa-imagen 2-Wikiexplora.jpg|thumb|Cara sur volcán Lanín. Imagen: Estefanía Chereguini y Walter Oszust.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
La senda sube considerablemente hasta alcanzar las lengas achaparradas, cruzando a través de las mismas nos encontramos con los mallines de altura donde se puede divisar una cascada al final de los mismos. Cruzando&lt;br /&gt;
el arroyo se encuentra el final de la etapa. La vista desde aquí es magnífica, una punta glaciaria sobre la pared sur nos muestra la ruta de ascenso denominada Colada Mazoldi, en honor al primer escalador en realizarla. Luego del descanso en el área se emprende el retorno por la misma vía de ascenso.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
{{Acceso hasta Banos Colina}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Descripción de la ruta==&lt;br /&gt;
Desde el estacionamiento de Baños Colina, a 2450msnm, se debe seguir el camino de autos que se interna por el valle, a lo largo de la ribera este del río Colina. Después de caminar 700m por un camino bastante plano, se llega al final del camino que se puede transitar en vehículo, lugar marcado por un espacio amplio que perfectamente puede ser utilizado como estacionamiento. En su extremo sur, lugar que se alcanza si se continúa caminando en la misma dirección, se llega a un sendero que baja rápidamente hasta un pequeño estero que fácilmente puede ser atravesado. Se debe continuar caminando unos 500m por la ladera este hasta un viejo puente vehicular que permite cruzar el río Colina hacia su ribera oeste. Luego se debe continuar 1,4km por este camino vehicular en desuso, que rápidamente se transforma en una huella cuando el valle es más angosto, hasta toparse con la quebrada que lleva al estero de los Caballos. Una vez cruzado el estero, se llega a una vega que con frecuencia está poblada de animales. En este punto ya se está a los pies del Cerro Puntiagudo y es posible comenzar a subir por su ladera, pero será más fácil continuar unos 350m por el mismo camino por el que se venía hasta encontrar, justo al finalizar la vega, el inicio de un antiguo camino vehicular de una prospección minera que asciende el cerro en forma de zig zag. En este punto se está a unos 2.620msnm.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Se debe comenzar a ascender la ladera por este camino, el cual cuenta con numerosos atajos que lo hacen algo más corto. La huella vehicular alcanza a recorrer unos 800m hasta desaparecer en el cerro. Continúa un sendero, pero que al poco andar es difícil de distinguir. Una vez que se pierde, lo único que queda por hacer es seguir ascendiendo la ladera &amp;quot;hacia arriba&amp;quot;, sin que sea necesario desviarse hacia alguno de los lados. A los 2.960msnm se llega a la primera zona de campamento, que es el primer lugar plano y amplio desde que se inicia el ascenso. Desde el auto hasta este lugar podría tomar 2 horas. Desde esta planicie lo mejor es cargarse hacia el lado derecho y lentamente ir ascendiendo por la ladera que da hacia la quebrada del estero de los Caballos. A poco andar, a una altura de 3.080msnm, se encuentra una nueva planicie que es más amplia que la anterior y que presenta mejores condiciones para acampar ya que a poca distancia se encuentra agua en el estero de los Caballos (que en abril de 2015 nacía a 3.100msnm). Desde la zona de esta planicie se debe continuar por el ascenso por una especie de filo que bordea con la quebrada y que conduce directamente hacia el fin de un largo farellón de roca a 3.230msnm. Menos de 5 minutos después del farellón se llega sorpresivamente a un viejo camino vehicular que se debe se cruza para seguir en la misma dirección de ascenso que antes. De esta forma se llega al último lugar de campamento, otra amplia planicie a 3.270msnm. Desde acá es posible apreciar una parte importante de la ruta que se debe seguir y que va por la pedregosa ladera suroeste del cerro Puntiagudo. De hecho es fácil distinguir un sendero que está bien marcado y que asciende progresivamente por esta ladera hasta conectar con el filo, que visto desde esta perspectiva, corta contra el cielo. Si bien gran parte de este sendero es muy fácil de transitar ya que el suelo pedregoso es bastante firme, la última parte antes de conectar con el filo es bien suelta y con mayor pendiente, siendo la parte más agotadora de todo el ascenso. Una vez en el filo, a 3.820msnm, se tiene una gran vista en todas direcciones, dstacando los gendarmes de roca hacia el sur y la incomparable vista hacia el valle de Colina y las hermosas montañas del sector como los cerros El Morado, Mesón Alto, Cortaderas, Punta Italia y Loma Larga, entre otros.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
En este filo comienza en una nueva etapa en el ascenso ya que acá se produce la transición entre el sector pedregoso, por donde se venía, y el sector rocoso, hacia donde uno se dirige. De inmediato se encuentra el primer escollo, que corresponde a una placa de roca con una gran fisura vertical que permite que el ascenso, al igual que el descenso, sea bastante sencillo. El desnivel a superar son 20m. La única precaución, sobre todo si sube más de uno a la vez, es la posible caída de material. Superado este sector ya se puede ver, algo más arriba, el segundo escollo. Éste corresponde a una nueva placa de roca a la que se llega por una huella muy clara y cuya superficie es suficientemente firme para caminar sin problemas. Esta segunda placa puede ser superada de distintas maneras, ya sea subiendo por su extremo izquierdo, donde la placa se mezcla con tierra y piedras en una especie de acarreo, un gateo directo por la placa (tiene muy buena adherencia, al menos estando seca) o tomando una fisura horizontal en la parte baja que lleva hacia la derecha y luego sube por sectores rocosos y con acarreo (ojo que al final de la fisura horizontal hay un paso algo expuesto).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Una vez superada la segunda placa se alcanza lo que podría ser el inicio del filo cumbrero, aunque no muy filudo aún. En este punto, donde se puede descansar del reciente esfuerzo, sólo faltan 100m de desnivel por superar. Además se tiene por primera vez vista hacia el este, donde destacan los cerros Manchado y Castillo. El camino vuelve a estar marcado por un sendero que sigue la ruta lógica hacia la cumbre, que desde acá ya es visible. Por último, estando unos 50m por debajo de la cumbre, se debe decidir si montarse al filo rocoso (que puede parecer algo intimidante) o continuar justo por debajo de este, por la ladera sur. Cualquiera de las dos opciones los dejará en pocos minutos en la pequeña y aérea cumbre del cerro, con una espectacular vista hacia todos lados, siendo la más destacada la de la cara sur del volcán San José. Desde el primer campamento se deberían considerar unas 5 horas hasta la cumbre. El descenso se hace por el mismo camino.&lt;br /&gt;
===Tiempo esperado===&lt;br /&gt;
El tiempo total desde Baños Colina hasta la cumbre son alrededor de 7 horas.&lt;br /&gt;

==Época adecuada==&lt;br /&gt;
El fundo está abierto en la medida que el camino no se encuentre nevado. Esto debiese suceder entre los meses de novimebre y abril/mayo.&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Trekking''': Ideal desde noviembre a abril. Habrá nieve todo el año, pero sólo a partir de aproximadamente noviembre será una cantidad &amp;quot;manejable&amp;quot; para el trekking sin [[Glosario#R|raquetas]].&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Randonnée''': Mayo a octubre. Ideal en agosto y septiembre, cuando no es necesario cargar los esquíes en la espalda.&lt;br /&gt;

==Descripción General==&lt;br /&gt;
Una ruta cuyo recorrido sigue el transcurso de la antigua vía vehicular que comunicaba Bariloche con El Bolsón. La senda por tanto es bastante amplia y clara, sin ningún obstáculo, lo que la hace perfectamente transitable para Mountain Bike. Es un trayecto corto, casi totalmente plano, y en su mayor parte bajo bosque nativo. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Casi todo el tiempo se avanza a orillas del Lago Guillelmo, con excelentes panorámicas de los cerros vecinos, pudiendo incluso divisarse el Tronador, la montaña mas alta de la zona. A pesar de ser un sendero oficial del Parque Nacional Nahuel Huapi, son pocas las señales y carteles informativos, pero tampoco son muy necesarios si la ruta se lleva a cabo de Norte a Sur.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Época adecuada==&lt;br /&gt;
Se puede realizar en cualquier época. En primavera posiblemente algunos tramos a la orilla del lago estarán inundados.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Acceso==&lt;br /&gt;
===En vehículo propio===&lt;br /&gt;
Desde Bariloche se toma rumbo sur la ruta Nacional 40, pavimento en buen estado. Se avanzan cerca de 28 kilómetros. Cuando la vía se aleja del Lago Mascardi, unos 4 kilómetros después de pasar la estación de combustible de ACA, hay una parada de bus y un ingreso a mano izquierda señalizado como Villa Mascardi. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Debe tomarse por este desvío, ripio en buen estado, por el cual en aproximadamente doscientos metros se llega al Destacamento de Gendarmería y a una bifurcación: hay que seguir nuevamente el ramal izquierdo, que en 1.7 kilómetros llega a otra bifurcación. Siguiendo de nuevo a la izquierda, unos metros después termina la vía justo en el cartel de inicio de la ruta.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===En transporte público y autostop===&lt;br /&gt;
Desde la terminal de Bariloche se puede tomar bus rumbo Villa Mascardi, o bien cualquiera de los que van hacia El Bolsón. Descender en la parada nombrada, (Villa Mascardi) y seguir las indicaciones dadas en el ítem anterior&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Descripción de la ruta==&lt;br /&gt;
Inmediatamente después del cartel, se cruza un puente y se inicia la caminata con un suave descenso. La senda es lo suficientemente amplia como para permitir el paso de un vehículo, y está rodeada de pequeños árboles que enmarcan su trazado. Al cabo de un kilómetro de bajada se encuentra señalizado a la derecha el desvío hacia Bahía Mansa: un sendero bien definido que llega a la playa del lago en unos doscientos metros aproximadamente. El desvío se divide al acercarse al agua, teniendo acceso a dos sitios distintos de playa.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Si se visita Bahía Mansa después es necesario regresar por el mismo recorrido, para volver a tomar la senda principal. Doscientos metros más adelante de la bifurcación a Bahía Mansa el sendero se acerca al lago, terminando el descenso y comenzando un agradable tramo bajo grandes bosques. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
De esta manera se avanza más de un kilómetro, hasta que se sale de los árboles y se llega a un punto donde la senda va casi totalmente por la orilla del Guillelmo, encerrada entre el cerro y el lago. Se pueden observar frecuentemente los muros contrafuertes que protegían la antigua vía vehicular, y aparece en retrospectiva, la visión de la cumbre del Cerro Tronador. En algunas partes ya el lago invade lo que fue la vieja carretera.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Acercándose a los cuatro kilómetros de recorrido, (sin contar el desvío a Bahía Mansa), se llega a una península donde la senda se aleja del lago. Viene casi medio kilómetro con un leve ascenso casi imperceptible, para luego cruzar un firme puente sobre un arroyo. A continuación se inicia un descenso tan leve como la subida y poco después de otro medio kilómetro se regresa a la orilla del Guillelmo.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vuelve a iniciarse un trayecto donde el sendero va totalmente al lado del agua, nuevamente entre el cerro y el lago. Se avanza por esta parte casi dos kilómetros, hasta que se ingresa otra vez a un bosque y la senda se aparta totalmente del Guillelmo, iniciando un suave ascenso. Tras trescientos metros de subida muy leve, se va saliendo del bosque y comenzando un insignificante descenso que termina medio kilómetro después, a la orilla de un río. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vadeando el río concluye la ruta, el vado es muy fácil pues el cauce no es nada profundo, pero si bastante ancho, de modo que es inevitable mojarse los pies. En la orilla opuesta se encuentra ya una vía con acceso para todo tipo de vehículo; si no se tiene quien vaya a buscarlo deberá caminar poco menos de un kilómetro hasta salir a la ruta 40, dónde se puede tomar cualquier bus de los que circulan entre El Bolsón y Bariloche&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tiempo Esperado===&lt;br /&gt;
El recorrido completo lleva aproximadamente unas dos a tres horas caminando&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Permisos / Tarifas==&lt;br /&gt;
La senda pertenece al Parque Nacional Nahuel Huapi, pero en este sector no se &lt;br /&gt;
cobra acceso. Sin embargo, al menos en teoría, es obligatorio registrarse en el &lt;br /&gt;
Registro on line de Trekking del Parque, aunque no existe Control de ingreso. &lt;br /&gt;
Como es un trámite sencillo y gratuito es mejor hacerlo para el caso de &lt;br /&gt;
encontrar algún guardaparque en el recorrido&lt;br /&gt;

[[Archivo:Laguna Taitachugo por Quebrada Burín.png|miniaturadeimagen|Perfil de la caminata a Laguna Taitachugo por Quebrada Burín]]&lt;br /&gt;
==Descripción General==&lt;br /&gt;
Una ruta diferente de acceso a la tercera laguna más grande del Parque Nacional Cajas y una de las más emblemáticas y visitadas. El recorrido en sí es bastante corto, aunque con un alto desnivel para tan poca distancia. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Se asciende a un filo con una magnífica panorámica desde donde incluso se divisa Osohuayco, la segunda laguna en tamaño dentro del Parque. Luego se desciende entre lagunas menores hasta el valle de la Quebrada Burin que baja en medio de hermosas caídas de agua hasta llegar a Taitachugo.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
El sendero es bastante claro en el tramo inicial y el final, con un tramo confuso en el descenso al valle, pero sin mayores obstáculos. Hay buenas posibilidades de avistamiento de fauna.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Época adecuada==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Acceso==&lt;br /&gt;
===En vehículo propio===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===En transporte público y autostop===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Descripción de la ruta==&lt;br /&gt;
El tramo inicial el sendero está un poco desdibujado en medio de zonas pantanosas: hay que ascender por el lado izquierdo de algunos árboles, buscando el terreno más cómodo y siguiendo un esbozo de senda no muy demarcado. Tras unos doscientos metros se pasa cerca de una cabaña abandonada y poco más adelante, a mano derecha, después de un bastón de señalización, se comienza a distinguir más claramente la ruta de ascenso.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A partir de ese instante la senda es bastante clara, con tramos pedregosos y otros de pastizales, en un ascenso continuo durante aproximadamente un kilómetro desde la vía. Transcurrida esta distancia viene un descenso muy breve: justo en ese punto se debe buscar a mano izquierda una pequeña senda que desciende a un verde valle en ese costado.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
En unos cuantos pasos se llega al pequeño valle por el cual se debe reanudar el ascenso. Hay un esbozo de senda hacia el costado izquierdo por la cual se puede subir. Antes de doscientos metros de haber dejado la ruta principal, se llega a un plano, con un par de árboles pequeños al costado derecho: allí se debe girar a la derecha y buscar un sendero que asciende hacia el cercano portezuelo en el filo del cerro, (ver foto).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
En poco más de cien metros se llega al mencionado portezuelo: la vista es magnífica, y puede mejorarse trepando a una roca que se encuentra pocos metros al costado derecho. En el valle se pueden observar varias lagunas pequeñas; casi en frente, ligeramente a la derecha se divisa la gran Osohuayco, (la segunda más grande del parque); y al final, en el rincón izquierdo, aparece una punta de la Laguna Taitachugo.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
El sendero prosigue bastante claro ahora en un abrupto descenso entre pajonales que van abriéndose rápidamente a zonas pantanosas. Antes de doscientos metros de bajada se terminan los pastos y la senda se desdibuja: se debe continuar descendiendo por el valle, sin sendero pero sin mayores obstáculos.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hay que buscar llegar a un pequeño conjunto de árboles que se divisa desde arriba, (el portezuelo ), ligeramente a la izquierda; aunque a medida que se baja va desapareciendo del ángulo visual. Si se sigue bajando directamente por la hondonada donde se inició el descenso, antes de medio kilómetro se comienza a observar a mano derecha el desagüe de la Laguna La Herradura: poco después de que este extremo de lago desaparece del campo visual, se debe doblar a mano izquierda.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hay una senda bastante demarcada que sigue hacia ese costado. Viene un ascenso de unos pocos metros y aparecen a la vista el conjunto de arbolitos hacia el cual se debe caminar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pasando los árboles una senda prosigue a mano izquierda faldeando el cerro en descenso. Se pasa varios metros arriba de una pequeña laguna, avanzando hacia el valle que se percibe en frente. El sendero se pierde en una zona pantanosa: se debe continuar rumbo al mencionado valle, bordeando ahora por la izquierda una laguna que está secándose, ya casi convertida en pantano.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sobrepasando una pequeña loma a la izquierda de esta última laguna, comienza el descenso al valle, al fondo del cual se observa la gran Taitachugo. Se buscó descender hacia la derecha, siguiendo una zona pedregosa por la que va corriendo un pequeño curso de agua. Aunque no hay sendero, el terreno es despejado y sin obstáculos.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Al cabo de unos doscientos metros de bajada van apareciendo esbozos de senda: conviene seguirlos con atención pues facilitan el avance al llegar a la zona de pastizales donde el terreno es incómodo para caminar. Finalmente tras cerca de medio kilómetro de abrupto descenso, se alcanza el fondo del valle frente a una bonita caída de agua que puede apreciarse desde arriba.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Se observan múltiples senderos difusos que bajan por el valle; se buscó acercarse a la caída de agua y se cruzó la quebrada metros abajo de ella, casi en su unión con otro arroyo. El cruce es fácil, sin necesidad de mojarse los pies en condiciones normales; pero hay que buscar el punto de descenso a la hondonada que crean los cauces de agua, (waypoint quebrada).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
En la otra orilla se prosiguió descendiendo sin sendero definido, buscando el terreno más cómodo: no hay mayores obstáculos, solo algunos tramos pantanosos que siempre pueden evitarse. Abriéndose un poco de la quebrada se encontró una senda antes de medio kilómetro; siguiéndola nuevamente la ruta se aproxima a la orilla del cauce mientras continúa la bajada en una pendiente muy suave. A mano derecha pueden observarse varios afluentes que caen al valle formando bonitos saltos.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hay algunos tramos en que la senda se desdibuja, pero es fácil reencontrarla, casi siempre cerca del curso de agua. Aproximadamente un kilómetro y medio después de cruzar la quebrada aparece nuevamente la visión de la Laguna Taitachugo y el Valle de la Quebrada Osohuayco. La pendiente de descenso aumenta y a un costado se observan pequeños saltos que forma la Quebrada Burin al bajar: hay una cascada muy bonita que puede observarse apartándose solo unos pocos metros del sendero, (waypoint salto).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tras unos trescientos metros de abrupto descenso, el sendero se desdibuja un poco acercándose a la laguna. Se continúo por sendas difusas sin mayores obstáculos los trescientos metros que faltan para alcanzar la orilla de Taitachugo justo en el punto donde llega el río que han formado las quebradas Osohuayco y Burin al unirse.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

[[Archivo:Laguna Taitachugo por Quebrada Burín.png|miniaturadeimagen|Perfil de la caminata a Laguna Taitachugo por Quebrada Burín]]&lt;br /&gt;
==Descripción General==&lt;br /&gt;
Una ruta diferente de acceso a la tercera laguna más grande del Parque Nacional Cajas y una de las más emblemáticas y visitadas. El recorrido en sí es bastante corto, aunque con un alto desnivel para tan poca distancia. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Se asciende a un filo con una magnífica panorámica desde donde incluso se divisa Osohuayco, la segunda laguna en tamaño dentro del Parque. Luego se desciende entre lagunas menores hasta el valle de la Quebrada Burin que baja en medio de hermosas caídas de agua hasta llegar a Taitachugo.&lt;br /&gt;
