==Regular Route==
'''Kilometer 0.0 to 23.0''': Villa Cerro Castillo to eastern terminus of Lago Laparent at Div@33H-23.0
Leave Villa Cerro Castillo on the Carretera Austral and follow this paved road for 1.2 km. Don’t miss the exit shortly after the bridge over Rio Ibañez and continue on the gravel roads to the eastern terminus of Lago Laparent. Water supply to be verified. There are plenty of nice spots to pitch a tent partly on the shore of lakes.
'''Kilometer 23.0 to 43.3''': Eastern terminus of Lago Laparent at Div@33H-23.0 to trail head at Div@33H-43.3
Continue on the gravel road for 20 km. You can refill you water bottles on the numerous small side streams that run down the mountains. Alternatively ask the settlers along the road for water. There are plenty of attractive camp sites along the route.
'''Kilometer 43.3 to 52.0''': Horse trail from Div@33H-43.3 to Div@33H-52.0
The frequently used horse trail is well maintained and generally easy to follow. Only on the open pastures the trail dissipates and forms again where the route enters a forest. Water is frequently available but should be filtered if taken from the larger streams that cross the pastures. The pastures along the route provide scenic camp sites.
'''Kilometer 52.0 to 54.5''': RR-TL-V@33H-52.0-2.5
This trail section is rarely used, poorly maintained and partly not well visible. Fallen trees block the trail in numerous locations and several diversions around these blockages complicate navigation. Verify frequently your GPS to not lose the trail in the forest. This more demanding trail ends where the route leaves the forest and enter the more open valley.
'''Kilometer 54.5 to 59.3''': Upper valley of Rio XY to Pass at waypoint Pass@33H-59.3
The wide open upper valley of Rio XY provides good grazing land for cattle and is used in the summer months for this purpose. Therefore, numerous animal tracks can be spotted in this area. In this area the tracks often indicate an approximate route only and hikers should seek their way more freely in the open parts. Only where the route enters a patch of trees the route should be followed more closely. Towards the end of the valley the route becomes steeper and fields of rocks require careful walking.
