In a laborious research possible hiking and packraft extension routes were investigated using Google Earth and numerous other internet sources. The most promising options were compiled in Google Earth into KMZ files and uploaded to wikiexplora as section 19 to 27. See the two tables below. These proposed extensions cover the entire area from the current finish of section 18 to the northern shore of the Lago General Carrera or Lago Bueno Aires (Chileans and Argentines could not agree on one name for this lake cross-border lake therefore it this lake has two names). This proposed extension add an estiamted 600 to 700 km.
Both proposed extensions, the Hiking-Only-Option (GPT19H to GPT27H) and Packraft-Option (GPT19P to GPT27P) are expected to be more challanging then the already cornfirmed sections (GPT01 to GPT18). The trails are located in more remote ares, are less frequently travelled and the packraft paddle section span larger rivers, lakes and fjords. Weather is colder, more rainy and more windy. Therefore these routes are only recommended for experienced well-equipped hikers and packrafters that wish to investiage these not yet confirmed and recorded trails.
From the soutern shore of the Lago General Carrera start further promising trails and minor roads that can be combined to an attractive continious trail all the way to the glacier Viedma near the famous Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre massive. This route connects Chile Chico, Reserva Nacional Lago Jeinemeni, Parque Patagonia, Reserva Nacional Lago Cochrane (Tamango), Cochrane, "Ruta de los Pioneros", Villa O'Higgins, .
