If this introduction quickened your appetite to explore this network of trails then don't stop reading here and don't pack your backpack yet. The product range in smaller villages and towns GPT is limitedquite different from what you might expect. In particular dehydrated trekking food may not be offered at all. If Especially if you prefer to have some special stuff that you find only thru-hiked the famous long-distance trails in Santiago the US (i.e. the Appalachian Trail, the Pacific Crest Trail or that the Continental Divide Trail) or if you bring with you from overseas you have walked on the following option: You pack a box with food and other gear in European pilgrimage trails (i.e. the Camino de Santiago and send ) don't assume that the box with one of the mayor bus companies to GPT will be a town where similar experience and that you plan a resupply stopare already prepared for it. To send the box you do not need any address in This region and this town; all you need to do route network is making yourself the recipient of your own packageunequal in nature. The bus company will ship your box to this town Some best practices and habits that are important on established trails in 1 or 2 days the US and store it until you pick it up (storage of up to 30 days is free of charge)Europe would be foolish in Patagonia. There you can take out of your box whatever you need Other skills and resend the box aptitudes are essential to truly appreciate the next resupply townGreater Patagonian Trail.
Carla Lange: "The file GPT is organized in folders and subfolders for not a better overview in particular when viewing and organizing the hiking trail , it's an adventure and words do not do my experience on a computerit justice. There is one folder for each section Travelling on the GPT was everything but easy (or necessarily fun all the time) but it returned it all and each section contains a subfolder for waypoints more. Essential pieces of equipment to bring on the GPT are your brain and a subfolder intuition as well as humbleness, respect and openness for tracksthe land and people."
Matgorzata (Gosia) Gmerek and Paul Bostelmann: “The Greater Patagonian Trail Network is a challenging and rewarding adventure that leads one through diverse and breathtaking scenery. Far from crowds and often without seeing other people for days this experience was without a doubt the highlight of our hiking career. Packrafting and exploring the beautiful lakes and rivers allows to reach even deeper into these wonderful and wild ecosystems. This is no ordinary hike and absolute self-reliance and wilderness experience is a must.”
* 006: Running number1 Introduction and General Information, * 2 Terrain and Section Information and * 3 Appendix and Indices.
Chapter 1 provides a general overview and a good understanding of the nature of the GPT. You should read the entire chapter 1 thoroughly if you consider hiking on this route network because this part of the Hikers’ Manual guides you through your preparation.
Chapter 2 familiarizes you with the geography of the southern Andes and describes each section of the GPT. This local knowledge is essential to thoughtfully select your route on this vast network and to prepare yourself for each section while hiking. Therefore, parts of chapter 2 are important during the preparation phase while other parts will become your guide when hiking on the GPT.
The estimated walking time Greater Patagonian Trail is calculated purely based on distances, ascents an informal trail network that grows and descentschanges regularly. I opted to use such a calculation because it removes the unnecessary seek and search detours And creating and updating the factor of having a good day or a bad day. I developed and verified documentation to this calculation method based evolving trail network relies on all our GPS records voluntary work only. Therefore, this Hikers’ Manual is not expected to be completed in the foreseeable future and was surprised myself that such will remain a simplified calculation provides quite reliable estimatesgrowing and evolving document. The calculated times correspond closely This unfinished nature has been made intentionally visible by displaying empty chapters with our actual walking timered “To be issued. If applied ” remarks and similar comments in red. This shows what topics are planned to your actual records the average deviation per day is 15 minutes be covered with future updates and where contributions and never more than 50 minutesreviews are welcome.
===ExtensionsThe Wikiexplora GPT Section Articles===This trail is not finished yet. There is plenty of terrain left till this trail finally reaches the southern tip of Patagonia and ends either on the shores of the Magellan street or even on Tierra del Fuego. So, if you hiked a section that extends this trail further south or that simply covers an area that is not included yet you are more than welcome to become a co-author by contributing your trail.
The trail should get you further south on a GPT route that network (with currently more than 20’000 km of tracks) is worthwhile hikingdivided into approx. It should consist mainly 90 sections. Collecting and updating all essential information to all these sections can’t impossibly be done by a single author but requires the continuous collaboration of horse trails or minor dirt road with no or insignificant trafficthe community. Walking i.e. long distances on To enable such a collaboration one Wikiexplora article was created for each section of the Careterra Austral seams not tempting to meGPT. If I take These wikies collect all the Careterra Austral, than I rather do it section specific information and are open for edits and additions by bicycleall GPT hikers. So hikers that enjoy writing can become a co-author by editing the section descriptions after their return from the GPT.
It is my intention to transfer the updated section information into the Hikers’ Manual before the start of each season to make this information available offline (chapter 2.5 Sections with the section documentations). But all hikers are advised the check the corresponding Wikiexplora GPT section articles before starting a section to read the latest updates and alerts of fellow hikers.
===Access Publications to Startthe GPT by other Hikers and Packrafters===The trail starts in the tiny village Radal near the cascade "Siete Tazas".
The rather long day hike from GPT is an informal route network that consists mostly of trails, roads and cross-country routes that were not created with hikers in mind. Most of the hot springs trails were made by the local population to serve their purposes, e.g. to drive animals to summer pastures, to get to remote settlements and outposts or to extract wood from the base camp Descabezado Grande requires reasonable good weather as you cross a 2700 m passforest.The routes that the GPT is composed of include:
This trail is therefore not suitable for hikers who are out to race a clock, or those that need full control and measure their success in kilo¬meters or miles. It'''Camp (GPT01-WP010)''': There are some nice camp sites on the meadows of El Bolsons for hikers for whom completion is irrelevant, and instead count their enjoyable and eventful days in a pristine and diverse environment. Inside the national park CONAF does It’s a trail for thoughtful discoverers who can accept being guests and not permit camp firesdominators.
'''Pass 2260 m (GPT01-WP012)All this makes the GPT a discovery network with a good portion of unpredictability but an impressive authenticity.''': First pass with nice view back into the Valle del Indio. After this pass comes a 2 km levelled section before ascending to the second pass.
In contrast, when reaching Patagonia, get ready for frequent and enduring rain. Also, don'''River Crossing & Camp (GPT01-WP029)''': Astonishing oasis t expect to walk high up in the middle mountains in the heartland of Patagonia as there is simply no continuously high mountain range. In Patagonia high mountains are rather like islands that are surrounded by dense temperate rainforest in the west and a volcanic semi-desert-like Pampa in the east. These island-like mountains are separated by wide valleys that were carved by giant glaciers during past glacial periods. Good camp site The wide valleys are now partly filled with lakes that drain their waterin powerful rivers into the Patagonian fjords. Therefore, “real Patagonia” is best traveled by packraft because a packraft gets you on these lakes, fire wood rivers and wind protectionfjords.
'''Water (GPT01This trail was not created to thru-WP033)hike Patagonia, it's a route network for immersion-hiking. The GPT does not get you through Patagonia but gets you deep into Patagonia.''': Clear fresh water spring.
'''Trail Head (GPT01From a thru-WP039)hiking perspective the GPT is less than a long-distance trail.''': Trail head (or end)There is no clearly defined and well-marked single trail to blaze along, there is no thru-hiking community to trail talk and there are no “trail angels” providing “trail magic”. Turn right onto On the hydropower station roadGPT hikers have no domiciliary rights; they are just unexpected guests. Also, the packrafting options do not benefit thru-hiking as they do not make a traverse faster.
'''Bus Stop (GPT01For respectful explorers the GPT is much more than a long-WP043)distance trail.''': Unmarked bus stop on It’s a wide network of routes with many hiking options and packrafting in a diverse landscape. A unique blend of people lives along the Route 115 trails making the hike more of a cultural experience. If approached with respect and interest, then these welcoming people will share much more than just the right-of-way regardless where you are coming from and where you are walking to Talca. On this trail your willingness and capability to immerse yourself in this culture will be more relevant than the weight of your backpack.
If you find Triple Crown Thru-Hikers more credible to speak about thru-hiking the GPT than read in the Hikers'''Bus Stop Manual how Lauren Reed (GPT01-WP045Neon)''': Unmarked bus stop on and Christine Thürmer (German Tourist) experienced the Route 115 GPT in comparison with the renowned US long distance trails. Lauren was the first hiker to Talcawalk the entire length of the GPT in two seasons together with Bethany Hughes (Fidgit).
