<br style==KMZ File for Trekking==The KMZ file displayed on the satellite map above is optimized to provide a good overview but does not include waypoints and detailed information for hiking. Therefore the KMZ file below should be downloaded and used if you actually plan to hike a section or the entire Greater Patagonian Trail."clear:both" />
==ImagesIntroduction==Here you find a selection of [http://www.panoramio.com/user/7876187?show=best images from the Greater Patagonian Trail.]
The sections 2 and 3 can be combined with an alternative trial through Greater Patagonian Trail (GPT) is a pristine area long-distance route network in the southern Andes that bypasses spans from the settlement and the road at the finish outskirts of section 2 and Santiago all the start of section 3. This double section makes a true long distance endurance challange that gets you in 2 way to 3 weeks through nearly untouched wilderness without passing a village or a public roadsouthern Patagonia.
On the northern part of the route you will meet solitary cowboys (In Chile called arrieros or puesteros) with their animals. Every spring the Chilean River- and Lake-District livestock is moved on higher ground to graze on mountain pastures. The trail later crosses the Greater Patagonian Trail incorporates homeland of the indigenous Pehuenche (one river of the Mapuche tribes) where majestic Araucaria trees tower above the tribal land and several lakes provide the traditional food for these sometimes shy and sometimes proud people. When going further south you will meet courageous settlers that can be floated down or crossed with a [[#Packraft|packraft]]have ventured into the challenging back-country of Patagonia. If not carrying such a light-weight inflatable boat all these water sections can be bypassed on foodyou are interested, by ferry or with a private boat transfersyou can listen to their stories while sitting around the warm stove and sharing the traditional drink of this region: Mate. These authentic encounters are part of the beauty of this trail.
Carla Lange: "The easiest way to renew your visa GPT is travelling not a hiking trail, it's an adventure and words do not do my experience on it justice. Travelling on the GPT was everything but easy (or necessarily fun all the time) but it returned it all and more. Essential pieces of equipment to Argentina before completing bring on the GPT are your 90 days brain and return a few days later to Chileintuition as well as humbleness, respect and openness for the land and people. On re-entry you will normally be granted another 90 days. Such a visa trip can be combined with a resupply stop in a nearby town. Recommendable visa trips are:* Section 9: From Curarrehue in Chile to Junin de Los Andes or San Martin de Los Andes in Argentina* Section 13: From Osorno in Chile to San Carlos de Bariloche in Argentina"
<br style==Recommended Equipment=====Packraft===A packraft is a light-weight inflatable boat designed to be carried in the backpack when not needed but to carry the backpacker and his backpack over lakes and rivers when he needs it. A packraft is recommended for sections 11, 12, 13, 15 and 16. "clear:both" />
The '''-X''' at the end means that this Greater Patagonian Trail is an optional side tripinformal trail network that grows and changes regularly. In this example its And creating and updating the optional climb documentation to this evolving trail network relies on voluntary work only. Therefore, this Hikers’ Manual is not expected to be completed in the summit of the volcano Descabezado Grandeforeseeable future and will remain a growing and evolving document. This unfinished nature has been made intentionally visible by displaying empty chapters with red “To be issued.” remarks and similar comments in red. This shows what topics are planned to be covered with future updates and where contributions and reviews are welcome.
===The estimated walking time is calculated purely based on distances, ascents and descents. I opted to use such a calculation because it removes the unnecessary seek and search detours and the factor of having a good day or a bad day. I developed and verified this calculation method based on all our GPS records and was surprised myself that such a simplified calculation provides quite reliable estimates. The calculated times correspond closely with our actual walking time. If applied to our actual GPS records the average deviation per day is 15 minutes and never more than 50 minutes.Wikiexplora GPT Section Articles===
The used calculation factors are:* 12:23 minutes per km GPT route network (corresponds with 4.8 currently more than 20’000 km/h on a level trailof tracks)* 11:26 minutes per 100 m ascent* 3:44 minutes per 100 m descentis divided into approx. 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 the community. To enable such a collaboration one Wikiexplora article was created for each section of the GPT. These wikies collect all the section specific information and are open for edits and additions by all GPT hikers. So hikers that enjoy writing can become a co-author by editing the section descriptions after their return from the GPT.
===DifficultyThe GPT Facebook Group===The isolation and the high passes make this a rather difficult but rewarding trail. Good orientational skill are required because hardly any signposts are placed and some parts of the trail are cross country.
