<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 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" />
==Required Skills and Capabailites=The GPT Hikers Manual===To be issued.
The walking times provided here are estimated moving times without any breaks GPT route network (with currently more than 20’000 km of tracks) is divided into approx. 90 sections. Collecting and restsupdating all essential information to all these sections can’t impossibly be done by a single author but requires the continuous collaboration of the community. When evalutating our GPS records I was surprised that we did not move nearly To enable such a collaboration one third Wikiexplora article was created for each section of the time between leaving the camp in GPT. These wikies collect all the morning section specific information and stopping again in the evening. It did not appear to us that we make such long breaks but the GPS record does not lieare open for edits and additions by all GPT hikers. So hikers that enjoy writing can become a walking time of 6 hours means more or less a 9 hour hiking day adding normal breaks to to eat, take pictures, verify navigation, chating with co-author by editing the locals on section descriptions after their return from the trail or harvesting some piñonesGPT.
The used calculation factors are:* 12:23 minutes per km (corresponds with 4.8 km/h informal and unpredictable nature of the GPT makes it also relevant that hikers quickly exchange updates and advices while travelling on a level this evolving route network. This can be information to temporary unpassable trail)* 11sections, volcano alerts, river conditions or anything that makes you think in hindsight:26 minutes per 100 m ascent* 3:44 minutes per 100 m descent“I should have known this before!”. In the Wikiexplora section articles, hikers can post such alerts and advices. Additionally, hikers can provide any other beneficial information and suggestion that is not yet included in the section description.
===The trail should get you further south on a route that is worthwhile hiking. It should consist mainly of horse trails or minor dirt road with no or insignificant traffic. Walking i.e. long distances on the Careterra Austral seams not tempting to me. If I take the Careterra Austral, than I rather do it by bicycle.GPT Track Files===
The route should be passable without a machete, technical climbing or superman skills. Cross country through of an open landscape Greater Patagonian Trail is great but I do not want to fight me tree composed of existing routes that were mainly made by tree through dense tampered rainforestthe local settlers to serve their purposes. Hikers are unexpected guests on many of these trails. Only smaller parts of these routes have some kind of trail markers.
