The Greater Patagonian Trail is not a hiking trail.
'''All this makes the GPT a discovery network with a good portion of unpredictability but impressive authenticity.'''
===Trail Length and Trail Type Composition===
The Greater Patagonian Trail is not a normal single line long distance trail but a wide discovery trail network with countless options and alternatives. Therefore the actual length that someone may walk and paddle depends highly on the selected sections, the chosen route and the method of travel (hiking only, packrafting wherever possible or a balanced combination of both). Also a further extension of the trail towards the southern tip of the continent is in preparation. For this reason there is no precise number for the trail length and only examples can be provided.
