Places to go El Calafate, Argentina
Getting in and out
Air
- Aerolineas Argentina offers flights from buenos aires and Ushuia. Check prices for non-citizens because foreigners pay a higher price from what I remember
- Once you arrive at the airport try and buddy up with some people and split a taxi into town.
bus
- Route 40 is a slow bumpy ride from Bariloche, but very scenic. If you like scenery check out Chaltentravel. People either love it or hate it.
