Hey Everyone,
Heading to El Calafate in March and want to bus to Chalten for a couple of days. Found a bus service online that costs about $130 US roundtrip. That seemed high to me. Anyone have info on bus services their prices and their schedules?
Thanks!!!!!
Reply to this I really cant remember the price of the bus but $130 round trip is crazy. It's a four hour bus journey and I'd say $20 max. There are daily buses as there is a steady flow of travelers heading in both directions.
Reply to this We were there recently and there was a good deal in the El Calafate bus station that was a bus there and back and 2 nights in a hostel in El Chalten. I can't remember the price but it certainly wasn't $130! That seems an awful lot and you'd be much better off sorting out when you get to Argentina. As above, there are plenty of buses going between the two.
Reply to this I travelled to El Chalten from El Calafate by bus when I was in Argentina in February. I know I didn't pay 130 USD for a round trip! I think it was more near 130 ARPeso (around 30-40 USD) although I'm not sure now how much I exactly paid. That was with Chalten Travel but there could be cheaper journeys elsewhere.
