El Calafate to El Chaltén

El Calafate and El Chaltén are the two anchors of any Los Glaciares itinerary: one is the region’s hub, the other the base for Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre. Huemul Travel connects them with transfers that work around your plans instead of a rigid bus timetable.

Travel with a company that actually lives at the destination: our team is based in El Chaltén, drives this road in every season, and can answer your trail and town questions on the way in English or Spanish.

What to Expect

We collect you from your accommodation in El Calafate, or from the airport if you are arriving the same day, and take you to your address in El Chaltén. Tell us your group size and the number and approximate size of your bags so the right vehicle is assigned.

Vehicles run from a Toyota Hilux or similar for a small group up to a minibus for a large one, and a luggage trailer can be added when the load needs it. Our drivers live in El Chaltén, so ask about trails and the town on the way in.

Common Questions

Is this a private or shared transfer?

Our transfers are private unless the booking confirmation specifically states that the service is shared. A private transfer reserves the vehicle for your group and allows the departure time and pickup location to be arranged around your itinerary.

We can normally arrange pickup from hotels, apartments, bus terminals, airports, trailheads, and other approved locations within the service area. Your exact pickup and drop-off points will be confirmed before the transfer.

Standard suitcases, trekking backpacks, photography equipment, and outdoor gear can normally be transported. Please tell us the number of passengers and the amount of luggage before booking so we can assign a suitable vehicle.

Send us your travel date, preferred departure time, passenger count, pickup location, destination, and luggage requirements. We will confirm availability, the complete price, and the booking conditions before payment.

Child seats may be available when requested in advance. Please provide the child’s age and approximate weight when making your reservation so we can confirm the appropriate seat.

Your cancellation conditions will be provided before the booking is confirmed. The amount refunded may depend on how far in advance the cancellation is requested and whether the vehicle has already been assigned.
