Note: the shuttle from El Calafate airport to El Chalten has a fixed timetable. If the arrival time of your flight is outside the shuttle times we can reverse the direction and begin in El Calafate to end in El Chalten. There are also regular buses if the shuttle timetable does not match the arriving flight. Try to avoid arriving to El Calafate later than 5 pm

Optional upgrade: Instead of returning to El Chaltén after the Laguna de los Tres trek, spend the night surrounded by Patagonia’s wilderness at Fitz Camp (glamping experience with half board included). The following day, continue directly towards Laguna Torre avoiding the backtracking to town and turning the journey into a more immersive multi-day trekking adventure.
