15/1/2018 bus from El Chalten to Los Antiguos

By Anonymous
I feel awful after the heavy drinking. And we have to pack and last till the evening to get a bus to Los Antiguos. 

I stayed in the hostal lobby pretty much the whole day. We spoke with another Czech couple traveling the world and Denisa went for a hike to Mirador del Torre. 

Around 18:00 we left the hostal and stopped in a small coffee place. The bus Cal-Tur is scheduled for 7:30pm, we got to the bus terminal at 7 and the bus left at 7:50pm. There were another 2 buses (Marga Taqsa, Chaitén travel) leaving around the same time. We had no seats numbers and the bus was full. Around 15 loud girls from probably Israel held many places to their group, so we could not sit together with my wife. It is a normal bus and there is a small toilet with a big sticker saying “the toilet is for liquids only”. And a big sticker at front, saying “please don’t take your shoes off”. 


At 21:20 we stopped in a village called Tres Lagos and people could go to buy some drink or food to a supermarket next to the bus stop. We continued after 20 minutes, at 21:40. The road is unpaved and the bus goes like 20 km per hour. At 01:30am another stop at petrol station at Gobernador Gregores and at 02:00am continues. I felt asleep, so I don’t remember other stops, but around 7:40am we stopped at a bus terminal in Perito Moreno...

9/1/2018 Bus from Puerto Natales to El Calafate

By Anonymous
We got up early, “cooked” porridge for breakfast and went to the bus terminal to catch our bus at 7:30 (Cootra Ltda, 17000 Chilean pesos per person, tickets bought at the bus terminal one day in advance). Our seats were downstairs. The way to the border is quite short and soon we got off the bus to get an exit stamp from Chilean border. Straight after leaving the migrations office, our driver gave us a customs declaration form for Argentina (the same one as you get on a plane to Argentina). We filled the form in during the way to the Argentinian border and there we got an enter stamp into our passport. Then we waited about 1.5 hours. Someone lost their passport or had an issue with their passport and we were waiting (the whole bus) to get it resolved. After the 90 minutes (around 11am) we finally left (without that person).  At 3pm we reached El Calafate and asked for a map of the town and then walked from the bus terminal to the centre to book Perito Moreno Glaciar trip...
