There are two possible ways of access
to El Calafate by air.
The first and most advisable one is a direct flight to the new
El Calafate International Airport (that includes trips from
the city of Buenos Aires).
The so-called “old option” is a flight to the city
of Rio Gallegos. From there by Provincial Route 5, which is
entirely paved, 316 kilometres are covered up to El Calafate.
There are numerous regular services of buses, vans, coaches
from local travel agencies and tourist services from other parts
of Argentina (mainly Buenos Aires travel agencies). All of them
do this 4-hour journey.
Vehicle owners may take National Route 3 and then the Provincial
Route. |

Bariloche 1,449 kilometres (by Route 40)
It is a highly recommendable route because it allows tourists
to appreciate picturesque landscapes since the road borders
the Andean range, passing by typical southern villages and several
National Parks where the most varied Patagonian natural beauties
can be observed.
Some of the villages along this route are:
El Bolson
Esquel
Los Antiguos
Perito Moreno
The route is mostly made of rubble, even though there are some
paved sections and some others are scheduled to be built in
the near future. |
