Part 3/8:
When choosing where to stay, Brittany stresses the importance of proximity to the Avenida de Libertador, the main street with restaurants and shops in El Calafate. Travelers should be cautious of any accommodations situated on steep hills, as these can add to the fatigue after a day of exploration. Researching lodging options ahead of time can save you from unnecessary uphill treks.
Upon arriving at the tiny airport in El Calafate, Brittany lists transport options: taxis (approximately 4,000 pesos), shuttle buses (1,200 pesos), or directly continuing to destinations like El Chaltén. Knowing transportation costs in advance can save time and avoid frustration.
