Late Night Ground Transportation from El Calafate to Puerto Natales / Torres del Paine
A few friends and I were hoping to visit Patagonia this January.
We will be flying in to El Calafate at 6:30 PM on a Monday, and hoping to get to Torres del Paine as quickly as possible.
I'm wondering if there is an overnight bus service from El Calafate to Puerto Natales or, even better, Torres del Paine.
I've read that a lot of people arrange for private ground transportation (i.e. a private coach hire). If so, what are the companies and how are people making these bookings?
