From Torres del Paine
Transfer Overview
A private transfer between El Chaltén and the Chilean side of Patagonia, including Torres del Paine National Park and Puerto Natales, is a practical way to connect the main trekking areas of Southern Patagonia without changing buses or handling luggage at terminals.
This private transfer is a good option after the W Trek, the O Circuit, or a stay in Torres del Paine, especially if your route continues to El Chaltén, Fitz Roy and Los Glaciares National Park. The same service can be arranged in the opposite direction, from El Chaltén to Puerto Natales or Torres del Paine National Park.
Instead of combining several bus connections across Patagonia, you travel by private minivan with pickup and drop-off arranged around your itinerary. We can pick you up from an agreed point in Torres del Paine, Puerto Natales or El Chaltén, and take you directly to your hotel, lodge, camp, estancia or another accessible address on the route.

Can we add photo stops, El Calafate, or Perito Moreno Glacier to the route?
No, the timing of this transfer does not allow for sightseeing detours such as El Calafate or Perito Moreno Glacier. This is a long international route, and the priority is to complete the border crossing and reach El Chaltén within a reasonable travel day.
Short photo stops along the road may be possible if time, weather, and road conditions allow, but they cannot be planned as full sightseeing stops.
A lunch stop at a simple restaurant or estancia along the way may be arranged on request, if it is possible for the route and schedule. This must be coordinated in advance and will increase both the travel time and the cost of the transfer, as it involves additional waiting time for the driver and vehicle.
