From RÃo Gallegos: many buses (4hrs/ 300kms) they leave from bus station with a stop at the Rio Gallegos's airport to go on to El Calafate.
If you're driving from Buenos Aires 35-hour drive approx. We recommend the following route: Exit BUE via the new freeway to Cañuelas, then Route 3. When you get to Azul, take Route 76 for the next 75 km, then Route 51 all the way to BahÌa Blanca. From there, Route 22 to Rio Colorado. Fill up your tank, then continue a few km to the Route 251 intersection, going south towards San Antonio Oeste (you'll pass Gral. Conesa). Then continue on to Route 3 to Rio Gallegos and Calafate (in case you don't want to drive on gravel), otherwise take a shortcut via Provincial Route 9 ('la cortada') right after passing Comandante Luis Piedra Buena (before Rio Gallegos) to El Calafate. You'll save 230 km this way, although your speed average will be low due to curves and gravel roads. If you're driving from other points, we suggest you study a good road map. The road from Rio Gallegos to Calafate is in bad shape now, slow down !
