Most travelers arriving in El Calafate spend their entire trip jumping between different drivers, group buses and confusing apps. You don't have to. Hiring a private driver — one person who knows the area, speaks your language, and adapts to your pace — turns Patagonia from a logistics puzzle into the trip you actually came for.
Your driver
Daniel Jerez
I've lived in El Calafate since 2012. I've been running private transfers through Patagonia since 2024. I'll meet you at the airport with a sign, drive you to the glacier, wait while you trek El Chaltén, and bring you back at sunset. Same driver the whole trip — no surprises, no rotating staff.

What I actually do
It's not just driving. Here's what travelers get when they hire me as their private driver in El Calafate.

🏔️El Chaltén Full Day

Why hire a private driver
In Patagonia, the difference between a stressful trip and an unforgettable one often comes down to logistics. A private driver eliminates the friction.
⏰
Your schedule, not theirs
No fixed group departures. Want to leave at 6 AM to catch the sunrise? Done. Want to stay an extra hour at the glacier? No problem.
🚗
Just you in the vehicle
No sharing with strangers, no stops at other hotels. Direct, exclusive, comfortable. Especially valuable after long-haul flights.
📡
Flight tracking included
If your flight is delayed, I already know. The pickup adjusts automatically — and there's no surcharge for waiting.
📸
Scenic stops on the way
I know where to pull over for the best photos: the lookout points, the lagoons with flamingos, the spots with condors overhead.
🌍
Real local context
I tell you the history, the geology, the political shifts that shaped Patagonia. Not a script — just real conversation.
💰
Fixed pricing, no surprises
You know the exact price before you book. No meter, no surge pricing, no hidden fees. Cash, credit card or USD.
💡The math nobody mentions: For 3-4 travelers, hiring me as a private driver costs less per person than booking individual group tours — and you get total flexibility, an exclusive vehicle, and a single point of contact for the whole trip.
