Good comfort but the cleaning could have been better

All of the busses are so late. Our bus to calafate was so late we couldn’t even make our bus to Chalten and we wasted $70 on bus tickets we didn’t get to use and now our plans are delayed and pushed back and we wasted money on a hotel on chalten because we didn’t even make it there to check in to our hotel. It’s impossible to get anywhere on time with the bus system in these countries. When we finally made it to calafate the workers at the chalten bus station wouldn’t even talk to us because they were “closed”. We had to find a hotel for one night in calafate at 10pm because of how late the busses were
