Our first day in Buenos Aires
puerto madero
Is there a shuttle bus that goes from Ezeiza airport to the Palermo area or is my only option to take a taxi?
Approximately how much would a taxi cost? Thanks for any advice.
Hi liz,
The company Manuel Tienda Léon runs a shuttle from Ezeiza Airport to Buenos Aires Terminal Madero (near Rio de la Plata) and to the Jorge Newbery smaller airport nearby. About 45 pesos one way. Shuttle can drop you off at your centrally located hotel (OR you take a smaller van fm Terminal Madero to your central location)
Below is an excerpt from Ezeiza Airport Site, about taxis and remises. "Remises" mean prepaid or pre-arranged taxis & were always recommended to me during my stay in Argentina. However, when I left Buenos Aires to return home, my landlord recommended a taxi driver & we made arrangements with him, it was cheaper than a remise & he was very professional. I forget how much, I think around 60 pesos.

Buen viajo!
Manuel Tienda Leon to the city and then take a taxi to Palermo. Not expensive at all considering the distance.
There is a taxi kiosk in the arrivals hall directly in front as you exit the final customs check. You pre pay, a flat rate which has been increasing on an all too regular basis due to inflation. Once you have provided the address, paid your fare and given a receipt they will assist you with your bags and take you out and load the taxi and provide the driver with the address. Most of the taxis are serviceable but not the most comfortable. The remise stands at the airport tend to cost much more than ordering one a company that is not based at EZE. There are a couple of very reliable ones, Dante http://dantesairporttransfers.hazedaze.com/
speaks English and honest. Frankly once you pay for the Mini bus on Manuel Tienda Leon http://www.tiendaleon.com.ar/home/home.asp# to their terminal in Puerto Madero which is very near the downtown area, then deal with finding a taxi and back tracking to Palermo I am not sure your savings would be much at all and the additional time would certainly minimize any price difference. They also provide a remise service but you will note on their web site that the price would be about $arg 30 more than Dante's rate.
It is well worth the few extra dollars or pesos to have a driver booked, meeting you in the arrivals hall and taking you directly.
suerte

Thanks to all of you for taking the time to give me some advice.....much appreciated!
The cemeteries are really interesting. Of course the Recoleta Cemetery where Evita is buried is interesting, but also check out the Chacarita Cemetary where Juan Peron and Carlos Gardel are located. The Gardel tomb is very interesting, almost festive. I had a great time on the BiciTour (shown below), a 3-hour bicycle tour operated by a local guy and his wife. You can get information at the Tourist Info sites.
I visited BA in Nov, 2004 (just as city was beginning to emerge from a few bad economic years). I found a wonderful service called, "Meet Buenos Aires", www.meetbuenosaires.com is how to locate them. They provide a quide for a very reasonable price who will take you anywhere you would like to go, and will help you find the best bargains on everything from goods to restaurants. Their language skills are excellent, and their friendly, honest guidance is simply terrific. I stumbled on them while surfing the web. I would call it, "Hire a friend" because I truly felt (as did my wife) that our guide, Estaban, became a friend. Always the best way to see a new place.
Flan is practically the national dessert, and probably you are already familiar with this dessert made of eggs and milk. You will find it on the dessert menu of almost every restaurant, and in many cases it is "flan casera", meaning home made flan. Many people also make it at home. Of all the desserts in Argentina, I think this perhaps is the most typical and I definitely wouldn't leave the country without having eaten it at least once. It is often servd with Argentina's other specialty, dulce de leche, which is like caramel.
You can't miss an 'asado' in a local home. Try to know some people from Argentina and ask them to invite you to their homes to do an 'asado'. I'm able to do it, just contact me.
This is one of the tipicals meals in Argentina, and it means much more than that, it's a kind of social ritual, where people share experiencies, chat a lot, sing, drink and eat, of course. Afterwards, go to a pub and then dancing
YOU CAN'T MISS IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
