Remise/taxi by vtveen
Remise/taxiEl Calafate isn?t that big and in town you will not need a taxi/remise. And we didn?t see a ?normal? taxi on the roads in El Calafate. On the other hand we used a remise arriving by plane to go to our accommodation.
Be aware the airport is situated about 18 km?s from the city. There is also a shuttle bus, but we booked a remise a the booth in the arrival hall of the airport. During our visit (November 2005) the fare for a ride to our accommodation was 38 pesos. But within 30 minutes we were from our plane in our hostel.
Leaving El Calafate we also had a remise to transport us from the hostel (a little bit outside the city centre) to the bus station. The helpful people from our hostel made a phone call for this remise.
El Calafate has several 'agencias de remisse', so you will never have a problem to get one of these taxi's.
