Taxis are cheap.
There are literally dozens of taxis available in the city. We tried to take taxis from our hotel. These people are usually known to the hotel as safe and reliable. We did on occasion take a taxi from the street corner, but didn't make a habit of it. The drivers are very fast and don't pay a lot of attention to lines on the road. They seem to drive where they want. It paid to have nerves of steel in some instances. We had really nice drivers who wanted to speak English and were really proud of their city. On one occasion we had a great driver originally from Italy. He spent the entire morning with us. Here's to you Paulo.
