Estimate a Puerto Madero to Recoleta taxi fare using the published Buenos Aires flagfall, charge per 200 metres, stopped waiting-time rate and the day or night tariff. This independent informational tool does not operate taxis, accept bookings or payments, or guarantee the final meter fare.
Puerto Madero and Recoleta cover more than one pickup or drop-off street. The calculator uses representative neighbourhood points, so the road distance and final meter fare can change for your exact addresses.
The Puerto Madero to Recoleta Taxi Fare is usually calculated with the official taximeter tariff for the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires (CABA). For a representative journey of about 5 to 6 km, the meter calculation is approximately ARS 6,720 to ARS 7,680 during the day or ARS 8,050 to ARS 9,200 at night, before stopped waiting time or other applicable charges.
The exact Puerto Madero to Recoleta Taxi Fare depends on the pickup street, destination, road route, travel time and minutes spent stopped. Puerto Madero and Recoleta are large neighbourhoods, so a trip between their closest points can cost less than a journey between more distant addresses. Use the calculator above to check a route-based estimate for your selected date and time.
Example distance: 5 to 6 km
Day meter estimate: ARS 6,720 to ARS 7,680
Night meter estimate: ARS 8,050 to ARS 9,200
Day tariff hours: 6:00 a.m. to 9:59 p.m.
Night tariff hours: 10:00 p.m. to 5:59 a.m.
Currency: Argentine pesos (ARS)
These figures are route examples, not fixed prices. The calculator uses representative points in both neighbourhoods and applies a range to help account for normal route variation.
The Puerto Madero to Recoleta Taxi Fare uses the same CABA meter structure as other ordinary taxi journeys within Buenos Aires. The fare starts with the flagfall, locally called the bajada de bandera. The taximeter then adds one fare unit, or ficha, for every 200 metres travelled or every minute the vehicle remains stopped.
| Fare component | Day tariff | Night tariff |
|---|---|---|
| Applicable hours | 6:00 a.m. to 9:59 p.m. | 10:00 p.m. to 5:59 a.m. |
| Starting meter fare | ARS 1,920 | ARS 2,300 |
| Every 200 metres | ARS 192 | ARS 230 |
| Each stopped waiting minute | ARS 192 | ARS 230 |
Estimated fare = starting meter fare + distance units + stopped waiting units
For example, a 5 km route contains 25 distance units of 200 metres. The day calculation is ARS 1,920 + (25 × ARS 192), which equals ARS 6,720 before waiting time. The equivalent night calculation is ARS 2,300 + (25 × ARS 230), which equals ARS 8,050.
The route fare changes according to the time the journey begins. The day tariff applies from 6:00 a.m. until 9:59 p.m. The night tariff applies from 10:00 p.m. until 5:59 a.m. and uses the higher night values shown in the table.
You do not need to choose the tariff manually. Select the planned Buenos Aires travel date and time in the calculator. It will apply the corresponding day or night tariff before displaying the estimate.
CABA charges one fare unit for each minute that the taxi remains stopped. Traffic lights, congestion and a requested stop may therefore increase the final taximeter amount. Enter only the additional stopped waiting time you expect. Do not enter the full journey duration because the distance component is calculated separately.
The road distance is not one fixed number because both names refer to neighbourhoods rather than single addresses. A commonly referenced neighbourhood-to-neighbourhood taxi route is about 6 km, while the straight-line distance between the areas is shorter. One-way streets, the selected avenue and the exact pickup and drop-off points can change the route.
Travel time can also vary considerably with Buenos Aires traffic. The calculator shows an estimated road distance and duration for its representative route, but the duration sh

The final Puerto Madero to Recoleta Taxi Fare shown on the taximeter may differ from the online estimate because of:
Under the published city rules, hand luggage and one suitcase or package within the stated size limit are carried without an extra luggage charge. Each additional chargeable item may add the value of five fare units. This calculator does not automatically add luggage, tolls or a dispatch charge.
For a representative 5 to 6 km trip, the Puerto Madero to Recoleta Taxi Fare is approximately ARS 6,720 to ARS 7,680 during the day or ARS 8,050 to ARS 9,200 at night, before stopped waiting time and other applicable charges. Enter the travel time in the calculator for a route-based estimate.
A representative road journey is about 5 to 6 km, but the exact distance depends on the two streets selected. A pickup near the western edge of Puerto Madero may produce a shorter route than a pickup farther east.
There is no guaranteed journey time. The route is relatively short, but traffic, one-way streets and the exact addresses can change the duration. Use the map result as an approximate planning time.
Yes. The night tariff applies from 10:00 p.m. to 5:59 a.m. It uses a starting fare of ARS 2,300 and adds ARS 230 for every 200 metres or stopped waiting minute.
Yes, when you enter additional stopped minutes. Each stopped minute adds one fare unit. Leave the field at zero if you do not want to include extra waiting in the estimate.
The same CABA tariff rules apply in the reverse direction. However, the estimate may differ because one-way streets and the selected pickup and drop-off points can change the road distance.
