Estimate the taxi fare from Obelisco to La Boca using the current CABA meter tariff, road-route distance, selected travel time and any stopped waiting time you enter. This independent informational tool does not operate taxis, accept bookings or payments, or guarantee the final fare.
The estimate uses the Obelisco and a representative point in the Caminito area. Your exact pickup, street access and La Boca destination can change the road distance.
The Obelisco to La Boca Taxi Fare is calculated by the CABA taximeter, so there is no single fixed price for every journey. For a road distance of about 5 to 6 km with no stopped waiting time, the current meter formula gives an illustrative fare of about ARS 6,720 to ARS 7,680 during the day or ARS 8,050 to ARS 9,200 at night. Your calculator checks the representative road route to the Caminito area and applies the selected day or night tariff.
The final taxi from Obelisco to La Boca may cost more if the route is longer, the vehicle is stopped in traffic, your destination is elsewhere in La Boca, or you carry chargeable extra luggage. Use the calculator above for a trip-specific estimate before travelling.
The Obelisco to La Boca Taxi Fare depends mainly on road distance and stopped waiting time. The official CABA tariff starts with a flagfall and then adds one fare unit for every 200 metres travelled or every stopped waiting minute.
| Fare component | Day tariff | Night tariff |
|---|---|---|
| Applicable time | 6:00 a.m. to 9:59 p.m. | 10:00 p.m. to 5:59 a.m. |
| Starting fare or flagfall | ARS 1,920 | ARS 2,300 |
| Each 200 metres | ARS 192 | ARS 230 |
| Each stopped waiting minute | ARS 192 | ARS 230 |
| Illustrative 5 to 6 km meter amount, with no stopped waiting | ARS 6,720–7,680 | ARS 8,050–9,200 |
The 5 to 6 km values are illustrative meter amounts. The final fare can change with the actual route, stopped waiting time and applicable charges.
The official night tariff is 20% higher and applies from 10:00 p.m. until 6:00 a.m. The published legal values are rounded to ARS 2,300 for the night flagfall and ARS 230 for each night fare unit. The example range above is a meter-formula illustration, not a fixed quote. These values were checked against the City of Buenos Aires taxi tariff
The Obelisco to La Boca Taxi Fare calculator follows the published CABA taximeter structure:
The basic calculation is:
Estimated meter fare = flagfall + distance units + stopped waiting units
For example, a 5.2 km route contains 26 distance units of 200 metres. With no stopped waiting time, the day calculation is ARS 1,920 + (26 × ARS 192) = ARS 6,912. The comparable night calculation uses the published night values: ARS 2,300 + (26 × ARS 230) = ARS 8,280.
This example explains the Obelisco to La Boca taxi cost, but it does not replace the calculated road route. The meter records the actual journey, while the page provides a planning estimate.
The exact road distance depends on the selected destination. La Boca is a neighbourhood, not one single address. A trip to Caminito can have a different distance from a trip to La Bombonera, Fundación Proa or another street in La Boca.
This page uses the Obelisco near Avenida 9 de Julio and Avenida Corrientes as the pickup point and a representative point in the Caminito area as the destination. For this reason, the Obelisco to La Boca Taxi Fare shown here should not be reused for every address in the neighbourhood.
Journey time can change with traffic, street access and the selected route. Total travel time is not simply charged as a per-minute fee. Under the published CABA structure, the time unit applies when the taxi is stopped and the taximeter continues running.
Enter only the stopped waiting time you expect. Do not enter the full journey duration. This makes the taxi meter fare more useful and avoids counting the distance and travel time twice.
The CABA taxi tariff changes according to the time the journey begins. The day rate applies from 6:00 a.m. to 9:59 p.m. The higher night rate applies from 10:00 p.m. to 5:59 a.m.
If a journey is planned close to 10:00 p.m. or 6:00 a.m., select the correct Buenos Aires date and time in the calculator. The Obelisco to La Boca Taxi Fare result will then use the relevant tariff.
The Obelisco stands at the meeting point of Avenida 9 de Julio and Avenida Corrientes in central Buenos Aires. Caminito is a pedestrian street museum in the La Boca neighbourhood. These clear landmarks make them useful reference points, but the actual pickup side and final address can still change the driving route.
For this fixed Obelisco-to-Caminito estimate, the calculator uses:
Both reference points are inside CABA. The possible return-distance surcharge for a trip ending outside the City therefore does not normally apply to this route.
The estimate and the amount on the taximeter can differ. Common reasons include:
Hand luggage and one suitcase or package within the dimensions published by the City are carried without an extra charge. Additional luggage may be charged at the equivalent of five fare units. Check the current rule if you are travelling with several large bags.
Use the route fare calculator in four simple steps:
The calculated duration is a route estimate and should not be treated as live traffic information. Check the fare breakdown to see how much comes from the flagfall, distance and stopped waiting time.

A representative route is roughly 5 to 6 km, but the precise distance depends on the pickup side, road route and destination within La Boca. The calculator uses a point in the Caminito area rather than the whole neighbourhood.
