  1. It IS Brazil after all, though, and it would be a shame to spend your time on the ship IMO. Grab a relatively inexpensive taxi to nearby Guaruja, probably the best beach in the area, and at least see a bit of Paulistano leisure life. It's about 11 kilometers from Santos. There is also a mall in Pitangueiras, one of the Guaruja beaches.

    Are there taxicabs readily available both to and from Guaruja? How long a trip is it from this beach to the Santos Cruise port?

     

    Thanks.

  2. There are threads regarding the availability, safety, & costs of transportation from GIG airport to the cruise terminal. However, we need the reverse - from the Cruise terminal to GIG on February 18 around 5:00 PM. The private tour that we are a part of will drop off the other passengers back at the ship, and then take us to the airport. However, the charge (for 2 of us including luggage) is $110 US, which seems VERY VERY high.

     

    I am concerned that at that time of day (5:00 PM there won't be the usual large array of taxis, etc.)

     

    What alternatives are there, and at what cost?? Is it both safe and reliable??

     

    Thanks.
