For this journey, I recommend taking a flight from Porto Alegre's Salgado Filho International Airport (POA) to Fortaleza International Airport (FOR) with a layover, potentially in São Paulo. From Fortaleza, you can take a bus or rent a car to reach Pindoretama, which is approximately 56 km away and takes about an hour by road.
