Recommendation
For a balance of speed and comfort, I recommend taking a flight from Belem to Recife with either LATAM or Gol, followed by a bus transfer using one of the reputable bus companies. The total journey should take around 5 hours with connections and will cover about 900 miles. Always check the latest travel schedules and book in advance to secure the best prices. Ensure your travel dates align with any local holidays to avoid overcrowding on public transport.
