Recommendation
For a balance of comfort, speed, and cost-efficiency, I recommend taking a flight from Cuiabá to São Luís (the nearest major airport to Bom Jardim) with a changeover to a local airline for the final segment to Bom Jardim. This option provides a significant reduction in travel time compared to bus or car. Always check for the latest flight schedules and book in advance for the best prices.
