Recommendation
For a balance of speed and cost, flying is recommended, particularly if you are short on time. If you have more time and wish to experience the scenic views of Brazil’s interior, the combination of bus and train offers a more immersive journey, albeit at a longer duration. Don’t forget to enjoy the local cuisine on the way!
