Recommendation
For a quicker and more comfortable journey, I recommend flying from Ribeirao Preto to Limoeiro do Norte. While it is more expensive than bus travel, the time savings are significant and will allow you to explore your destination sooner. If you're on a tighter budget and have time to spare, the bus is a feasible alternative but prepare for a lengthy travel time.
