Recommendation
If you prefer the fastest and most convenient mode of travel for this journey, I recommend taking a flight from São Paulo to Salvador and then a bus or rental car to Jiquirica. This combination will significantly reduce travel time from 26 hours by bus to approximately 4 hours by air. Ensure to check the schedules and book in advance, especially during peak travel seasons.
