Overall Recommendation

For a more efficient and time-saving journey, I recommend taking the flight from Itanhaém to São Paulo and then connecting with a domestic flight to an airport closer to São Paulo de Olivença, or flying towards Manaus and then taking a local flight to reach São Paulo de Olivença. However, if you are up for an adventure, combining a bus and boat journey can also provide a unique experience of Brazil's landscapes.
