Recommendation
Considering the significant distance and the desire for a quicker journey, taking a flight from Palmas to a nearby major city (such as Natal) followed by a bus to Luis Gomes would be the most efficient option. The savings in time, while managing costs effectively, makes this a favourable choice.
Alternatively, if you prefer a scenic route and don't mind the duration, then travelling entirely by bus can be a great way to see more of the Brazilian countryside, though it will require a longer commitment.
