Air and Road Combination
- Companies: Azul Airlines, LATAM Airlines for air travel; Local rental car companies for road travel once reaching closest airport
- Duration: Approximately 18 hours total (including travel time to and from airports and layovers)
- Distance: Around 4,000 km
- Costs: Approximately £500 for flights and £50 per day for car rental plus fuel costs
- Roads/Routes: Main routes include BR-280 and SC-477 from Joinville Airport to Major Vieira
Pro Tip: Consider flying into Joinville Airport (JOI) as it often offers cheaper flights than other nearby airports. Renting a car allows flexibility to explore the scenic rural routes in Santa Catarina.
For a reliable and albeit more costly option, fly from Manaus Eduardo Gomes International Airport (closest major airport to Urucurituba) to Joinville, SC, with possible layovers in Sao Paulo or Campinas. Then, rent a car to drive the remaining 220 km to Major Vieira. This combination not only provides efficiency but also a chance to enjoy a scenic drive in the South of Brazil.
