Recommendation
If you're looking for a quick and efficient option, flying is recommended, especially if time is a factor. The flight duration is much shorter compared to bus travel, although prices can vary significantly based on how early you book. The bus, however, is a more scenic and economical method, providing an opportunity to see the beautiful Brazilian landscape along BR-116 and BR-040. For a comfortable journey, especially on a bus, do consider travelling overnight.
