Recommended Travel Option
For efficiency and comfort, I recommend traveling by air. Although bus travel is significantly cheaper, the extended travel time and uncomfortable conditions on long-distance journeys can be challenging. The air transport route provides a speedy journey allowing you to enjoy more time at your final destination, Curitiba, and offers competitive pricing if booked early.
