Comprehensive Recommendation
If you prefer a quicker and less exhausting option, I recommend flying with either LATAM or Azul. The total journey lasts around 7 hours and will save you time and fatigue, especially considering the long road distance. Book your tickets in advance to get the best deals. However, if you enjoy scenic routes and the freedom of travel, consider the road trip, which although long, allows for exploration of small towns along the way.
