Recommendation
While both air travel and road travel have their own merits, taking a flight with Gol Linhas Aéreas or LATAM Airlines is recommended for a more time-efficient journey. The flight not only reduces travel time significantly but also offers the convenience of avoiding the long drive through various terrains. However, if you prefer the scenic views and a road trip experience with flexibility, consider the road travel option along BR-242. Make sure to prepare for the long drive with appropriate rest stops and refueling stops along the way.
