Recommendation
For a balance of time and comfort, I recommend taking a flight from Lajeado Novo to Pouso Novo. While bus travel is more cost-effective, the long duration and discomfort can be challenging. If flexibility and adventure appeal to you, renting a car offers the chance to explore southern Brazil along the way. Please consider the seasonal factors and book your travels accordingly!
