Taking the bus can be a scenic and cost-effective option, but ensure to book in advance and check the schedules for connections, as they can be limited in rural areas.

Recommendation

If you are short on time and prefer convenience, I recommend taking a domestic flight, as it significantly reduces travel time and offers comfort compared to ground travel. If you are looking for a cost-effective option and have more time to spare, the bus route can provide a unique experience of Brazilian landscapes.
