Recommendation
For a combination of comfort and efficiency, I recommend taking a flight from São Paulo to Recife and then a bus to Orobo. You can catch a morning flight with LATAM Airlines, landing in Recife around noon, then pick up a bus with Expresso Guanabaraba that will take you directly to Orobo. This will allow you to cover the longest distance in the shortest time while enjoying the scenic route along the coast during the bus ride.
