Recommendation
For a blend of comfort and speed, I recommend taking a flight from Rio das Ostras to Fortaleza, followed by a bus trip to Alcântaras. This will help you avoid the lengthy bus ride while still allowing you to enjoy beautiful Brazilian landscapes via the bus. Book your air tickets early and enjoy the scenic bus route along the coastline of East Brazil.
