Recommendation
For a blend of efficiency and cost, I recommend taking a flight from Rio de Janeiro to Salvador, and then a connecting domestic flight or a bus to Milagres. While the bus option is considerably cheaper, the longer travel time may not be ideal if you have limited time. Flights, though more expensive, can significantly cut your travel duration.
