Recommendation
For a balance of cost and time, I recommend taking the bus via Viação Águia Branca. Although it takes longer, it's an economical choice and allows you to see the beautiful Brazilian countryside. If time is of the essence, opt for a flight with LATAM or Azul. Regardless of your choice, enjoy the journey!
