Recommendation
If you desire a quicker journey, flying from Rio de Janeiro to Salvador and then taking a bus to Coração de Maria is recommended. While ground transportation will take significantly longer, it can provide a scenic view of the Brazilian countryside. Make sure to check for seasonal variations and book your tickets ahead of time to ensure availability and lower prices.
Ultimately, the decision may come down to your budget and how much time you are willing to spend traveling.
