Brazil

Brazil is well-connected globally with direct flights available from major international airports. São Paulo (Guarulhos International Airport) and Rio de Janeiro (Galeão International Airport) are the busiest entry points, offering direct flights from cities in the U.S., Europe, and neighboring countries. Popular airlines like LATAM, American Airlines, and Air France operate regular international services. Upon arrival, domestic flights can take you to other cities like Brasília, Salvador, and Manaus, making it easy to explore the country.

Brazil's train network is limited for long-distance travel, with most trains serving local and regional routes. The train journey between São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro offers scenic views but is not the most common mode of transport. For a more unique experience, consider exploring historic routes like the Estrada de Ferro in the mountainous regions of Minas Gerais or the Amazon Rainforest on specially organized river-train services.

Traveling by road is popular within Brazil, especially between neighboring cities and regions. The country has a large network of highways, and long-distance buses are widely available and affordable for travelers. Routes like São Paulo to Rio de Janeiro or Salvador to Recife are well-served, and renting a car offers freedom for exploring more remote areas, including the scenic coastal routes. However, it’s important to plan for safety and ensure your vehicle is in good condition, especially when venturing into the Amazon or remote areas.
