Useful tips for plane travellers

• Arrive at São Paulo Viracopos Airport (VCP) at least 1.5 to 2 hours before your flight to Rio, as security lines may be longer than expected due to the popularity of the route and the number of travelers heading to Rio de Janeiro.

• Upon arriving at Santos Dumont Airport (SDU), be prepared for limited English signage; however, the airport is compact, and following the crowd toward the baggage claim will expedite your exit.

• Expect taxi fares from Santos Dumont Airport to downtown Rio de Janeiro to range from R$40 to R$70, depending on traffic, but consider using apps like Uber for convenience and potentially better rates.

Useful tips for bus travellers

• Consider booking your bus ticket in advance through the Viação Cometa website or check other operators like Expresso São Miguel for alternative schedules, ensuring a smooth experience for your direct 9-hour journey.

• Pack snacks and drinks for the trip, as while the bus may make stops, options can be limited; you can also check out local delicacies in Poços de Caldas before departure, like the famous mineral water products.

• Upon arrival at the Rio de Janeiro bus station (Rodoviária do Rio), utilize the station's information desk to get maps and advice on public transport to your final destination, as navigating the city can be overwhelming for first-time visitors; be sure to look for the BRT station conveniently located adjacent to the terminal.
