One of the most impressing characteristics of Brazil is the sheer size of the country, which inevitably presents a challenge to any travel plan. Most tourists will arrive by plane in one of the international airports, the most important ones situtated in Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo. And obviously air travel is also a convenient and fast way to bridge the vast distances within Brazil.
However, as an alternative option that is often overlooked, we present here information on the well-developed brazilian bus network that hopefully will prove useful for tourists not yet familiar with overland travel in South America.
Bus travel not only suits lower travel budgets, it is sometimes even the more comfortable option. While taking a night bus and travelling for 20 hours or so may seem threatening at first, the more experienced travellers will agree that the level of comfort in the more luxurious buses often exceeds the expectations of newcomers.
