For Earth Good bus
services between the most Brazilian cities. Certainly a good way to see
the countryside, but the distances are great. The journey from Rio or
Sao Paulo to Bethlehem is quite interesting, but they are 3 days in a
bus. You are faced with a variety of landscapes and climates, from the
Atlantic Ocean, the coastal plains, mountains and valleys to the
central plateau, with an average of one km in altitude. From there, you
travel towards the north through a serrado giant, to the areas most
drought of sertões, towards the Amazonian forests reaching the city of
Belém do Pará So you can take a flight of an hour's duration to
Santarém or during thês days of travel by boat Amazon River.
By Boat
In Bethlehem or Manaus, boat or aircraft are the only possibilities.
Normally the boat takes 24 hours to cover the same distance in 20
minutes by plane, but has no comparison, the journey by boat is highly
rewarding and unforgettable. Santarém is also visited by some of 26
vessels offering cruises in the Amazon cruise.
