• Directions from the airport:
• (by taxi)
• Time: about 30 minutes
• Cost: about 60 reals
• Tell the driver you want to go to Praia Pantano do Sul.
• (by bus)
• Time: about an hour or an hour and a half
• Cost: about 6 reals
• Using the bus system can seem scary, but its easy once you learn how it works. In the meantime, ask the friendly bus drivers and 'cobradors' (the worker who sits close to the front of the bus and collects fares) to help you. Travel like the locals and save money too!
• So. Here we go. When you arrive at the airport, get your bags if you want. Then exit the airport, turn right, and walk about one minute along the sidewalk. You will arrive at the bus stop. Wait here. Get on the the 183 or the 186 (Corredor Sudeste) and pay the fare (2,90 as of now) to the 'cobrador'. Take the bus to the last stop, the local bus terminal (TICEN). After you get TICEN, take the 410 (Rio Tavares). Signs will help you find where the bus is. After you get on the 410, you will pay the 'cobrador' another fare. The last stop will be the Rio Tavares bus terminal. Get off the bus and take the 563 (Costa de Dentro) or 564 (Pantano do Sul). After about 10 minutes, tell the driver to leave you on Praia do Pantano do Sul. After you get off the bus, follow the road about 3 or 4 minutes to the beach. Turn right, walk about one minute, and look for our sign. Congratulations!
