I want to go to Brasilia by land, does anyone knows a transport companie?? I know that its a long trip, 16 hours! but i want to travel by bus, so please help me!!! :)
just go to the sao paulo train station and look for the post that says "brasilia" and buy a ticket. boy are you in for a long ride! you may have to wait a couple of hours before departure but they do crazy stuff along the way like stop to wash the back window, and of course, that takes about 45 minutes. but at least it's comfortable. i am thinking it will take longer than 16 hours but i have never ridden that route.

You should look at flights on WebJet. Some times their flights are cheaper than the bus. For October and November, I see fares starting at R$75. For mid-December, as high season starts, fares are starting at R$139 one way. Also, learn to use the ANTT (main Brazilian bus) website. Here's a page with a link and directions for use: backpackingbrazil.com/?q=nod... I see the bus companies REAL EXPRESSO LTDA and RAPIDO FEDERAL VIACAO LTDA. do the route, with one bus a day (about R$109 one way). It's over 1000 km (probably more like 20 hours, through IMO not very interesting scenery ---- and you wouldn't catch me doing that trip for anything, esp. with airfare the price it is).

As the others said it would be mush better you go by plane, because you are going on a low season time, but if you still want to do by bus you should know that the INT'L AIRPORT GRU you will find a a purchase desk so you can buy your bus ticket to the Rodoviária do Tiete (where the buses parture to Brazilia). In this site you will find informations on departure times and arrival times in Brazilia and how many stops each bus has. emsampa.com.br/busjan/df_128... - you will find one called "leito" this one is a very good bus that the chairs realy go back, so you can sleep the wrole trip. I don't know you travel dates but I checked the airplanes rates and if you book in advance you will always get better rates. In www.voegol.com.br you will find fees for R$164,00 leaving 7:00 a.m. in the morning and arriving Brasilia at 8:40 (this will be around US$95,00) if you plane arrives on top of that time the next flight will cost RS$229 (US$131) and your way back to S.P. Int'l airport GRU will cost almost the same thing, not more. If you need further information please let me know. byby

Besides all that have already been written above, the voyage is dull, there's not much of interesting landscape to see, the buses are, at best, fair, and you can find air ticket rates very close to those of the buses.
