Direct lines and connections with the whole country.

The island of Fernando de Noronha is located 369 kilometers from Natal and 533 from Recife. It is sometimes possible to go there by boat (catamaran) but the travel time is long because there is no NGV between Recife or Natal and the archipelago. The most convenient way to get to Fernando de Noronha is by plane. Daily flights are provided by the companies Azul and GOL from the cities of Recife and Natal. It is necessary to book in advance and the prices can be high.

The TIP (Terminal Integrado do Passageiros) combines the rodoviária with the metro terminus, making it easily accessible. Bus journey times between Recife and some of the Nordeste's metropolises and secondary towns are reasonable for those who are sensitive to their carbon footprint.

Salvador: by bus with the Itapemirim company, from 160 to 180 R$ depending on comfort.

Natal: with the Progresso company, R$ 40 and a 5h15 journey

Fortaleza: 4 buses a day with the Guanabara company (13-hour journey, between 160 and 250 R$)

From TIP to downtown: by metro. R$ 4.25.
