the panoramic way would be by taking bus 354 to praça xv + ferry to niterói + bus 38 to itacoatiara, and the most comfortable way, but most time consuming, would be by taking bus line 1001 'castelo x itaipú' from bus terminal mendes directly to itacoatiara beach.

if going by bus, it is important to pay attention and exit the bus rua matias sandri  corner rua dos gerânios as soon as the bus makes a u-turn around a small police kiosk and goes back along the same street it arrived on.
