getting to the islands in the canal do bacalhau can take one to two hours each way from rio's zona sul, and we recommend starting the day very early.

the best way would be via taxi, which could be expensive unless divided 4-way - the maximum number of passengers allowed in a regular taxi.

an average taxi ride will be about 80 minutes each way, and could total about 300 reals roundtrip.

while by bus, average travel time is about 120 minutes each way, at a cost of up to 30 reals per person, roundtrip depending on the buses used.   arrow-back      arrow-forward
