once at
castelo, bus lines
2343,
322,
324,
328,
and
329 reach the various beaches in about 30 to 50 minutes,
depending on time of day and traffic conditions - and
all of the above bus lines route along
praia do galeão.
due to safety concerns,
we recommend
going to
ilha do governador's beaches
via taxi,
and/or only accompanied by a
professional guide
or someone familiar with the area - a
taxi
ride costs about br$70
from rio's
zona sul, each way.
