GETTING AROUND
Travel inevitably begins in Brasília. There is an international
airport, and flights connecting with most larger Brazilian cities,
including frequent flights to Goiânia in Goiás and Palmas in
Tocantins. Roads radiate out from these cities to other towns
and states cutting through the harvest land and the stunning
scenery. Pirenópolis, a weekend getaway from Goiânia, is
reached from Brasília via a filigree of small roads and regular
buses. There are daily buses to Cidade de Goiás from Goiânia
via the BR-070. The Chapada dos Veadeiros, which, together
with Pirenópolis, boasts the best ecotourism infrastructure, is
reached from the little towns of São Jorge or Alto Paraíso in
northern Goiás. These are connected to Brasília via the GO-
118. Apart from the main north-south artery, the BR-153, trans-
portation in Tocantins is difficult. Ilha do Bananal in the west
and Jalapão in the east are remote and best visited on tours.
