Please, take it into account when buying your flight tickets, mainly on the way back. The departure times can be slightly changed according to the desire of all passengers. For example, if all passengers are ready to departure from the airport before 11h, the bus can leave Guarulhos International Airport (GRU) a bit earlier.

  • Pay for a private transfer. It will cost around R$ 700,00 (this price can be shared with other participants).

Then, take another bus from this bus station to Ubatuba bus station. Finally take a taxi from Ubatuba bus station to Itamambuca Eco Resort. The total cost will be around R$ 150,00.
