yep it is a long stretch by Bus on the Road, but of course you can fly into P.A. and have connection by car or Bus. Renting a Car or 4X4 won't break your Bank Account. all mayor Rentelcars are situated at the Airport in P.A.
Mayor Creditcards are accepted and Travelercheques are very welcome.
a little portugues or spanish takes you long way. or just polish of your german..many people speak in this part of Brazil.
When one is already travelling Uruguay or Argentina, take a sidetrip to Rio Grande do Sul..it is worthwhile!! |  | |

This page only goes to show me how much I missed during our short 2-week trip to South America! As you say, it is amazing how those first European settlers managed to 'tame' the land! Great photos and tips Waltraud! | keeweechic Tue Oct 12, 2004 04:15 UTC
