By bus
Shuttles run daily from 8 am to 5 pm and cost R $ 62,00 (Largo do Machado and Copacabana) or R $ 35,00 (Paineiras). They are robust white vans of the Mercedes brand, modern, ensuring a certain comfort during the journey. Getting there by shuttle is a little less interesting than the train that runs through the thick forest of Tijuca. By shuttle, it is not that one does not cross it, it is because the road being wider than the railway, one has less the side "vegetation" which emerges during the journey.
There is no ticket sales system in advance for buses, you pay directly to the driver, when you get into the vehicle. There is approximately one departure every 10 minutes.
