Bus Travel to and from the Amazon

Miscellaneous

Travelling through Venezuela and the Amazon by bus is a cheap alternative to expensive flights. From Manaus there are regular bus services to Boa Vista, Presidente Figueiredo, Santa Elena, Puerto La Cruz and Caracas.

When travelling to Venezuela, we recommend to purchase the tickets in Manaus only to the border (Santa Elena), and then arrange there for a new ticket to the final destination. By this you avoid the “official” exchange rate to the Bolivar (on the “street” in Santa Elena you get more Bolivares for your USD/EUR/R$).

The Amazing Tours Guide Leonardo (join and contact him in the guides group), owner of the Amazing Tours Agency in Manaus, will be happy to assist you with bus reservation and tickets in Brazil.
