Transport
You can reach the Northeast from almost any direction. Direct, there are flights to Recife and Salvador from Europe and North America, and frequent buses to the main Northeastern cities from all parts of Brazil. From southern and central Brazil , buses converge upon Salvador. From the Amazon , buses from Belem run to Sao Luis, Teresina, Fortaleza and points east, or further south to Salvador. Getting around the Northeast is straightforward thanks to the region's extensive bus network. However, even the main highways can be a little bumpy at times, and minor roads are often precarious. This is especially true in the rainy season: in Maranhao the rains come in February, in Piaui and Ceara in March, and points east in April, lasting for around three months. These are only general rules, though: Maranhao can be wet even in the dry season, and Salvador's skies are liable to give you a soaking at any time of year.
