Brigadeiro Lysias Rodrigues Airport, more commonly known as Palmas Airport, is your gateway to the vibrant city of Palmas and the breath-taking natural beauty of the state of Tocantins. Nestled in the heart of Brazil, this destination offers the perfect mix of city life and outdoor adventure.
Numerous car rental services are available directly at the airport, including renowned international companies as well as trusted local providers. Remember to check if your preferred provider accepts debit cards, as some may require a credit card for security purposes.
There are several petrol stations located near the airport, ensuring you can start your adventure fully fuelled. Petrol stations in Brazil operate self-service pumps, a departure from the usual full-service we're used to in the UK.
Tocantins boasts a tropical climate with two main seasons: a dry season from May to September, and a rainy season from October to April. You might want to pack a light waterproof jacket, even in the dry season, as unexpected rain showers can occur.
With Palmas as your base, there are numerous road trips to enjoy that showcase the beauty of Brazil. Some popular options include the scenic drive to the enchanting city of Goiânia, approximately 10 hours drive, or a journey to the awe-inspiring Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park, roughly an 8-hour drive.
Remember that Brazil’s currency is the Real (R$). While credit and debit cards are widely accepted, it’s always a good idea to carry some cash for smaller vendors or in areas where card machines may not be available. It’s best to exchange currency before arriving to get the best rates but there are also currency exchange services available at the airport.
Beyond Palmas, the state of Tocantins is home to a number of charming cities worth exploring including Araguaína, Gurupi and Porto Nacional. These cities offer a blend of rich history, colourful culture, and incredible cuisine.
Armed with these important pieces of information, you're ready to embark on an unforgettable journey exploring the hidden gems of Tocantins from the comfort of your rental car.
