Transportation

Upon arriving at Guarulhos International Airport (GRU), the best way for you to get to the hotel (or into the city) is via taxi: try to use the blue-and-white radio taxis from the airport. These taxis provide a flat rate from the Airport to the city (approximately from R$ 70,00 to R$ 100,00). They are reliable and safe, unlike some other regular taxis. Taxis in the city are usually completely white (no stripes) with red plates and they are metered, with drives beginning at R$ 4,00 and costing R$ 1,20 per Kilometer. Regardless of what cab one takes, the ride to the city should take about 30 to 50 minutes from the International Airport, depending on the traffic. Avoid flight schedules during 17:00 to 20:00, when you will get the worst traffic.

During the symposium there will be a professional van service from the hotel to the university in the morning and returning late afternoon.
