Hi everyone

I will be going to Brazil next month and I tried to book online a bus ticket from Rio to Arraial do Cabo but I could not get past the registrating process as I have to fill in some specific Brazilian resident details - it seems that they don't allow a foreigner (I am Belgian living in Belgium) - does anyone know how to book it online? Company is Auto Viaçao 100 - or else I guess I can just turn up at the bus station and buy my ticket there but I'd prefer to do it beforehand.
Thanks for your tips / help !

Welcome to a Brazil and Brazilian ways of doing things.
There is a site that does allow non-Brazilians to book buses, but you will pay more.
Just showing up should be OK (but IMO, during the WC, all bets for "normal" are off).

Thank you. Can you give me the link to that site? Hopefully boarding a Rio-Arraial do Cabo bus will not be affected too much by the world cup! Cheers
