In August I need to travel to #RioGrande, a small #habour city in northern #Brazil, it is in #RioGrandeDoSul close to Uruguay.

I wonder about 2 things.

1. What is the best way to travel there? I assume some star alliance flight from central Europe to Portugal and then to Brazil. But then which airport in Rio Grande Do Sul?
2. How do I get from the airport to Rio Grande? My options are taxi/chauffeur or rental car, I assume prebooked taxi is the safer option, but is it safe to drive myself by car? (Not meaning the traffic itself.)

I drove in many countries and am very well aware of chaotic traffic around the world. My driving skills were formed in China, Europe, Africa and lately in Thailand, so I guess Brazil will be no problem traffic wise.

Any inside on this area of Brazil is welcome too!
