Answer 2

There are 2 roads you can use.

Rio - Sao Paulo, then Sao Paulo Santos, around 6 hours.

Or Rio - Santos - a poorly kept version of the highway 1 in California, the sights are very nice and you pass some nice cities (Angra, Paraty) and some very nice beaches (Maresias)...

but takes a lot more time.

I did it once, and it was a holiday so it was crowded, took me 10 hours.

You cant go very fast, lots of dangerous turns and poorly signed, but its beautiful.

Answer 3

It is 497 kilometers, but there's 5 tolls (R$ 41,50 - US$ 21,85) You drive by BR 116 Dutra.

Answer 4

If it is rainy season (summer) it could take you days as the road often has mudslides and parts of it sometimes wash away down the montain side! Can be a very dangerous road to drive on as despite the many curves most Brazilians drive like maniacs and pass on curves, drive without licenses, drink and drive, drive cars that shouldn't be on the road, and drive/pass on the right as well as on the left, sometimes you'll find yourself being passed by two cars simultaneously on each side then have to slam on the brakes as they duke it out ahead of you because there's another car passing on the opposite direction and there's only 2 lanes (that means 4 cars fighting for space at 120 kms p/hr). It's happened to me several times, so I know what I'm talking about.
