FIRST ORIENTATIONS

From any of these three airports, you should take the bus LIRABUS, which will bring you to the Terminal Rodoviário de Campinas , located downtown Campinas. From there, you must take the appropriate transportation to your campus. If you will be taking courses only at the Limeira or Piracicaba campuses, it is not necessary to travel to the Campinas campus.
