4/23 Brasilia
4/25 Salvador
4/26 Recife
4/28 Recife
then they might be leaving on Tuesday. If they had one less stop then they could have left today or be leaving tomorrow. If they went to Iguassu Falls and then to Paraguay and Bolivia, then they are long gone from Brazil. We just don't know at this point.

If they end up in Recife the teams could fly to the Cape Verde Islands via TACV (The Cape Verde national airline) with direct flights to Praia (RAI). That would add some new locations to the TAR scheme of things.
apskip:
Not that I consider it important, but the information that I have about TACV is that it makes the below flights to either Sal or Santiago isalnds. Fortaleza is shown for 3 tiems per week service to santiago and one to Sal, but Recife in not listed at all. Dakar has daily service and you can connect in from Guinea Bissau, but as pointed out previously who would want to? You can backtrack over a thousand miles from several European capital cities; again, who would want to? The most interesting possiblity is a once a week flight in from Las Palmas, Grand Canary Island. Here are all TACV flights in:

Won't help TAR, but TACV service between RAI and Recife won't start until September 2008. But they do fly twice weekly to Fortaleza.
gingerman28:
It is quite easy to get from Sao Paulo(GRU) to Salvador de Bahia (SSA) with 8 non-stop daily and 2 one stop in Rio daily on TAM (The domestic Brazilian Airline). Non-stop departing times and arrival times:
DEPART ARRIVE
08.30 10.55
10:35 12.55
13.30 15.50
16.00 18.25
19.15 21.30
19.35 22.00
22.30 00.55
23.59 02.20
If the picture on the tower climb was taken on Apr.24 at 11:35AM, the teams could have taken the 08.30 flight after spending the day (Apr. 23) and evening in Sao Paulo (or thereabouts). So the end of the first leg could have ended in the late afternoon; then a 12-hour pit stop; and teams leaving April 24 between 4:00AM and 7:00AM to catch the 08.30 flight to SSA.
