I haven't done it since 2001. There was a free bus then, not sure now. I can't remember how long it took, but I'd allow an hour, in addition to regular check-in time. Note that internal flights in SthAm are 20kg limit, not the 2 x 32kg from the US. If you have it all on the one ticket you should be able to take 2 x 32 on the internal, but not if it's a separate ticket, or you break the journey overnight.
