Tutóia is a town in Maranhão, mainly only a stopover between Lençóis Maranhenses and Parnaíba.

• Several daily buses to Parnaíba, last one leaving at 14:45, 3 hours R$14.
• One daily to São Luís.
• 4x4 pick up trucks for Paulino Neves, R$8, 1½ hours. These leave at varying hours, mostly corresponding with buses from Parnaíba, but the only one that seems to be guaranteed leaves at 10:00.
