It is better to either avoid traveling so soon after Caesarean or go by Air. I am sure a distance of 500 km must be having some Airlines connection.
At least you can reduce the road journey to a large extent.

Preferably avoid travel till 6 weeks of delivery when mother and baby both will be stronger to withstand journey unless urgent , keeping legs static for long durations can increase risk of thrombosis ( clotting of blood) in legs and she will have pain at her caesarean site , Botha re at increased risk of getting infections also and the doctor who operated will not be available for consult if you are away … so meet them consult and then plan journey
