Fortaleza City tour and Cumbuco Beach
Contemplate the city’s full beauty as you wander through the streets of old quarter flanked by well-maintained historical buildings that date back to the 17th century. Stop at the Metropolitan Cathedral and pop inside to admire the mosaics before heading to the vibrant Central Market. Fortaleza boasts a treasure-trove of remarkable attractions, which are included in your itinerary, such as the President Castelo Branco Mausoleum, the Martyr’s Square and the Statue of Iracema. You will also have the chance to pick up a souvenir at the famous crafts fair located on Meireles Beach, take a look at the peaceful raft harbour of Mucuripe and visit the well-loved Praia do Futuro beach.
Originally the site of an ancient fisherman colony, Cumbuco has a gorgeous landscape dominated by towering sand dunes dotted with swaying coconut trees and sparkling ponds. Sink your toes into the sand, order a cocktail or sample some delicious local cuisine as you relax and soak up the sun.
Canoa Quebrada Beach
Canoa Quebrada offers a true beach paradise, ideal for anyone searching for an unspoilt and beautiful destination right at the edge of the ocean. The tour takes visitors on the route known as Sol Nascente, ending up at the justly-celebrated town of Canoa Quebrada some 156 kilometres away from Fortaleza.
Set among an impressive range of vast cliffs, the beach lies at the heart of small, reef-protected bay that offers blissful swimming in warm, crystalline waters and all the peace and tranquillity needed to escape from the pressures of the modern world.
Morro Branco Beach
Become lost in the labyrinth of intriguing natural rock formations along Morro Branco beach in the beautiful district of Beberibe. About 50 miles from the city of Fortaleza, Morro Branco is one of the most breathtaking sections of the Ceara coast and has been the location for a number of Brasilian film and television productions.
Marvel as you wind your way between the surreal peaks and valleys of rock that stretch the length of the beach. Eroded over time by wind and water, these extraordinary formations display colourful bands of sedimentary rock that can be seen nowhere else in the world. Along with its stunning natural beauty, Morro Branco is world famous for its intricate handmade sand artworks, delicately crafted inside glass containers. Of course no visit to this area would be complete without some serious beach and relaxation time, so don’t forget your swimsuit!
