Fortaleza

Fortaleza has a lot to offer tourists. Its beaches are some of the most beautiful in Brazil, long and expansive, lapped by crystal-clear waters and dotted with palm trees. The city itself is not large but is packed with things to see and do. It is also the gateway to the state of Ceará’s most spectacular attractions: the sand dunes at Parque Natural do Lençóis Maranhenses and the beaches of Jericoacoara and Canoa Quebrada.
