UP AND DOWN: (clockwise from above) Fortaleza
is a large city in it's own right and has a mix of old and new buildings and of course a beautiful Brazilian beach. Red snapper is a specialty and it does not get much fresher than this.
EXPLORE THE REGION
Brazil is a huge country – in size and personality. From the vast desert sands
of Lençois Maranhenses to the largest rainforest on the planet – the Amazon – you’ll never be able to see it all in one go. But if you’re lucky enough to be staying in Fortaleza, you’re well positioned to enjoy the many delights the state of Ceará has to offer. It’s not called the “sunshine state” for nothing!
About two-and-a-half hours from the city (approx. 175km) is the “pearl of Ceará”, the fishing village of Canoa Quebrada. Its stunning landscapes are reason enough
to visit – think red cliffs and turquoise water – but there’s no shortage of activities whatever your tastes. Thrill-seekers can take dune buggy tours over the sand dunes or head below sea level on a dive, while those after something more relaxing can head out on a jangada or enjoy a horse ride along the sand.
Tours of Canoa Quebrada will usually
also include a trip to Morro Branco, but this natural wonder makes a spectacular destination on its own. Sea cliffs stretch outwards to the sea, creating a maze of colour you won’t believe is real until you see it. Sunset views are truly mesmerising, and if you’re looking for a Brazilian beauty spot in which to propose, this is it.
All in all, Brazil won’t fail to disappoint. So pack your sombrero, sunnies, sunscreen and samba shoes and see how hard you fall for the world’s most passionate country. EV
