Our tours feature a full-blown beach resort, 22 km up the coast from Fortaleza, is one of the most modern in Brazil, with facilities such as ultralights, surfboards, and buggies. It also has an Aqua Park, which features a huge swimming pool complex with the highest water-toboggan run in Brazil (24 meters and speeds up to 80 km/h).
On the beaches, visitors can see typical "jangadeiros" (fishermen) who take to the sea in their rugged "jangadas" (crude sailing rafts traditionally used for fishing in the region).
The jangadeiro's daily struggle against the wind and waves is one of the most fascinating adventures in the northeast. On the shore, their wives patiently produce the delicate lace and embroidery for which Ceará's artisans are famous.
There are many other sights in the city as well, including the José de Alencar Theater, built in an art nouveau style.
The Ubajara National Park's 1,393 acres are only a few hours from Fortaleza, on the border between the States of Ceará and Piauí.
