Fortaleza's beaches, with the sun of the Brazilian state of Ceará shining over them, simply invite partying and leisure: an invitation impossible to refuse!
The capital of Ceará (Nordeste), Fortaleza, is a city with importance on a regional scale and the gateway to sublime beaches and resorts.
My suggestion
Go to Fortaleza on your way to Canoa Quebrada, Jericoacoara, or any of the other resorts in the area, but don't stop there. The city of Fortaleza itself is ugly and there's not a lot to see.

My suggestion
Every Monday evening, the Pirata Bar opens its doors to host the self-proclaimed "second craziest party in the world" , with Brazilian music and entertaining dance styles in a friendly atmosphere – and bean soup for everyone at the end of the night!

Fortaleza is an essential stopover for astay in Brazil if you want to travel to the north of the country.
My suggestion
Don't miss the Arts Center, which often has excellent exhibitions, and the ecological park.
Before even setting foot there, everyone knows Rio de Janeiro its Concorvado, its Sugarloaf. However, nothing will prepare the amazement that will come with each moment. Magic..
Between Itacaré in the north and Canavieras in the south of the State of Bahia, the Cocoa Route is becoming one of the must-see locations for those travelling to Brazil. On the 180km that separate the two cities, visitors will discover large farms where the manufacture of chocolate chips is at the heart of the activity, mangroves and a primary forest, "Mata Atlantica".
The fifth city of Brazil, situated in the north-east of the country, is generally forgotten by tourists. Despite a reputation that is sometimes a little rough, the city which unites large avenues, tall buildings and old colonial buildings, has something to charm you. In the surroundings, the city of Olinda and the beaches of Porto das Galinhas are much more popular among tourists.
Although the reputation of the Rio carnival may have faded, it's not the only city in Brazil that knows how to party. The proof is in Salvador de Bahia, the capital of Nordeste where rumba rings in every street corner.
