The beaches and the landscape was great !!!! Just great. Of course, the total journey time was a bit long at around 4 hours. But from Fortaleza the sights are about 160 km away. Attention: The driver cannot be expected to speak in English / German. The passengers may not (Brazil!). So as a German you should be able to use the sign language or a little Portuguese.

Pick up on time at the hotel. Friendly staff. The beaches are really amazing! Morro Branco is stunning! A lot of hidden costs but you can easily avoid them. And the tours are still beautiful!! Very long trip so sleep well the day before. But it’s worth it a lot!!

Extraordinary Tour, the guide Cicinho is a unique guide and takes us with fun and gives us great directions, the Buggy guy was surreal too. highly recommended
