Is a holiday rental in Fortaleza worth it?

Fortaleza is the capital of the state of Ceara in northeastern Brazil and the fifth largest city in the country. The metropolis on the Atlantic is famous for its endless beaches, vibrant Forro music scene, and as a starting point for some of the most spectacular coastal landscapes in South America.

Praia do Futuro is Fortaleza's most popular city beach: kilometers of white sand, turquoise water, and the typical Barracas (beach huts) with live music, fresh crabs, and ice-cold beer. On Thursdays, Praia do Futuro turns into an open-air festival with Forro music.

The beach of Jericoacoara (Jeri), about 300 km west of Fortaleza, is regularly ranked among the most beautiful beaches in the world: a remote fishing village with sand dunes, windsurfing lagoons, and magical sunsets from the Duna do Por do Sol. Jeri is only accessible via sandy tracks, preserving its charm.

Canoa Quebrada, 160 km southeast, impresses with dramatic red sandstone cliffs overlooking a vast beach. The landmark — a crescent moon with a star carved into the cliffs — dates back to French hippies in the 1970s.

Fortaleza is a center of Forro, the northeastern Brazilian couple's dance: at Pirata Bar and other clubs, people dance every Monday until dawn to accordion, zabumba, and triangle. The craft markets (especially Mercado Central and Feira da Beira Mar) offer top-quality hammocks, leather goods, and Cachaca from Ceara.
