Description

We'll start our adventure by promptly picking you up at your hotel in Fortaleza. Our day includes an exciting dune buggy tour of the pristine desert beaches of Ceará, starting at Águas Belas.

After about a two-hour trip, we'll arrive at the beautiful Águas Belas beach, known for its enchanting natural pools that emerge during low tide. Here, you can enjoy a refreshing swim. Águas Belas is where the Malcozinhado River meets the Atlantic Ocean.

Next, we'll visit local weavers to explore Ceará's artisanal heritage. You'll gain insight into the region's cultural traditions and visit a sugar cane mill to see how panela and sugar products are made.
