On this Águas Belas and Barra Nova excursion, you'll hop on a dune buggy to explore Ceará's scenic beaches and savor Fortaleza's natural beauty.
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. This area features enchanting natural pools that emerge during low tide. Águas Belas is the meeting point of the Malcozinhado River and the Atlantic Ocean.
As our journey continues, we'll visit local weavers, integral to Ceará's artistic heritage, where you'll learn about cultural traditions. Next, we'll explore a sugar cane mill to see how panela and various sugar products are made.
We'll cross the river by raft to commence our hour-and-a-half dune buggy tour through Barra Nova. This tour covers 8 kilometers (4.9 miles) of desert beaches before reaching our destination, where we'll enjoy the fresh waters of the lagoon.
After concluding the activities, we'll return to ensure you reach your Fortaleza hotel safely, wrapping up a memorable day spanning approximately 10 hours.
