Program details

Explore the history and beauty of Brazil's fifth largest city, Fortaleza. Historically a small village colonized by the Portuguese, it officially became a city in 1726. Situated along the northern coast of the country, you're invited to see the sights the city has to offer, both old and new, on a two hour guided tour.



Along your tour, you'll experience the full spectrum of Fortaleza. You'll remark at the juxtaposition of times past and present. Take this opportunity to relish in the diversity and splendor of the city's well maintained historical buildings. Tour through the older districts of the city where you will be awed by the towering architecture of the Metropolitan Cathedral.



Continuing with the past, enjoy touring both Martyr's Square and the Center of Tourism. Contrast these older colonial sights with newer, modern structures as you tour the truly bright and unique President Castelo Branco Mausoleum and the sleek and intriguing Statue of Iracema. After getting a taste for the duality present throughout the city, visit the coastline and get a feel for the natural bounty Fortaleza has to offer. Take in the sun and surf of the famed beach of 'Praia do Futuro' and shop the crafts fair along the Beach of Meireles, which also shelters the Rafts Harbour of Mucuripe, a sight in and of itself. A myriad of styles lends to the appeal of Fortaleza.



As you tour the enriching city of Fortaleza, you'll come to the realization that with so much on offer, the city clearly provides a little something for everyone.
