Travel Blogs from Fortaleza, Brazil
night of the living foot beasts
This is a top pick! ... the last week or so. Mentally, I would be quick to admit that I am not challenging myself much here in Brazil. After six months I have finally grasped Brazilian Portuguese well enough to have decent conversations, even with those with the fewest of ...
WIll our bums ever forgive us?
This is a top pick! Today up early again for our 7.30 bus to Fortaleza. First off were in a plastic seated bus along the beach and dunes down the coast via Prea (a lovely fishing village with nice beach). It was quite bumpy and on several occasions we jumped at least a ...
The Amazon
This is a top pick! From Cusco, we changed our environment and booked a trip to the Manu Reserve in the Primary Rain Forest of the Amazon jungle. Primary meaning it had never been cleared, logged or drilled for oil and reserve meaning it was protected. This ...
DON´T BE A FORTALEZA PLAYBOY
This is a top pick! ... he would probably forget about writing, go find a cool place, and lay down. Sounds good to this playboy! Ciao, Fortaleza friends! Yeah. Modern Oddyseus (not a playboy, I swear!) Much thanks to JoAnna´s mom, JoAnna, and Emilio; ...
Comedy - lost in translation
This is a top pick! ... there is nothing like the discomfit of being the only person not laughing - especially when you are front and centre. I arrived in Fortaleza and instantly liked the city, although this is not the opinion of others that I have since spoken to. When I ...
GRADUATION IN BRAZIL
This is a top pick! ... everyone walking across the stage. There's no need to worry, though; I had a party of my own to go to. My Fortaleza "Despedidia," or going-away party, was the other night, attended by a group of my and Luciana's friends: Short-haired ...
Cruzando a fronteira Peruana
Assis Brasil é o ponto de acesso a fronteira Peruana. O acesso por ônibus até Assis é um pouco mais complicado - pouco transporte e pessoas em pé no corredor. Há de se programar com antecedência, senão se perde um bom tempo. A cidade é pequena e ...
Pimenta Bueno
Ponto de acesso ao Vale do Apertado, pois local para os mais aventureiros. Infelizmente, dos 6 guias que conhecíamos 6 estavam com problema na van, doentes, indo a funerais ou casamentos. Sozinhos, não valeria a pena. Acabamos conhecendo os arredores e ...
Fortaleza
A cidade mais grande perta era Fortaleza, um destino imprescindivel em o meu viagem. Ja planei de ir la e tinha marcado um encontro com uma moça de Hospitality Club: Daniele. Ela me recibio legal, a seu familia tambem ! Descansei do meu viagem em esta ...
finally hit ocean!
... this guy i met who was heading directly to fortaleza, and assured me that we would arrive here in 3 hours. 9 hours later i arrived to fortaleza. his car broke down near this small town, and we had to wait til they fixed it and now im finally here with an ...
Brazilian beaches
We will post trip information here as soon as it starts. For 2010, we will continue planning the project and look for Sponsors that are willing to invest and support the Project. All indications in that regard is highly appreciated. Please contact us by ...
Learning to kiteboard in Jeri
... in over the past week!) I also had a funny experience meeting these 2 Brazilian guys who are travelling the entire coast of Brazil by windsurfing. They started almost a year ago down on the border of Uruguay and think they will be finished in 2 more ...
WATER PARK FUN AND DUNE BUGGYING
... plus side of this mistake was that we did not have to sit around Receife airport for four hours. We arrived at Fortaleza and found a taxi large enough to accommodate our luggage. All the taxi drivers say 'yes' but then spend twenty minutes ...
Castanha e Seringueiros
Xingu: a terra de Chico Mendes e também das castanheiras. A castanha do Pará saia para o exterior do porto de Belém e por isso leva o nome, mas é de Xingu. Hoje a castanha é pouco plantada - não tem grande mercado. A cidade tem um bom turismo ...
Dune Buggy!
... after an overnight bus ride. Now we are tired, slightly broken (especially my fat feet) and waiting for our plane tonight at 8 pm. Fortaleza seems past its prime, and its a little cloudy- but we will be moving along soon enough! Went to a contemporary art ...
Brazil´s North Coast
The next morning I am talking with the same check in guy who says that to go to the beaches that are 20 km or more away that I should take the cab, not the bus. There must be a presumption that since I don't speak Portuguese that I must be dumb. I also ...
Finally, I have reached Fortaleza just in time!
I arrived in Fortaleza, Brazil´s fifth largest city, around 1pm and went straight to my hostel on Iracema beach. I had heard that the town was not very attractive and a bit dangerous--it is famous for the beaches surrounding it, not the city itself--and ...
Beleza
... a 2 day trip to these towns called Paracuru, and Taiba. they are both small beach/fishing towns about an hour or so from fortaleza. marcelo family owns a house in Paracuru so we went and stayed at this most incredible little house. as any other typical ...
A day of rest
After our 24hr bus ride, we finally arrived in Fortalezza. It is one of the favorite beach towns of Brazilians. We found a nice pousada (hotel) and finally could sleep in a real bed. Next day we walked along the beach, dipped our toes in the water, took ...
Day 220 - Jericoacoara to Fortaleza
... , the location and neither of us fancied wandering around in the dark with all our gear on looking for somewhere to stay. Fortaleza seems fairly safe, but sometimes you don't want to push your luck... After checking-in to the hostel we headed back ...
Day 216 - Cuiaba to Fortaleza
... , so we ended up having had to buy one ticket to Brasilia with TAM and another separate ticket from Brasilia to Fortaleza with GO! We'd considered risking a much tighter one hour connection in Brasilia, but decided against it because Brazilian flights ...
Fortaleza
... like something out of a comedy sketch - the waiter just did not get it! We also took the opportunity of being in Fortaleza, which is a well-known centre of textile manufacturing to puchase ourt hammocks for our trip down the river Amazon, the cheapest we ...
classes
... After the lecture on gangs several of us decided to stay and watch City of God which is a movie (documentary?) on the gangs in Brazil. (our next port) It was an amazing movie and I highly recommend it. It does however contain a lot of graphic scenes and ...
They should call it Shortaleza
... breakfast for the first time, go me. Start my long walk to Centro which is where the city sprawled from. Fortaleza is named after a fort, but they should rename it Shortaleza after all the midget-esq peeps around here. I walk ...
Beach break
I only stayed a night here, but I still managed to meet two really nice people in that short space of time. My chest still hurts and Rene, one of those people and a German doctor, thinks it might be a broken rib ...
Fortaleza, a paradise undiscovered!!!
... Im from africa. They say its because I speak some portuguess and in Angola (Africa) they speak portugues and its very close to fortaleza. My chica from Peru arrived here last week to join me on my journeys. She was in Iquitos Peru for a while taking care ...
Merker becomes lame on a Sat night
... even though it was only $1R. He gave me 14 coins totaling $1.45, sweet. I stand out pretty bad in Fortaleza. I get stared at quite a bit walking along the beach as I would estimate 99% of the people here are Brazilians and ...
Fortaleza
With more time today, I look for a recommended nearby pousada. It seems to have been converted. I get approached by a guy who wants to show me some local ones. First one is a total dump but the second is fine. It is 35 reais. The night before I spent ...
