Cumbuco Beach & Sand Dunes with City Tour

The journey, in full

In this tour you are invited to discover the history and uniqueness of the beautiful city of Fortaleza. The Portuguese colonists were the first non-native settlers that after a dispute with Dutchmen at the Fort of Schooneborch, founded a small village that would officially become the city of Fortaleza de Nossa Senhora da Assuno, on April 13, 1726. Today, the city is the fifth largest in Brazil with a population of 2.2 Million. You will experience the full spectrum of the city, from young Fortaleza to old. You will experience first hand the diversity and beauty of the city's well maintained historical buildings including: the Metropolitan Cathedral, Central Market, the President Castelo Branco Mausoleum, the Martyrs Square, the Center of Tourism, the Statue of Iracema, the Beach of Meireles with its famous crafts fair, the beach that shelters the Rafts Harbour of Mucuripe and the famous beach Praia do Futuro. On the Sol Poente Route you will discover a haven of countless natural beauties. 37km east of Fortaleza, in the district of Caucaia, you will find Cumbuco Beach. Originally an ancient fisherman colony, Cumbuco is a beautiful place with a surprising sand dune landscape punctuated only by mini oasis of green coconut trees and sparkling ponds. You'll have all the vacation amenities you need to relax, with classic hotels, bars and restaurants nearby. When you're done relaxing and ready for action, Cumbuco offers: raft rides and exciting dune buggy rides on the moving dunes, or you can take a shot at the local sport, ski-bunda where riders take a speed sled down the giant sand dunes, picking up speed before crashing into the refreshing waters of the pond of Parnamirim.
