Fortaleza Panoramic City Tour and Cumbuco Beach Escape

The tour begins with the wind off the Atlantic pushing through the coach windows as Fortaleza’s coastline unfurls—statues, boardwalks and the rhythmic pulse of beach life sliding past. Guides point out the bronze silhouette of Iracema, a literary figure that locals still joke about as if she might lift her head and walk into the surf. The bus eases through Praia do Futuro, where thatched barracas spill music onto the sand, then threads through Aldeota’s wide avenues and past the floating mausoleum of Castelo Branco, a concrete shape that looks as if gravity took a day off.
