Buggy Through Three Beaches In ONE Day At Ceará, Brazil

The North-Eastern Brazil at Ceará offers the country most spectacular beaches! When I was visiting my dear buddy, Gustavo Arruda in Fortaleza, Brazil, I took a day trip to visit this awesome and stunning beaches I ever been to:

Visit THREE beaches in ONE day at Ceará, Brazil!

• Morro Branco
• Praia das Fontes
• Canoa Quebrada

 

My guide picked me up from the city of Fortaleza, Brazil, and we drove through the outskirts via the countryside filled with palm trees, reddish rocks, tiny stucco buildings and beautiful sky.

As it was a long drive, I stop by at one of the little village for some cute little sourvenir galleria. Famous for it’s hand crafted artworks and is a perfect combination between rustic beauty and sophistication. It wasn’t a long journey drive after I arrived in the first stunning stop at Morro Branco beach.

Morro Branco Beach

Morro Branco is one of Ceara’s natural wonders. It was a beautiful day where sufers were out in the water, and I toured around the place with beautiful lighthouse and quaint little church.

 

 

 

 

There was a sandy trail from the top and lead down to the beach via a small little canyon!  (Reminds me of Grand Canyon) Along the trail, you may spot some cactus plants that doesn’t seems to be the same back home. The beautiful red rocks have an awesome contrast of colours against the dark blue ocean and clear blue sky.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The end of the trail is the beach where dune buggies were waiting to take me to the next leg of adventures! 🙂

 

 

 

The buddy ride was AMAZINGLY fun! It was traveling at remarkably speed along the white beautiful sandy beach! Whizzing along the edge of the Atlantic ocean, clear beautiful sky and cool ocean breeze you through a spectacular beach experience!

 

 

Praia das Fontes Beach

It was like a magical ride and I arrived the magical wonders of Praia das Fonte shortly after, the home of the beautiful cliffs, caverns and waterfalls. I stop by in one of the cavern to take photo, as I wasn’t using a waterproof camera that time in Brazil, I didn’t snap a photo of the waterfall in the cavern! Damn! Anyway, some photos of the entrance to the cavern! haha

 

 

 

Leaving the beautiful beach, I rode up into the hills, dunes, and past by many gigantic wind turbines. I can’t expressed how beautiful it was… the scene of the white big turbines matches the dark blue beautiful sky was AMAZING! I was told it’s a common feature along breeze Ceará coastline!

 

After seeing all the beautiful coast and wind turbines sort of reminded me that I was hungry… So, the buddy stop by at a small cute little lagoon for lunch. YAY! You could relax and swim in the lagoon while enjoying cold beverages and hot food with nice tropical weather! 🙂

 

 

 

 

 

 

After relaxing in a stunning secluded lagoon, I proceeded to the next breathtaking beach – The Canoa Quebrada beach!

 

 

Canoa Quebrada Beach

Canoa Quebrada is a hippy paradise I would say, in a enchanting village, situated on a red rocky cliff over-looking at the Atlantic ocean!

 

 

 

Canoa has a history of hippies community, a place where active people in Brazil’s subculture sought refuge from years of military dictatorship. The town has a main stretch of restaurants and shops. Due to the of language barrier, ordering vegetarian food was quite disastrous for me! Thankfully, a kind soul who speaks a little English assisted me through the tough food ordering process! haha Ended up, I had some fries but it was alright… because the Canoa Quebrada restaurant served really good tasty fries! Yum! 🙂

 

 

 

 

Along the cliffs, there were many surfers and kite surfers floating over the edge of the cliff and ocean. It was really a very chillax place and I truly enjoyed the slow moving pace and serenity of Canoa Quebrada.

 

 

 

I heard from the locals that this area is very well-known shooting locations for several Brazilian’s movie and drama productions. I was simply mesmerised by the stunning Brazilian scenery.

Skibunda (Sandboarding)

After a short chillax at the beach and restaurant, the buddy ride took me to the western part of Canoa Quebrada, where there were small fresh water ponds and lagoon. You can’t simply end the day without trying out Skibunda in Brazil!

 

 

 

 

Skibunda is one of a popular recreational activity among tourists! A place where you can slide down on a wooden plank slide ride from the top of the dunes (approx 100 meters high) and splash into the cold fresh waters in the beautiful lagoon!

 

 

 

 

 

 

The skibunda was amazing, it was very fast and took only few seconds straight into the cold fresh water! After which, you don’t have to walk back up by yourself. They have a pulley cart ride that can take you back to the top!

 

Oasis

The very last part of the day was the visit to the pond at the Oasis, Canoa Quebrada for some “bathing” and chillax before heading back to Fortaleza. This place is just below the equatorial line, with no winter, cold or bad weather. Bless with beautiful coconut palms, cliffs and lagoons nested between the enormous sand dunes filled with the magnificent blue sky will definitely provide you an unforgettable satisfaction in Brazil! 🙂

 

 

 

 

Perhaps I miss my 5 monsters (4 nephews and niece) at home, I saw this Brazilian boy was such a sweet little one, so I took a photo with him. The funny part was nobody understood me, he and his parent can’t speak English at all… so throughout we were like playing charades and I kept saying “Orbigado” (Thank You).

 

Largest Brown Sugar In The World

Before heading back, I stopped by to see the BIGGEST brown sugar in the world! To be honest, I thought that was kinda random because the biggest brown sugar was in the middle of nowhere, but it was pretty cool for me to see it before ending my awesome day at the Brazilian beaches, of course, with the GREAT taste of brown sugar! 🙂
