In this “City Tour” you, the visitor, are invited to discover the history and uniqueness of the beautiful city of Fortaleza. The Portuguese colonists were the first non-native settlers in Ceará that, in dispute with dutchmen around the Fort of Schooneborch, founded a small village that would officially become the city of Fortaleza de Nossa Senhora da Assunção, on April 13, 1726. Today, the city is the fifth largest in Brazil with a population of 2.2 Million.
You’ll experience the full spectrum of the city, from young Fortaleza to old. You’ll 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 Martyr’s 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.”
At 22km east of Fortaleza on the Sol Nascente Route, hidden among the dunes of the Aquiraz district, you’ll also find the beach of Porto das Dunas, home to one of the internationally recognized top water parks in the world...Beach Park!
This modern oasis combines the fun and beauty of the beach with all the high tech rides of your favorite water park. The compound also hosts a resort hotel, souvenir shops, the Jangada museum, and a structure on the beach roasting flavorful fresh caught crab.
As one of the largest seaside aquatic parks in the world, Aqua Park has something fun for everyone with water slides, waterfalls, an artificial river and two thrilling rides you won’t find anywhere else.
