The Portuguese were the first non-native settlers of Ceará and, after disputes with the Dutch over Fort Schooneborch, they founded the small village that would officially become Fortaleza de Nossa Senhora da Assunção on April 13, 1726.

Today, Fortaleza is Brazil’s fifth-largest city with a population of over 2.2 million. On this tour, you’ll experience the full spectrum of the city – from the old to the modern.

You’ll see beautifully preserved historic buildings including the Metropolitan Cathedral, Central Market, President Castelo Branco Mausoleum, Martyrs’ Square, Tourism Center, Iracema Statue, Meireles Beach with its famous handicraft fair, Mucuripe’s Raft Harbor, and the popular "Praia do Futuro" beach.
