Brazil

Very few tourist destinations can offer such varied options as Brazil. Its natural beauties, the enormous popular festivities and the countless protected environmental reserves are valuable attractions that astound the foreign tourist when it comes time to choose a vacation destination.

The country’s beautiful beaches and natural wonders call people’s attention. With a coastline that extends more than seven thousand kilometers, Brazil has the privilege of being able to offer several leisure options in this segment.

One of the most remarkable characteristics about the Brazilian is the generous, compassionate spirit, with its good, irreverent humor. When you add this temperament to a country with such an enormous territorial expansion, you come up with

Meet Brazil a land where there is always room for one more.

A land that has received thousands of immigrants searching for a new world with open arms, where they could build or restart their lives and bet on the future.

Brazil is served by most international airlines. There are dozens of daily flights, full of tourists coming from every corner of the world.

Those who most frequently seek out our country for their vacations are the Argentines, the North Americans and the Germans. However, with the expansion in the number of international airlines also operating here, visitors from other countries are also getting interested in visiting us. These include Uruguay, Portugal, France, Italy, and most of our neighboring countries in Latin America.

razil borders with almost every country in South America — except Chile and Ecuador — and covers almost half the continent. It is the fifth largest country in the world, after Russia, Canada, China, and the U.S.A., with an area of eight and a half million square kilometers.

Despite its vast territory, Brazil’s population is concentrated in the major cities of its coast. The urban sprawls of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo dominate the southeastern region. Further North, cities as Salvador and João Pessoa retain the colonial atmosphere created by the early Portuguese settlers. The hinterland, largely covered by the Amazon rainforest, remains sparsely settled.

Ceará, a leading state of the Northeast region, is the subject of this pocket guide. Fortaleza is the state capital and also its largest city.

Travel Tips Visas

8

At immigration, nonBrazilians must have their passport, visa (if required) and any other immigration formalities checked. Brazil has a “reciprocal visa policy,” which means that it requires visas of citizens from countries that require visas of Brazilians.

Americans, Canadians, Australians, and New Zealand citizens all need visas (UK citizens do not), which can be obtained by applying at Brazilian embassies and consulates.

Visas are valid for 90 days before your arrival, then another 90 once you have arrived. If your visa expires while you are here, you can renew it for another 90 days. Vaccines Brazil requires all visitors to be vaccinated for yellow fever.

Currency

The Brazilian currency is the Real. At the time that this content was created (2012), the exchange rate was approximately 2.00 reais to the dollar. Language Portuguese is Brazil’s native language. Water It is recommended that visitors drink bottled water. Business Shops and most offices are open Monday through Friday from 9 am to 6 pm and from 9 am to 1pm on Saturday. Banks are open from Monday to Friday from 10 am to 4 pm. Most shopping centers and malls remain open until 10pm. Many pharmacies and small stores are also open on Sundays. Petrol Stations are allowed to operate 24 hours a day, although not

elections for president, senators, representatives, state governors, mayors and city councils. It is interesting to note that Brazil leads the world in online electronic voting. Air Travel Because of its continental size, the fastest and most effective way of getting around Brazil is by air.

The main national carriers all have an extensive route network, but there is no competition in price. If you are going to travel extensively around Brazil, you should consider buying an airpass prior to arriving in the country.

Like the US, the Brazilian carriers use certain airports as major hubs for serving regions of the country. Visitors are often surprised that in the south east, São Paulo (GRU), rather than Rio de Janeiro (GIG), is the main hub.

Other hubs include Porto Alegre (POA) and Curitiba (CWB) in the south, Brasília (BSB) in the central west, and Salvador (SSA), Recife (REC) and Fortaleza (FOR) in the north east. About the Airpass Visitors who are intending to travel on from their point of entry to explore the rest of Brazil should consider investing in a Brazilian Airpass before arriving in the country.

The Airpass can only be

all of them do so. Time Zones There are four time zones in Brazil. GMT minus 3hr to minus 5hr, dependig on the region. In 1985 Brazil introduced daylight savings time. Brazilian summer time comes into effect in October and ends in early February.

During this period of daylight saving time, Brazil’s clocks go forward one hour in most of the south east. This is when most of the Northern Hemisphere countries are putting their clocks back one hour and coming off summer time. Weather Fortaleza normally has an average temperature of 27º C (80º F). Electricity The electric current in Ceará operates on 220 volts at 50 hertz, which is different from that in cities like São Paulo e Rio de Janeiro, where the voltage is 110 volts, so you must be careful about this. Exchange rate Brazil’s official currency unit is the real (R$). Country code  55 Tipping 10% in restaurants, often included. System of Government Brazil is a multi-party political system that holds democratic

Distances

Distances in Brazil are measured in kilometres.

One mile is equivalent to 1.609 kilometres. For a quick conversion of kilometres into miles, divide by eight and then multiply by five. Food Brazil’s cuisine is the product of tradition.

Each region of Brazil — depending on its indigenous culture, which European group colonized it, distance to rivers or the ocean, annual rain and soil conditions – developed its own very diverse cuisine.

But if there is one dish that typifies Brazilian cooking it is

sold outside of Brazil and to non-residents with a return air ticket. It can be purchased for the flights of Varig, Tam or Gol, each pass only being valid for the flights of the issuing carrier. The price of the Airpass varies, but considering the size of Brazil and the high cost of domestic air travel, it offers excellent value for money. Banking Most of the major banks are Brazilian but many foreign banks will have an agreement with one or more of the major players. Banks operate Monday to Friday between 10am and 4pm.

probably feijoada. It is a complicated bean dish prepared with air-dried beef, smoked sausage, tongue, pig’s ears and tails, garlic, and chilli peppers.

It is customary to fill a plate with white rice and spoon feijoada over the top, covered with farofa (cassava flour) to thicken the sauce. The whole dish is garnished with spring greens and slices of oranges. Drink The legal age to purchase alcoholic beverages in Brazil is 18. Brazil

produces or imports most of the major international brands. Brazilian beer is a very good lager which is served in draught form (chopp) or bottled. The national drink is cachaça, made from crushed sugar cane, which is the basis of the popular caipirinha.

Cachaça is also the basis for batidas, a mix of cachaça and fresh fruit juices. Soft drinks are no less spectacular and the most popular is Guaraná.

Brazil is, of course, the world’s largest coffee producer.

eará has a varied environment, with mangroves, caatinga, scrubland and remnants of a coastal tropical forest. It is hot almost all year round. This environment and temperature attracts many tourists, especially ecotourists. Temperatures in the state range from 22 °C to 36 °C with the lowest temperatures in the innumerous mountain ranges in the state. The endless stretch of beaches in the state is a major tourist attraction. Ceará has several famous beaches such as Canoa Quebrada, Jericoacoara, Morro Branco, Taíba and Flexeiras. The beaches are divided into two groups (in relation to the capital Fortaleza): Sunset Coast (Costa Sol Poente) and Sunrise Coast (Costa Sol Nascente).

With sunshine and hot weather all year, and mild temperature at night, the State of Ceará has a diversified ecosystem made up of areas that include caatinga, Atlantic Forest, savannah and marshland. Following the industrial development, the tourism is the segment that has shown the highest rates of development there in the last decades.

The City of Fortaleza is the most importante town in Ceará state and also its capital city.

History Ceará was first colonized by the Portuguese in the mid-1600s, when the newly-discovered land was hotly contested by the Spanish and the Portuguese.

The area was invaded twice by the Dutch, in 1644 and in 1654.

Both times the settlers repelled them. Before being defeated, however, the Dutch founded what is today Fortaleza. In 1661, the Netherlands formally ceded their Brazilian territories to the Portuguese crown, ending conflict in the region. The French also made some incursions,

especially in the North and Southeast regions during the 17th Century. Pirates of various nationalities also scavenged the coastal areas looking for easy treasures.

The struggle for Brazilian independence was intense in Ceará, with the area being a rebel stronghold that incurred vicious retribution from loyalists.

The region produced some martyrs long before Independence was declared by Peter I, on September 7, 1822.

The State also pioneered the movements for the Abolition of

Slavery in the country, and was the first to free its slaves. It also had a leading role in the political struggle that led to the Proclamation of the Republic.

The reign of Emperor Dom Pedro II (who was declared Emperor still as a child after his father left for Portugal) from the mid — to the late — 1800s was a period of great advances in infrastructure in Ceará, with the number of telephones increasing by a large amount, and with gas lighting becoming almost ubiquitous. Many dams were built to offset the recurrent droughts typical of the region.

Since 1960, the Orós Dam, comparable in size to Egypt’s Aswan Dam, has supplied Ceará with much of its water. In 1995, construction began on the huge Castanhão Dam, which holds 6.5

km³ of water. Ceará had a distinguished role during World War II and contributed to the Allied Victory against the Nazi powers, by allowing the US armed forces to use its air bases as a stepping stone to reach North Africa.

As a land of caboclos, descendants of the miscegenation involving native, black and Portuguese people, the State of Ceará is also one of the largest cultural centers of Brazil, marked by popular religiosity and the presence of its intellectuals in the national literature and art segments. It’s the birthplace of writers, such as José de Alencar, one of the greatest novelists of Brazilian literature “Indianism”; and Rachel de Queiroz, one of the most significant writers of regionalist novels.

Economy Traditionally an agriculture based state, Ceará began expanding its industrial sector in the 1970s. In 2009, industry accounted for 24% of the state’s GDP. Tourism also plays a large role in Ceará’s economy.

The number of tourists visiting the state has been growing consistently.

Main Tourist Attractions Canoa Quebrada and Jericoacoara Beaches.

A visit to the mountain town of Guaramiranga, about 100 km from Fortaleza, is also recommended for those visitors who would enjoy a cooler climate (18-20 degrees Celsius, cooler at night) and good European-style cuisine.

Cuisine and hotels The cearense cuisine is a flavorful mixture of the

Portuguese culinary, which gives preference to fish, with the indigenous foods and the African spices. The hotel network is considered one of the best in the Country. It is also one of the newest.

ortaleza means “Fortress” in Portuguese. The first building in what is today Fortaleza was the Fort Schoonenborch, built in 1649 by the Dutch, who had invaded and were occupying cities in the Brazilian northeast, such as Recife and Natal. After the Dutch were expelled, the city changed name a few times, until settling for Fortaleza.

Two words define the capital of Ceará State: sun and partying.

Fortaleza is the Brazilian coastal city with most sunny days throughout the year. Partying is the permanent state of spirit of the people and the city. Forró, typical musical style of the Northeast, is part of the local culture. One can hear it on the beaches, bars, restaurants, hotels, dance clubs and on the streets of Fortaleza.

If people’s merrymaking and hospitality and the cultural animation are characteristics that make people love Fortaleza at first sight, other elements also contribute to include the city on the required route of the visitor to Brazil’s Northeast. A modern capital, it has become one of the preferred destinations for Brazilian and LatinAmerican visitors due to the combination of a privileged nature with an excellent infrastructure, sophisticated tourist equipment, good reception and services. The government of Ceará is fully aware of the importance of tourism in the local economy, and the State is the one which makes most investments in marketing to attract tourists from Brazil and abroad.

Fortaleza has luxury hotels, resorts, excellent restaurants and bars, diversified commerce and an intense nightlife that ensures visitors the best time. Because of all these factors, each day more and more tourists are walking the seaside promenade on Meireles beach in shorts, slippers and colorful shirts, appreciating the poetic sway of the rafts (called jangadas). The capital of Ceará has one of the largest and best equipped networks of hotels and restaurants in Brazil’s Northeast. The jangada rafts and the lobsters they catch are a trademark of the city. The city has a hot climate and affords a warm reception to visitors, attracted mainly by the beauty of its beaches.

The Beach Park complex, at Porto das Dunas is the largest water park in Brazil, also offering one of the best hotel resorts in Brazil.

Fortaleza is celebrated in verse and prose as the “blonde bride of the sun”. The sea shore, running the length of the city, has a variety of attractions. Iracema beach is a bohemian enclave, with dozens of all-night bars (Pirata being the largest one) located in buildings which still retain a fin-de-siècle look. Its biggest attractions are the Estoril, which houses restaurants and an exhibition gallery, the Ponte dos Ingleses (The Englishmen’s Bridge), one of the best vantage points in town from which to watch the beautiful sunsets, and the Dragão do Mar Cultural Center, one of the most charming and complete cultural centers in Brazil.

The most important urban beaches of Fortaleza are Meireles, Volta da Jurema and Mucuripe, connected to each other by the Avenida Beira-Mar (beach-side boulevard). This three-mile long avenue is lined by modern buildings, including hotels, bars and restaurants which serve local cuisine and delicious sea food dishes. The Statue of Iracema, one of the landmarks of the city, is at Volta da Jurema.

There is also the colony of fishermen at Mucuripe, with their jangadas, and Futuro beach, full of stalls where one can dance the forró.

Another landmark of Fortaleza is Praça do Ferreira, where locals meet to talk about politics and football. Also worth seeing is the José de Alencar Theatre, constructed in the 19th century, whose rich architecture and internal ironwork is a mixture of the neoclassical and art nouveau styles; the Museums of Railway History, the Automobile, Popular Art and Mineralogy; and the Central Market, where you can buy anything from lace embroidery to liqueurs, cachaça and cashew nuts.

Beaches of Fortaleza The city’s shoreline extends for some 25 km. Here are some of the beaches:

Barra do Ceará This beach is located near the mouth of the Ceará River and is surrounded by white sand dunes. The highway leading to the West coast beaches such as Icaraí and Cumbuco crosses the river at this point, where there is a toll-bridge. 

Beira-Mar (Seaside Promenade) The Beira Mar extends for 3 km and is the most densely populated stretch of Fortaleza’s shoreline. This is where the best hotels and most of the tourists are to be found, mixed with dozens of joggers who somehow manage to dodge the crowds.

After sunset, the area becomes a Babel-like bazaar cum open-air circus, where the visitor can find most of the typical handicrafts, while watching the antics of street hawkers advertising their wares and dozens of inventive street artists, who can produce a portrait of the visitor in just a few minutes or stand motionless like a living statue for interminable minutes in the hope of getting a few coins. 

24

Formosa Although improper for bathing, this beach offers a nice view of the Marina Park Hotel and of the Our Lady of the Ascension Fort, the spot of the city’s original settlement. 

Iracema Just 2 km from downtown Fortaleza, Iracema beach has become a meeting point for locals and tourists in search of pleasant surroundings for a drink or a meal or just watching the sunset from the Englishmen’s Bridge (also known as Ponte Metálica). This is the location of Estoril Restaurant, famous for being a favorite hangout for American soldiers stationed in Fortaleza during World War II. This is also the location of Forró do Pirata (the Pirate’s Forró), whose decoration evokes the deck of a pirate’s ship, and which only opens on Mondays. The New York Times has billed the place as the funnest Monday of the Planet.

The name Iracema honors a fictitious Indian girl — a kind of Brazilian Pocahontas 

Mucuripe

This beach starts at the eastern end of the BeiraMar. Mucuripe beach embraces a mini-bay of still waters and a myriad fishing boats used by professional fishermen who live in the vicinity.

There are several booths that sell fresh fish and other fruits of the sea all day long everyday.

It is said that this is the best spot of Fortaleza’s shoreline to watch the sunset. Mucuripe is also a good area to find great seafood restaurants. Praia

do Futuro The beach extends for 6 km from the old section to the mouth of the Coco River. This beach is known for its dozens of thatched-roof kiosks famous for their seafood dishes. With no restrictions for bathing, the beach is dotted with small lagoons at low ebb tide. The atmosphere at the beach is liveliest on Thursday nights, when visitors can taste Fortaleza’s culinary sensation — crabs cooked in coconut milk — while watching shows with well known singers and stand-in comedians.

Warning: You must be

aware of security risks at night.

Praia Mansa This is the location of the Museum of Fortaleza, where the visitor may learn some of the history of the State of Ceará.

From the Mucuripe lighthouse, built in the 18th Century, with a 24-m high belvedere, one can see the new lighthouse tower.

Narrow streets packed with humble houses give the location a small town atmosphere. 

other beaches on the East Coast for its Carnival. Nearly 90 km from Fortaleza, its beaches cover an extension just over 50 km, among them Morro Branco, Praia das Fontes, Uruaú, Barra da Sucatinga, Arióis, Canto Verde, Paraíso and Parajuru. In the high season, over 1,200 tourists a day visit these beaches attracted by their beautiful dunes and by the green sea waters. Many come to see the enticing structures sculptured by the sea on the steep slopes that line the beach and which present a wide variety of colors ranging from dark brown to bright orange. Small caves and curious mazes are also produced by the sea erosion on these hard sand dunes. The colorful sand is the raw material for local artists who produce beautiful miniature landscapes inside empty bottles and other glass recipients. Despite their intricate art, these object may be bought for surprisingly low prices.

At Carnival time, the main attraction are the lively crowds that descend on the beaches, creating an atmosphere of unrestrained revelry for four full days.

This Environmental Protection Area as established by federal law since 1984 is indeed a paradisiac spot on the coast of Ceará. It is considered one of the 10 most beautiful beaches on the planet, in the opinion of the Washington Post magazine in a 1994 issue. Located some 300 km west of Fortaleza, Jeri, as it is better known, occupies an area of some 200 sq. km. Legal requirements have preserved the rustic appearance of the place, and no more than one square kilometer was reserved for

the built up area. Any new building has to conform to rigid construction norms.

Among its main attractions, the best known is the famous Pedra Furada (The Perforated Rock), a huge stone arch sculptured by the sea waves and resting on the sand near the beach, as if it were part of the ruins of a gigantic palace.

Roads, hunting, predatory fishing, as well as polluting activities are prohibited.

The area offers a series of scenarios: the coconut groves, secluded beaches, open sea beaches with high waves, rocky hills, caves, large mobile dunes, crystal clear fresh water lagoons, and extensive mangroves, each one of them making up an individual ecological system.

Trekking and radical sports are ideal activities here. Given the need for preservation, facilities are rather rustic, and luxury is difficult to find. Still there is a wide variety of inns and very good restaurants.

If you decide to visit Jeri, allow a few more days in your original schedule, since most of the visitors end up deciding to delay their departure.

Near the beach there are small waterfalls. Some 3 km away there is the Lagoa da Barra, a lagoon nestled amid the dunes.

A visit to this beach (124 km from Fortaleza) is a must for the visitor.

Churrasco This variation

of the barbecue really started by cowhands in the pampas (the wide-open plains) of Brazil’s Deep South, as a convenient and quick means of roasting beef often obtained fresh from a carcass.

Today it is one of the country’s best known and appreciated dishes.

Served at the ubiquitous churrascarias, churrasco is beef, poultry or fish roasted over an open fire. In go-around-style churrascarias, you get all the meat and side dishes you can eat, at a fixed price. At some of them, you will be supplied with small red and green flags to signal the waiters if you will continue eating or if you’ve stopped.

Feijoada This

is more than a dish: it’s a piece of African wisdom passed on by the slaves to their white masters.

Given only the worst parts (feet, tails, ears and viscerae) of the pig, the slaves created Brazil’s national dish, a delight to the most sophisticated tastes.

It originated in Bahia in the early 1800s, but soon spread to the whole country. Its modern recipe does not differ much from the original: black beans cooked with everything that comes from the pig. It is normally accompanied by farofa (toasted manioc flour), rice and collard greens.

Brazil’s national drink may have started as a result of the creativity of the slaves.

Prohibited from drinking the best types of local rums, which were for the white masters and for sale, they started fermenting the “garapa” (non-fermented sugar cane juice) that normally flowed out of the mills and mix it with some lemon juice for taste and to help cure the common cold. Later, sugar was added for taste, but also after it was noticed that the absorption of the alcohol by the blood current was swifter. Today, it is made by crushing lime, ice, sugar, and cachaca, the Brazilian version of Caribbean rum. Bar do Arlindo 2260 Joaquim Nabuco St, Dionísio Torres. (85) 3268-1436.

Private Hospitals (payment required)

Note Medical treatment may be expensive and doctors and private hospitals may require cash payment prior to providing services, including for emergency care. Medical care is generally good, but it varies in quality, particularly in remote areas, and it may not meet international standards outside the major cities. In Fortaleza, for emergencies, we recommend Instituto Doutor José Frota, usually the most sought-after public hospital.
