How to Get to
Ceará
By
Plane -
Ceará has a privileged
location, being one of the closest Brazilian states
to Europe and to North America. Access to the State
is easier now with Pinto Martins International
Airport in Fortaleza, inaugurated in 1998, which
developed domestic and international tourism and
created conditions to increase the number of
airplanes arriving in Ceará. Regular flights bring
visitors from Spain and Portugal. Frequently, Ceará
receives charter flights from Italy, Sweden, Hungary,
Netherlands, Finland, Switzerland and Poland. There
are also regular domestic flights connecting Ceará
and the main Brazilian capitals, such as Rio de
Janeiro and São Paulo.
By
Land -
By land, tourists have
many options to arrive in Ceará, using the federal
highways. From Parnaíba, Piauí, access is possible
by BR-402 and BR-222. BR-020 gives access to
visitors from the central region of the country,
like Brasília. The ones coming from the Southeast
Region, from Rio de Janeiro, for instance, access is
by BR-116. From Rio Grande do Norte, the highway
that reaches Ceará is BR-304 and from Paraíba, it is
BR-230

Internal Traffic
- Internally, the tourist traffic from Fortaleza
towards the main tourist destinations in the State
is easy because of the good conditions of the roads
and traffic signs. Access to the beaches on the
Cearense coast is possible by two main routes,
CE-040 and CE-085.
CE-040 links the
capital and the towns on the Sunrise Coastline, like
Beberibe, where Morro Branco Beach is located,
Cascavel, where there is Caponga Beach and Aracati,
where there is Canoa Quebrada Beach. On the Sunset
Coastline, CE-085, also known as the Structuring
Highway, takes visitors to São Gonçalo do Amarante (Pecém
and Taíba Beaches), Paraipaba (Lagoinha Beach) and
Itapipoca (Baleia Beach). BR-020 connects Fortaleza
and the central region of the State, which, in its
turn, gives access to Ibiapaba Mountain and Inhamuns
Backwoods. For further details, check the "How to
