Ceara's Mountains & Beaches

"Ubajara", a small town in one of "Ceara's" mountain ranges, offers an exuberant landscape. The mountain range has a mild climate with valleys and forests. Fountainheads give rise to small rivers, little springs and waterfalls. Privileged by nature, the town has an average temperature of 22 degrees Celsius producing dense vegetation. In the middle of one of the ridges lies the "Ubajara" cave with strange rock formations m 15 different chambers, giving it a spectacular and colorful effect. The view of the lowlands from up on the mountain range is also spectacular. 75 miles away from "Ubajara", in the state of "Piaui", is the National Park "Sete Cidades". Seen from the ground, the strange eroded rock formations look like a collection of weird monuments. The beaches of the state of "Ceara" are among the most beautiful in the world. The loveliness of " Jericoacoara", 365 km to the north of Fortaleza is indescribable. White sand and gigantic dunes make a strong contrast with the "caatinga" vegetation of cactus and "jojoba" trees. "Canoa Quebrada", a small fishing village, built on a sand dune, located 156 km to the south of Fortaleza is perhaps "Ceara's best known beach. At the weekends there is a lively nightlife.
