Northeast Brazil is the wilder sister to that of the south. Soft-sand beaches stretch for miles, dotted by reggae bars and local seafood joints. Fishermen's villages line the coasts where wooden boats still bring in the day's catch, and come carnival time, pulsing speakers stretch for miles bringing musical beats and energetic crowds. Within this great expanse, nestled between coconut palms stretching towards the sky and a powdery soft beach, A Vida é um Carnaval sits on the water's edge. In fact, it's so close, that high tide brings the waves gently reaching for the front gate. The house is a 90 minute drive from Fortaleza airport and we can arrange a taxi to do pick ups. You can walk into town which takes about 15-20 minutes, though you may arrive a bit sticky from the heat! Instead, we recommend hiring a sand buggy (we can arrange this for you) which will help you to zip around from the house to town, to the lagoon, and beyond. One buggy can seat 4 people comfortably, or 5 at a squeeze. Alternatively, there are are some taxi services which we can help you to book.
