Excelente vídeo! Como você pode perceber nos comentários, os próprio brasileiros sempre acham que são piores em tudo e precisa alguém de outro país mostrar o quão excelente é a nossa terra. Problemas existem em todos os lugares. Nos últimos anos, Fortaleza e o estado do Ceará têm tido um grande aumento nos indicativos, bem como atração de inúmeros polos industriais e, hoje, Fortaleza já é a cidade mais rica e mais visitada no Nordeste brasileiro. De fato, muitas construções em nossa cidade lembram a ensolarada Miami, mas com características regionais encontradas apenas aqui. Estou inscrito no seu canal e parabéns pelo excelente trabalho. A sua alegria é contagiante, você combina muito com o nosso povo, também! Abraço! Obs: Fortaleza também tem belos parques urbanos, como o Coco, e resorts no Porto das Dunas, dentre diversas outras coisas!

The next time in Brazil you must visit the neighbor state "Rio Grande do Norte" and its sites: Natal, Pipa, Genipabu, Maracajau...also make a trip to Fernando de Noronha Island (it's a bit exclusive island, but THE most beautiful in Brazil). Off course, I told about RGN state because my family is from there, but don't forget to spend more time in Northeast Brazil. I could not fail to mention Porto de Galinhas, Porto Seguro, Maragogi, Maceió, São Miguel dos Milagres, Morro de São Paulo, Itacaré, Lençois Maranhesses... etc etc etc... you name it. You can spend one year in this region and it would not be enough to explore everything.

Cumbuco is about 27 km from Fortaleza and is paradisiacally beautiful. You can get there directly from Fortaleza Airport with a shuttle. Cumbuco has a beautiful beach and even various freshwater lakes (lagos) that are also used for swimming and kiting, as well as beautiful dunes.

[@jessy6791]

Years ago, Cumbuco developed into the center of kite surfing. For Germans, Austrians, Swiss / German-speaking, Europeans and English speakers, the accommodation Kitedream Cumbuco is recommended, which is run by Germans, who can then help you if you have any questions. This complex is suitable for singles to large families. If you book directly you get a cheaper price than for example via Booking. The address is: Rau Olivia Feitosa Costa 223, Cumbuco, State of Ceará.

[@jessy6791]

The contact options are via telephone (German number): 0049 171 2070123. The homepage is: www.cumbuco-internacional.de/, Instagram: kitedreamcumbuco, the e-mail address: [e-mail], the Brazilian number is: [phone]. From Kitedream Cumbuco you can also, for example, rent a car, book buggy tours, book quad tours, organize excursions, book cosmetic appointments, book massages, organize everything to do with kiting and much more. The beach is only 50 meters away, the dunes about 100 meters. You can walk to the center in 5 minutes and there are many shops, pharmacies, supermarkets, restaurants, clothing

Sim, claro que também existem muitas diferenças👌 Estive em ambos e os amo de maneiras diferentes.

It seems to be that it got a loooot safer for some reason now, am I wrong

[@SwedishGringo]

It could be an effect of covid. Much less people. It’s always hard to compare these things - my sensation is that Fortaleza has less seedy areas where tourists generally roam

[@seanmahoney4417]

So if one had a choice and could only visit one of Fortaleza or Florianopolis which one would it be?

[@SwedishGringo]

I’ll be diplomatic: Your experience from Floripa will totally depend on the weater. The warm period is pretty short, and so is the peak tourist season (if you want to party and meet people). In Fortaleza you will have perfect, warm weather. Always. ☀️☀️☀️

@@seanmahoney4417: Please ask the internet as well. Me: definately Fortaleza those days.

is it dangerous in the evenings near the beach and at the Feirinha Beira Mar ?

[@SwedishGringo]

The boardwalk is full of families with their kids and laughing couples on rollerskates. It felt 500 percent safe 🎈

I love that city! Acctually planning another Fortaleza love declaration ☀️

[@user-vu3cj9zi5u]

@@SwedishGringo Hallå på dig! Gillar dina videos. Min livsstil, huvudet på spiken, haha! Älskar Fortaleza !!! Undrar lite över de haken efter 08.40 i klippet. Om du kanske minns namnen på dem? Tror kanske jag missat någon av dem. En av dem ser dock ut som Pagode da Diretoria. Jag bor just nu bara 350 meter ifrån den, på Avenida Abolicao! Fan att man börjar bli äldre hade gärna varit 30-35 igen. :) Nåja bara att kämpa in i kaklet! Bem Vindo Novamente!

Hotel Praia Centro in Iracema. Highly recommended!

Yes, I felt perfectly safe. Maybe just a bit more than Rio

[@williamsilva347]

@@rjmh3968 Conheço é um bairro muito bonito, mas que eu saiba não existe nada oficializando que uma cidade deve ser conhecida por nome de outra. Muitas cidades litorâneas do Brasil têm um Feeling de Miami, e Fortaleza é na minha opinião a que tem mais esse feeling, pelo o clima ensolarado, arquitetura, mar, orla, vibe, etc. Mas, respeito a sua opinião.

Cuidado com sol aqui do Ceará. Usa protetor solar cara.

You always hear a lot of things about Brazil. If you want crime, sure you can find it. Is it dangerous to visit as a tourist? No.

1. Quando abriu o sétimo selo, fez-se silêncio no céu, quase por meia hora. 2. E vi os sete anjos que estavam em pé diante de Deus, e lhes foram dadas sete trombetas. 3. Veio outro anjo, e pôs-se junto ao altar, tendo um incensário de ouro; e foi-lhe dado muito incenso, para que o oferecesse com as orações de todos os santos sobre o altar de ouro que está diante do trono. 4. E da mão do anjo subiu diante de Deus a fumaça do incenso com as orações dos santos. 5. Depois o anjo tomou o incensário, encheu-o do fogo do altar e o lançou sobre a terra; e houve trovões, vozes, relâmpagos e terremoto. 6. Então os sete anjos que tinham as sete trombetas prepararam-se para tocar. 7. O primeiro anjo tocou a sua trombeta, e houve saraiva e fogo misturado com sangue, que foram lançados na terra; e foi queimada a terça parte da terra, a terça parte das árvores, e toda a erva verde. 8. O segundo anjo tocou a sua trombeta, e foi lançado no mar como que um grande monte ardendo em fogo, e tornou-se em sangue a terça parte do mar. 9. E morreu a terça parte das criaturas viventes que havia no mar, e foi destruída a terça parte dos navios. 10. O terceiro anjo tocou a sua trombeta, e caiu do céu uma grande estrela, ardendo como uma tocha, e caiu sobre a terça parte dos rios, e sobre as fontes das águas. 11. O nome da estrela era Absinto; e a terça parte das águas tornou-se em absinto, e muitos homens morreram das águas, porque se tornaram amargas. 12. O quarto anjo tocou a sua trombeta, e foi ferida a terça parte do sol, a terça parte da lua, e a terça parte das estrelas; para que a terça parte deles se escurecesse, e a terça parte do dia não brilhante, e semelhantemente a da noite. 13. E olhei, e ouvi uma águia que, voando pelo meio do céu, dizia com grande voz: Ai, ai, ai dos que habitam sobre a terra! por causa dos outros toques de trombeta dos três anjos que ainda vão tocar. (Apocalipse, 8).
