Planning your trip

Flights and a few extra days in Brazil. For transfers, language, level and what to bring, see the FAQ below.

Flights to Fortaleza +
Fortaleza (FOR) is the gateway to the event, and getting there is straightforward.

Direct flights
• From Europe: flights from Lisbon (TAP/LATAM), and regular service from Paris (Air France) and Madrid (Iberia).
• From the US: flights from Miami (LATAM) and Orlando (GOL).

Connecting flights
• Via São Paulo (GRU): Delta, United, American and Lufthansa fly daily into São Paulo, with quick domestic connections to Fortaleza.
• Via Lisbon (LIS): a favorite for European travelers, with easy one-stop access from almost any major EU city.

From Fortaleza to Icapuí, see the airport and transfer question in the FAQ below. Flight routes change often: always check current options with your airline.
Can I stay longer and explore? +
Fortaleza is one of Brazil's most underrated coastal capitals: 25 km of urban beach, a buzzing seafront promenade (Beira Mar), the colorful Mercado Central, famous forró nights, and the surreal sand dunes of Cumbuco and Morro Branco nearby. Many of our visitors arrive a few days early or stay on after.

We are happy to help you plan it: boutique hotels in Fortaleza, day trips to Jericoacoara or Canoa Quebrada, where to eat the best moqueca, where to dance forró till sunrise. Just ask us on WhatsApp.
