- "Don't go to Fortaleza, Brazil!" they told us. It literally terrified me, but we decided that staying two weeks in Fortaleza, Brazil, before flying back to Europe was the optimal budget/experience balance we could achieve.
I remember how terrified we were as we stepped out of the plane. Even the thought of taking an Uber from the airport in plain daylight was terrifying.
But after a few days and a bit more contact with locals, our perspective changed. So I made this video for all tourists and foreigners looking to travel to Fortaleza, Brazil.
We only stayed in the tourist areas and took Uber to/from the airport and to go shopping a couple of times. I hope this helps.
Spent 3 years living in fortaleza. Never had any bad experiences, and people are super friendly. People often will walk across the street just to talk to you and ask how your day is.
I'm from Brazil, and I agree with you guys 100%. It's disrespectful to "tour" in the favelas like you're in a zoo.
Fortaleza has a bad reputation. I've spent months there and never experienced, or even seen, a crime. The tourist zones are very safe and friendly. Don't let the fear mongering keep you from experiencing this great city.
My country, Fortaleza!! ❤️🌄
I love Fortaleza! You have to be careful anywhere in the world! The people in Fortaleza are amazing in Ceara- Brazil!😀🇧🇷
Vocês serão sempre bem vindos em Fortaleza ❤❤❤
Thank you for showing Brazil!
Brazil is underestimated.
There is a loop of misinformation that feeds back on itself, as those who have bad experiences shout out to everyone, while those who have good experiences remain silent.
Regarding the pronunciation of Açai, the pronunciation is not "akai" its like "asai". And it is a very high-calorie but very healthy fruit due to its bioactive compounds and antioxidants. Just avoid putting candys in the recipe
I've lived in Fortaleza for over 30 years and I'm glad you had a good experience. I can't say the same, but I understand the good perception you had. the fact that we have electrical wires on the walls, bars on the doors and windows and we are afraid of walking alone at night in many places is what makes me want to leave here, but of course by taking the necessary precautions and going to places where there are a lot of people, the experience tends to be positive. Even though I worked for a few years in the region that appears in the video, I never bathed in this sea. We have beautiful other beach options in our state.
Yes Jo. I can see there is the city beach which is probably a little murky understandably, but a few kilometres along i'm sure you'll find the beautiful ones. Do u still wear a mask bro? ty

Fortaleza é a melhor cidade do Brasil, um lugar muito lindo!
Obrigada folks. I spent a month in Rio 2018. Never a problem, only friendly people and great food and music. I've just met a lady from Fortaleza, and travelling there next month to meet her. You need to use common sense and not wander around drunk or in isolated areas if you're a gringo. Similar strategy to any big city in the world. ty 4 vid.
Fortaleza is beautiful !
Yes❤
Thanks for the video.
Super safe in most places
I would not say "super" safe... anywhere. When you think you are "super" safe, that is when you drop your guard and will become a victim.
A melhor cidade do Ceará é Viçosa ❤

Cool vid but the slums in New York are definitely not comparable to slums in Rio De Janeiro. No ones going to the projects to take photos. In Rio even Cariocas go to places like Mirante Rochinha to take in the view. Night and day comparison.
Unfortunately, a lot of people go to the poorer parts of Brazil as an attraction. Not my opinion, but a reality
