Photographer’s Note

The lucky visitor who has elected to stay in Cumbuco, rather than the large city of Fortaleza is quick to feel the freedom and tranquility of strolling around the small village, mingling with the locals. Seeing at first hand, and becoming part of, the way of life of the '"real" Brazil. At the center of the village is the pracinha (town square). Surrounding this are many shops, snack bars, restaurants, small supermarkets. At night the pracinha converts into a community meeting place, where the people leave their houses to enjoy the open air atmosphere, and of course to watch the nightly game of football. Often visitors are invited to participate in the game, just as during the day you can join in a friendly game of football on the beach. The best months for Kite surfing are May/June to December, there is a constant wind from the sea during these months. Many horses are available to hire on the beach in front of the village,or, treat yourself to a personally guided tour through the spectactular dunes on thoroughbred Arabian horses, leave in the late afternoon. Others activities are: buggy tours, jangada tour, Jet Skiing and Banana Boat Rides and quadrocycles.
