svit Steve Vit Post Count: 2 Msg: #1 190 days ago, May 17th 2009 | I'm going to Fortaleza in July and I want to see some rainforest.I would like to make a 2 day trip to the Amazon or Mato Grosso. Is this possible? | Thanks Steve Brett9 Brett Steele Post Count: 12 Msg: #2 184 days ago, May 22nd 2009 | Hey Steve. From Fortaleza, I think the best option would be a flight to Manaus. GOL and TAM both have non-stops that get you there in around 4-hours. I would recommend at least 2-nights in the area to make it worth you time. To get to the Pantanal area you are looking at at least 8-hours of flying and I would recommend 3-nights to make it worth your time. It is very spread out down there and not quite as accessible as the Amazon. Hope that helps. If you need more info feel free to contact me. | I was in Fortaleza a couple weeks ago. It was a pretty cool place but I didn't love the city. Outside the city there are some great beaches and areas to visit. svit Steve Vit Post Count: 2 Msg: #3 184 days ago, May 23rd 2009 | Thanks for your reply it is very helpful. Why Didn't you like the city? | Thanks Steve jeriathome ingrid trost Post Count: 1 Msg: #4 183 days ago, May 23rd 2009 | Hi Steve | I agree with Brett about the Amazon or Mato Grosso, as well about Fortaleza. A big city with no special attractions or beaches. Most people head from Fortaleza to Jericoacoara (where I live): an amazing small coastal village with incredible beaches. You can check some sites with furter info about Jericoacoara like: www.jericoacoara.com or www.jeriathome.com Send me a PM if you have any specific questions about this area.
