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

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.

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.
