Morro Branco & the beaches south of Fortaleza, Brazil – Stunning red cliffs

After a week of paradise in Fernando de Noronha, I returned to mainland Brazil for yet more beaches. I headed to Fortaleza but didn’t spend much time there; rather, I used it as a base from which to explore the beaches to the South. Based on my research, the beaches to the South are backed by these stunning red cliffs while the beaches to the North feature these ridiculous sand dunes. More on the North later. I visited Morro Branco, Praia das Fontes & Canoa Quebrada. Morro Branco is the real standout in terms of beauty but has zero pousadas in which to crash so that’s saved for Canoa Quebrada which is a pretty charming fishing village. I just spent a couple days here as I wanted to head North to the dunes for an extended stay. But my were the views pretty.
