The town of Cambuco is about 40 kilometers from Fortaleza, and I visited it today. A bus came and picked me up around 8:00 am, and we drove for about two hours. When you arrive at the destination, you immediately are made aware that it is a tourist destination. Vendors are aggressive, and the destination is designed as a small resort oasis with pools, restaurants, and “kite surfing” classes. Tourism is a major source of income for the local residents. I was surprised not to see a single foreign tourist, though: the visitors were all domestic Brazilian tourists, all coming from different states in the country.
