Ceara

Introduction

Fortaleza

Ceará is one of the 27 states of Brazil and is located in the northeastern part of the country, bordering the Atlantic Ocean and the states of Rio Grande do Norte, Paraíba, Pernambuco and Piauí. Ceará is also known as the "sunshine coast". With thousands of kilometres of beach and hundreds of small towns, Ceará is a mecca for kiteboarders and surfers alike. There is unparalleled wind in Ceará, for more than 7 months, which has tourists coming from all over the world to learn to kitesurf or kiteboard. One of the better locations to kiteboard is Ilha do Guajiru, just north of Itarema, 230 kilometres from Fortaleza, the capital and biggest city in the state of Ceará. Here there's a large flat water lagoon which makes it popular with both beginners and more advanced kiteboarders.
