Book cheap flights to Fortaleza

Fortaleza has a unique climate with warm, beach going temperatures all year long, and a rainy season that spans seven months. The rainy months are from January to June, but typically, it doesn’t rain for too long at a time, so it won’t keep you from enjoying your time out. With this type of weather, it would be great to visit Fortaleza all year long, but to avoid the summer and winter crowds, consider visiting during spring (September to November) or autumn (March to May). During this time, the city is less crowded: it is low season, so you will be able to find cheap flights and accommodation to Fortaleza. The local carnival of Fortaleza also brings mass crowds, and takes place during July each year.

South Africans who wish to visit Fortaleza in Brazil can do so without a visa, if you plan on staying for less than 90 days. Just ensure that your passport has at least six months left on it.

The city of Fortaleza is as safe as any other big city across the world. There are, of course, some precautions to take when travelling around the city. These include: not walking around alone at night, keeping your personal belongings out of sight, and not flashing expensive items around for everyone to see.

It is always important to have your vaccines up to date when you are travelling. When visiting Brazil, it is recommended to get a vaccination for hepatitis A, as you will most likely be eating food that is unfamiliar. You should get a shot for typhoid if you’ll be doing any trips to smaller, more rural areas of the country. Other vaccines that are recommended are hepatitis B, yellow fever, malaria and rabies.
