Cycling day trip from Fortaleza to Eusébio

Get ready for a pleasant ride from Fortaleza to Eusébio! Starting in vibrant Fortaleza—famous for its lively beaches, delicious seafood, and colonial architecture—you’ll head south through a mix of quiet roads and cycleways, making for a mostly relaxing journey. About 43% of your route is on smooth asphalt, while over half is a mix of different surfaces (so keep an eye out for patches that might get a bit bumpy).

With just over 250 meters of gradual ascent and a similar amount of descent, the route is gently rolling without any major hills—perfect for a steady pace. Most of your ride (over 50%) is along peaceful roads that offer a nice break from city traffic.

Your destination, Eusébio, is a leafy and fast-growing town just outside the Fortalezense urban sprawl, known for its laid-back feel and green spaces. It’s a popular weekend escape for locals, so why not treat yourself to some local pastries or a cold drink when you arrive?

All in all, it’s a lovely route blending coastal city vibes with the calmer rhythms of Ceará’s countryside!
