Cycling day trip from Fortaleza to Caucaia

Get ready for a pleasant ride from the vibrant city of Fortaleza to the neighboring town of Caucaia! This route stretches close to 28 km and mostly follows quiet roads—perfect for cyclists looking for a relaxed journey without too much hustle and bustle.

You'll start in Fortaleza, known for its lively beaches and iconic Iracema boardwalk, then cruise through a mix of urban and suburban scenery. Don’t be surprised if you spot local food vendors or get occasional coastal views along the way! The path is fairly flat overall, with only gentle ups and downs (about 150 meters of ascent and almost as much descent), so it's manageable for most riders.

While over half of the route’s surface details are missing, almost the entire path is paved, mostly with asphalt, ensuring a smooth ride. Dedicated cycleways pop up now and then, but you’ll mainly enjoy calm, quiet streets.

Your trip ends in Caucaia, a town famous for kitesurfing and the stunning dunes along the Barra do Ceará river mouth. It’s a great spot to finish your ride, relax, and maybe even take in a sunset before heading back!
