Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Fortaleza à Maracanaú

Get ready for a scenic ride from the vibrant city of Fortaleza to the nearby town of Maracanaú! Starting in Fortaleza, you’ll be leaving behind the Atlantic beaches and urban buzz, heading southwest into quieter, greener landscapes. Most of this 28 km route keeps you on dedicated cycleways and peaceful roads, so you can relax and enjoy the journey without too much traffic stress.

The terrain is mainly flat, with gentle ups and downs—enough to get your legs moving but nothing too intense. You’ll be weaving through a mix of urban neighborhoods and more rural areas, with around half the surfaces paved (from smooth asphalt to sturdy concrete). The remaining stretches might get a bit rustic, adding a sense of adventure.

Fortaleza is famous for its beaches and lively culture, so take in those ocean breezes on your way out. Maracanaú, your destination, is part of the greater Fortaleza area and offers a more laid-back vibe. Perfect for a weekend escape or a day trip! Don’t forget your sunscreen and water—enjoy the ride!
