 VERY Common sight by sailornappo
DON'T carry valuables that are obvious!
I spend 2 weeks in Fortaleza and surroundings, and had never any problem but that may be due to the intimate knowledge of my brasilian travel companion. Leave a Comment

You can avoid be steal at beachs " calçadão":
- leave your jewels at hotel room
- Walk there without much money
-Be aware of surrounding people
- if you rent a car, don´t do big city "explorations"...you can find a local Favela and..you know
- go to the beaches with people who know to get there...hotels can give you information about this... Phone: 190(police)

By night never walk alone in the street.. cause many of them don't have light.. the best way to go to the discos or another places is by taxi.. it's not expensive and more secure... Leave a Comment

First thing people told me there is.. Never leave your drink alone, even for 2 seconds.. never accept drinks for another people.. Cause they put some drugs into.. after a while they rob you...

Well.. There are many girls who spend the night "hunting" people to bed.. Usually this kind of girls work by day in ordinary work and by night they went to discos to earn some extra money... Leave a Comment

Unfortunately, Fortaleza is dangerous at night. Avoid walking by dark and desert streets, there are usually some suspicious guys lurking in such places. And you might see many teenage girls on the streets offering their "services". Leave a Comment

 missing Brazil... by Yiannis2000Leave a Comment

Fortaleza is a very modern city, but once outside the city things change rapidly. If you decide to do some traveling by car outside of the city be very careful. We rented a car and wendt along the highways to the beaches south of Fortaleza. The beaches are beautiful, but the highway about 70 km outside of Fortaleza becomes a graded road with many obstacles in it and then a pothole-ridden road. The potholes are often 1-3 m wide...I'm not kidding. If you take the more direct highway that doesn't travel along the coast it's even worse. And the joints at the bridges near the city will get you if the potholes don't
So use extreme caution and a heavy foot on the brake if your going this route. And travel during the day. We were very lucky to break down near the house of some very nice people who got us to a small town where some other nice people helped us back to Fortaleza. If you run into a problem, at least you can feel confident that Brazilians are unbelievably kind. Leave a Comment

If your out and about at night doing the old pub-crawl make sure that you keep drink in sight at all times. Do not leave your drink on the table while you go to the bathroom, and I am not just talking about the ladies either, this goes for you matcho men too!
The junk they put in drinks is not what you would call medicinal... and there have been a few reports that the people never woke up from the stuff.
Most of the time the people that are getting knocked out with this junk is the dumb-ass gringos that are walking around with a "lady of the night" holding hands like they are in love or something. These girls have nothing to loose! Leave a Comment
