Description: Serra de Baturité in Fortaleza
To get an idea of the extent of tourist flow in the hills of Baturité just say that since the beginning of the year there was practically no more room in the hotel network for the Carnival. Although the occupancy rate is high almost throughout the year, demand has become more intense due to Jazz and Blues Festival to be held 24-27 February in Guaramiranga. The beauty of the landscape and cultural effervescence is achieving effects. The council currently has 10 hotels and 55 registered homes for rent.
Guaramiranga is located 86 km from Fortaleza, 885 meters of altitude, high in the mountains. Its average annual temperature varies between 12 and 15 degrees centigrade. During the day the heat is intense, between 26 and 28A ° C, but at night the temperature plummets.
On small farms and small holdings is common to see the cultivation of wildflowers and landscapes of one of the last preserved areas of Atlantic forest in Ceará. From the viewpoint of Pico Alto, at an altitude of 1.115m, a few miles from headquarters, it is possible to contemplate valleys, mountains, rivers and dams, and a fabulous sunset.
Among the most sought after sights of the city is the church of Our Lady of Conception (Gothic-style colonial) and the Church of Our Lady of Lourdes Grotto (Baroque).
The hills of Baturité has numerous trails, which can be crossed by practitioners of trekking, rappelling and mountaineering. The ecosystem includes the native plants (eucalyptus, pines, inga and different flowers) and animals (toucans, curiós, snakes and amphibians) of the Atlantic. It has several waterfalls, such as Jordão, at Sítio da Volta and the Moças Well (Poço das Moças), worth a visit for a refreshing bath.
