Feedback on Northeast Brazil itinerary in February

Hello,

We’re leaving on February 19th for 13 days in the Northeast of Brazil, with my husband and our two kids (19 and 17). Here’s our itinerary: We’ll arrive in Fortaleza and stay in a guesthouse for 3 nights. Then we’ll hit the road with a private driver, heading to Pipa via the beach of Ponta do Mel, passing through Galinhos, São Miguel, and Natal.

Do you think this is a good itinerary?

Initially, I was planning to go from São Luís to Fortaleza (Lençóis Maranhenses...), but I was advised against it since it’s not really the season and the dunes and lagoons would’ve been empty. I can’t change the itinerary now, but I’m a bit worried I’ll be less impressed by this one. I’d love to know if it’s still worth it?

Thanks in advance!

Even though it’s not the “peak season” for the Lençóis lagoons, they’re never empty 😊 I visited them in January and it’s still a strong memory. Here are a few notes from my travel journal at the time: https://voyageforum.com/v.f?post=10306223;#10306223

Hello, it’s great if you spend some time on the beaches by buggy… the landscapes are vast, with beautiful dunes like in Canoa… and hundreds of wind turbines…

Thanks Dennis,

Yeah, we’re doing it only along the beach.

Thanks!

I went to check it out—it’s gorgeous!

Thanks!

I went to see it—it’s magnificent!

We’re totally on the same page…
