ABOUT
Trapiche da Fortaleza is not a formal pier like those in Nova Brasília and Encantadas — it is an informal landing point on Praia da Fortaleza, used by boatmen who make the crossing from Nova Brasília (10 min, R$15-25). It is the fastest access to Fortaleza de Nossa Senhora dos Prazeres and Vila da Fortaleza do Norte. There is no parking or ticket office infrastructure — the crossing is negotiated directly with the cooperative boatmen.
✨ HIGHLIGHTS
