Fortaleza is said to be the most affluent city in Brazil , with more BMWs per capita than Rio or Sao Paulo. It is quickly becoming a hot destination for the male travelers around the world. More than just a tropical destination with beautiful women, this progressive Brazilian city combines seductive geography with a proud history, vivacious people and rich culture. Fortaleza , is a fairly modern city and offers a wide range of activities in the city as well as neighboring towns. There are a variety of hotels, excellent dining choices, a robust nightlife and a myriad of outdoor recreational activities. In short, it is an excellent destination for single men because of its beautiful, friendly women, great weather and awesome range of adventurous activities.

We arrived into Fortaleza following our incredible jungle adventure in Manaus – WOW! We settled in at the Parthenon Golden Fortaleza, which was a rather convenient location, especially since we rented a dune buggy (you will hear more about this later). It was about 10 minutes drive from Praia Iracema and equidistant to Praia do Futoro (Beach of the Future). Both of the beaches are important because much of the nightlife is located near Praia Iracema, whereas Praia do Futoro is the nicer of the two beaches for daytime activity!

We relaxed during the afternoon, checking out the women that stroll along the beach walkway – saving our energy for the nocturnal festivities that would soon ensue.

As is our normal tradition, and we suggest you do the same, we went to the local shopping mall to check out the cuties that always hang out in Brazilian malls. Some of the best looking women you see while in Brazil will be at the malls, trust me.

We walked around, but it was a bit too early as things don't start heating up until after midnight . We had planned to go to Pirata, which starts relatively early. Pirata is VERY COOL. It's only once a week on Monday's, and is essentially a big outdoor dance and music celebration with gorgeous Brazilian dancers performing on stage. Lucky for us, our first night in Fortaleza happened to be a Monday night, and Fortaleza throws what the locals say is the wildest Monday night party in all of South America at Pirata. The energy of the place is awesome and everyone is dancing and having a great time. You can definitely meet women at Pirata, but you have to be aggressive. Speaking Portuguese or Spanish will greatly increase your chances of hooking up. We've done it before so don't give up hope if the girls don't approach you at first..

After Pirata, we decided to head down to Praia Iracema, an area where within a few blocks there are several bars and restaurants within a few blocks radius. This is where most of the nightlife and single, local Brazilian girls hang out.

We noticed a spot called Cafe del Mar which was teaming with girls both inside an out. We naturally went to check it out.

This place has live music downstairs (don't expect a great performance, it kind of hurt my eyes and ears) and a dance club upstairs. This is a great little spot, where it is not uncommon to have a women-to-men ratio of say 7 to 1 or better. When we walked in, the women looked at us like we were their favorite desserts with whip cream and a cherry on top. They loved us so much, we felt like movie stars surrounded by a bunch of groupies. In fact, as we were leaving later that night, a girl had one of the bus boys slip me her number as I was leaving with another woman – gotta like that! With women that aggressive you know we had a great time. We met three blonde chicks and made a b-line for the hotel.
