Hi all - my husband and I are thinking of heading to Brazil this summer (Aug) for a few weeks. We'll be taking our own gear and don't need lessons. Has anyone been recently and have any recommendations for:
1) How to get to Fortaleza from Europe (regional flight via Rio?)
2) Insider tips on where to stay - kite-friendly and reasonably priced? - best 2-3 spots to base ourselves from if we have a rental car?
3) Downwinder kite safari trips? - day trips or longer, organised overnight trips?
4) Just general tips that could be helpful?
Thanks so much!!
