Guaramiranga

Guaramiranga is a mountain municipality in Serra de Baturité located approximately 110 kilometers from Fortaleza at an elevation of 865 meters. The region benefits from moderate temperatures ranging between 15 and 23 degrees Celsius year-round, creating a cool climate compared to the coastal areas below.

The area was originally inhabited by the Tarariús indigenous people before being officially established as a municipality on September 1, 1890. This founding marked the beginning of formal administrative organization in the state of Ceará.

The town hosts a Jazz & Blues Festival during Carnival season and the Ceará Fest Flores in November, bringing together musicians and artists from various backgrounds. These gatherings shape the local cultural rhythm and give visitors a chance to experience the music and art that matter to the community.

Several hotels and guesthouses operate in town, including Hotel Vale das Nuvens and Pousada Raízes, offering comfortable lodging for visitors. The elevated location brings cooler temperatures, so bringing a light jacket or sweater is sensible, especially in the evening hours.

An aeronautic museum at the entrance displays an Embraer AT-26 Xavante aircraft, a rare military plane from a unit that operated from 1973 to 2018. This unusual centerpiece tells a chapter of Brazilian aviation history that few visitors expect to find in this mountain town.
