Morro Branco, Coastal hill in Beberibe, Brazil.
The red and white sandstone cliffs of Morro Branco rise along the Ceará coastline, creating patterns against the Atlantic Ocean waters.
The geological formations of Morro Branco developed over millions of years through wind and water erosion, resulting in the current cliff structures.
Local artisans produce intricate sand bottles filled with naturally colored grains collected from the cliffs, continuing a generations-old tradition.
Visitors can reach Morro Branco by taking an 85-kilometer drive east from Fortaleza, with regular bus services available from the capital city.
The cliff walls contain 12 different natural sand colors, ranging from white to deep red, which local artists extract to create detailed art pieces.
