Recommendation
For the fastest and most comfortable journey, I recommend flying from Porto Alegre (the closest major airport to Fortaleza dos Valos) to Fortaleza and then taking a connecting flight to Jericoacoara, followed by a local taxi or bus to Santana do Acarau. The combined air travel time and taxi transfer will make it quicker than bus travel. If you prefer a budget-friendly option and don't mind the longer duration, travelling by bus is an excellent choice that offers scenic views along the way.
