Although its roots are agricultural, Caucaia has grown into a popular destination for day-trippers from the nearby city of Fortaleza. Breezy Cumbuco Beach, on Caucaia's Atlantic Coast, is a kite-surfing hotspot. Caucaia is also home to the Botanical Park of Ceará, with about 65 bird species and more than 180 plant varieties. You might even spot a capybara, which resembles a giant guinea pig.
