OUR STORY
EVE VIERIA
Eve Vieira is from the region between Itapipoca and Amontada, in Ceará. Born and raised near the sea, the rivers, the communities, and the simple roads of the countryside, he grew up closely connected to a way of life shaped by fishing, agriculture, and local traditions. For many years, his relationship with the region was built day by day: through work, landscapes, customs, and the everyday life shared with the people who are part of this territory. As a fisherman and farmer, Eve learned from an early age the importance of nature, time, the land, and the sea for the life of coastal communities. Over the years, the desire arose to go beyond fishing and agriculture. That was when he decided to seek knowledge in entrepreneurship and tourism, with the goal of transforming his local experience into meaningful experiences for visitors who wish to discover the region in a more authentic way. This is how the tours were born: not merely as tourist routes, but as a way to share the culture, customs, stories, and natural beauty of Amontada and Ceará’s coast. Each path presented by Eve carries a part of his own story. These routes pass through beaches, rivers, lagoons, communities, and landscapes that are part of the local identity. More than showing beautiful places, the purpose is to bring visitors closer to the real life of the region, with respect, simplicity, and connection with those who live here. Our story is made of roots, memory, and belonging. It is an invitation to experience the coast with more calm, discover its paths, and feel the natural and cultural richness found in every encounter.
2008. This is how tourism began in Icaraí de Amontada.
A historical record: the first pickup truck to cross on the Ilha das Ostras ferry, on the Aracatiaçu River.
How can we begin to describe our experience with Raízes do Litoral? It was simply unforgettable. We had always imagined that Ceará’s coast would be a beautiful destination, but through this experience we were able to go beyond the landscapes: we experienced the local culture up close, discovered stories, paths, and people that made everything truly special. It was much more than we expected from a trip. We took with us unique memories, the kind that stay with you for a lifetime.
