The XCeará is a Cross Country event, getting pilots together trying to brake their own records and also local, continental and World records.
Meantime, it is above all, a meeting of pilots from all over the world flying together with the same aim: fly as far and as fun as possible.
The friendly atmosphere is the “trade mark”of this big fun event.

 7- WAYS TO REACH CEARÁ AND QUIXADÁ:
The best option is fly straight to Fortaleza, the Ceará’s state capital.
Internal flights in Brazil are quite expensive. So if you’re flying originally to São Paulo or Rio, normally is much cheaper to buy the ticket from Rio or São Paulo to Fortaleza with your international one in your country.

After arriving in Fotaleza’s airport, all transports are included in the registration fee: we pick you up in the airport, drive to a hotel in Fortaleza or straight to Quixadá, depending on the time and date of your arrival.

The trip Between Fortaleza and Quixadá is about 200km and it’s covered in around 2,5 hours drive.
For the XCeará piots, the transfer from Fortaleza to Quixadá, will be on Saturday, November 21st at 9 a.m.
Any transfer out of this date won’t be in included in the entry fee.
