There are no banks and cash machines in Atins. Some shops do not accept credit cards and phone and internet connection is limited.
FROM THE NEAREST AIRPORT OF SÃO LUÍS (SLZ)
The easiest way is to schedule a private taxi from the airport to the port of Barreirinhas and book a private speedboat from Barreirinhas to Atins.
There are other possibilities of public transportation that significantly lengthen the duration of the transfer.
FROM JERICOACOARA OR FORTALEZA AIRPORT (FOR)
It is possible to transit from Fortaleza airport by 4×4 to Caburé, via Paulino Neves. In Caburé, you will have to take a boat to reach Atins on the other side of the river. Many people enjoy this long journey to visit and kitesurf in other places alongside the coast.
Our recommendation is to use the transfers services offered by our partner Pousada Muita Paz for comfort, safety and convenience: muitapaz.atins@gmail.com
