if relying on taxis, it is important to set up a return trip in advance, as it could be difficult to find a taxi at or near the fortaleza.

taxis stop at the final point of bus line 7003, and this would be the best way to both reach the fort by taxi, and to arrange for a trip back.

thefort is at the end of rua avenida carlos ermelindo marins, jurujuba, niterói, and can be seen on this google map.
