The bohemian beach town of Jericoacoara is located in a vast coastal dune area in Northeast Brazil 290 km from Fortaleza. It is like an island between the sea and the sand dunes. It is the newest declared National Park in Brazil and is only accessed by 4x4 vehicles due to the shifting sands. All roads in the village are sand and dune buggies are the primary mode of transportation. Jeri has a unique mixture of stunning landscapes and unspoiled nature: dunes, fresh-water lagoons, rocky cliffs, mangroves, desolate beaches and more.

Jericoacoara has recently been discovered for windsurfing and kitesurfing. It is considered one of the top five places in the world to sail because it blows every day for six months (July and December) between 20 and 30 knots!

Horseback riding can be done throughout the National Park, along the desolate beaches, in and out of the beautiful sand dunes, and fresh water lakes.  You can explore the small local villages and experience nature like you have never seen before!

The village of Jeri comes alive at dusk where everyone climbs the large sand dune to watch the incredible sunsets and give thanks for another magical day. Following the sunset, the people gather on the beach for Capoeira (Brazilian martial art) and music.

Jericoacoara has an incredible diversity of excellent restaurants: Brazilian, Italian, French and more.

There is also a robust Brazilian nightlife with live music and dancing.
