Jericoacoara, or "Jeri," is a world-renowned beach destination in Ceará, Brazil, famous for its golden sand dunes, crystal-clear lagoons with hammocks, and laid-back bohemian vibe.

The town is unique for its sandy streets—there is no asphalt—and is located within a protected national park.

Top Attractions & Activities

Sunset at Duna do Pôr do Sol: A daily tradition where locals and tourists gather on a massive dune to watch the sun sink into the Atlantic. After sunset, it's common to see capoeira circles and enjoy caipirinhas from beach stalls.

Lagoa do Paraíso (Paradise Lagoon): Famous for its turquoise water and iconic hammocks submerged in the lake. The Alchymist Beach Club is a popular upscale spot here, though there are free entrance options like Nova Esperança.

Pedra Furada (Pierced Rock): An arched rock formation that is Jeri’s most famous symbol. It's best visited during low tide via a coastal walk or through a hill trail. In July and August, the sun sets directly through the arch.

Buraco Azul (Blue Hole): A man-made lagoon created from excavation, known for its intense turquoise blue water—perfect for swimming and photos.
Árvore da Preguiça (Sloth Tree): A peculiar cashew tree shaped by strong coastal winds to look like it's lying down.

Wind & Water Sports: Jeri is a premier destination for kitesurfing and windsurfingdue to consistent winds from July to January. You can book lessons at local schools like Kiteschool Jericoacoara.

Popular Tours

Most visitors divide their exploration into two main buggy or 4x4 circuits:
Tour Highlights Estimated Duration
East Coast Pedra Furada, Sloth Tree, Preá Beach, Buraco Azul, and Lagoa do Paraíso. 6–8 hours
West Coast Guriú (sea horse spotting), Mangue Seco (dry mangroves), and Tatajuba Dunes/Lagoon. 5–7 hours

Tours can be booked through operators like Daniel Passeios or Jeri Trilha Maluca.

Dining & Nightlife
Restaurants: Restaurante Alecrim and Bistrô Caiçara are highly rated for Brazilian seafood. For a rustic vibe, try Na Casa Dela.

Nightlife: The town stays active at night with live music, forró dancing (especially on Sundays at Forró de Trás da Igreja), and late-night samba.
Essential Travel Tips

Transportation: Only 4x4 vehicles can reach the village. Most travelers fly to Fortaleza and take a 5-hour 4x4 transfer, or fly directly to Jericoacoara Airport (JJD), located 40 minutes away.
Sustainable Tourism Tax: Visitors must pay a daily fee (approx. R$41.50 for 10 days) to stay in Jeri.

Cash: There are no ATMs in the village; while many places take cards, it's wise to carry some cash for smaller stalls and tips.
