Holidays in Jericoacoara

Jericoacoara, lovingly called as Jeri, is regarded as the pearl of Ceara coast in Brazil. If you want to enjoy the tranquility of the beaches, then Jericoacoara is the perfect holiday destination for you. The isolation of the place is one factor which draws travelers to the place. If you take a four-wheel drive along the wide stretches of sand, you will find yourself completely lost in a world of miles of undestroyed beaches, mangroves, rock formations, palm trees, lagoons and beautiful dunes.

Jeri is the home of some of the most incredible beaches of Brazil. However, the place is still underdeveloped in the sense that there are practically no paved roads, banks, street lights and cars (except dune buggies). The lack of some modern amenities enhances the natural beauty of the place. It seems nature at its best untrammeled by the advent of modern civilization.

Attractions in Jericoacoara
Jeri is an ideal place for sport lovers as well as for those who want to spend their vacation amidst nature’s bounty. Sand boarding, kite surfing and windsurfing are some of the sports which attract tourists to Jericoacoara from all parts of the world. Moreover, you can also enjoy horse riding or spend some time in exploring the dunes, natural pools and rock formations. You can also visit the fishing community of Guriu and small villages like Mangue Seco.

Sand dunes can be seen everywhere which further adds beauty to the place and you can very well choose to swim in the warm water of the sea or in any of the lagoons which is as clear as crystal, surrounded by a national park.

Sunsets are also brilliant in Jeri. After sunset, you can watch the capoeristas practicing their rhythmic martial-arts-meets-dance at the base of the dune. What’s more? You can also learn to dance forró at a club or outdoor bar.
