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.
