Jericoacoara

This picturesque village about 300 kilometers south of Cumbuco was acclaimed by Time Magazine as one of the ten most beautiful beaches in the world. Jericoacoara, the locals call it Jeri, is situated in a protected nature reserve, its most striking features being large white dunes, fresh water and salt water lakes and a varied vegetation such as palm trees, rainforest, rocky areas and natural beaches.

Less then fifteen years ago Jeri was only an isolated fishing village, without roads, electricity, television, radio etcetera. Today this has changed, but mass tourism is still nowhere to be found. Low-rise buildings, no trace of hotel chains, the roads are unpaved and there is no street lighting. You visit romantic Jeri for peace and quiet and its breathtaking nature. One of the highlights is the spectacular sunset .

The three-day excursion to Jeri includes transport to the busstation in Fortaleza, coach return ticket to Jericoacoara, two nights in a pousada and transport back to Laranja Mecanica. This costs 350 Reais (about 100 euros) per person.
