Attractions Jericoacoara - Attractions region Jericoacoara

Jericoacoara is located in the northeast of Brazil, in Ceará state, about 300 km from Fortaleza. Until the mid-80s it was only a small fishing village, lost among the dunes and isolated of the civilization. After tourism started, the fame of Jeri, as it is known, has crossed oceans, and it has been chosen as one of the 10 best beaches in the world.

Although it is totally discovered by tourists, it keeps characteristics of a small fishermen's village. It is almost isolated and the access depends on special vehicles to overcome kilometers of pathways on sands that separate it from the nearest road. Streets don't have pavement and the energy electric net is recent.

To maintain the control on environment, a large area around the village became national park. Jeri has a peaceful, laid-back atmosphere. It's a great place to be in touch with nature, to practice adventure sports and to feel in paradise. At night, apart from watching the incredible sunset from "Sunset Dune", you can enjoy the amazing starry sky and the nightlife.
