JERICOACOARA - BRAZIL

JERI, CONSIDERED IN 1994 AS ONE OF THE TOP 10 BEAUTIFUL BEACHES OF THE WORLD, IS AN ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AREA AND NATIONAL PARK SINCE 2002.

Jericoacoara is a beach located 300 km from Fortaleza, capital of the state of Ceará, located in northeastern Brazil. (See JERICOACOARA MAP). The beautiful Jericoacoara or lovingly nicknamed Jeri is isolated by golden dunes that lead into the sea. The former fishing village of Ceará currently has a lot of shops, cafes and gourmet restaurants on Main Street with regional cuisine, national and international. A nice night life where you can enjoy the night of the Planet Jeri, Mama Africa or watch the shooting stars of the sun of the beach bars and, above all meet many many more.

Jericoacoara National Park - Ceara State - Brazil

Jeri is part of its well-deserved reputation for the Good Life Capital and having been selected by The Washington Post as one of the most beautiful beaches in the world to its idyllic scenery (1994). The region is characterized by many dunes that are in constant motion just outside the village. There is actually a park and between dunes, lakes and at least two huge lagoons of crystal clear water in Jijoca named Blue and Paradise Lagoon.

The beaches are centenarians coconut trees that create a paradisiacal setting where you can walk barefoot. Or stroll the quiet lakes formed by rainwater. Next to Jeri are mangroves and rivers that are habitat of seahorses and crabs. Local fishermen cast their nets into the sea, while awaiting the next tide to take them.

Yet the magic remains intact. Much of this mystery is due to the difficult access by car the five sandy streets without street lighting. And the other part is because of his ponds of clear water into the National Park of Jericoacoara. The edge leading to the Pedra Furada. After the setting sun, capoeira gather on the beach and give a real show inviting visitors to participate in the wheel. Learn to dance forró outdoors is an option for those who like. For those who never tires, Jeri has several options for "ballads" that last until dawn.
