The
isolated, palm-lined beach paradise of Jericoacoara
may only be reached by driving through miles of soft
sand. When you arrive, you'll discover miles of
deserted beaches and coconut trees surrounding this
small village of fishermen. You have to get there by
four-wheel drive, but its remoteness only adds to
its tranquility. Here, you can hike, ride horseback
or even go windsurfing to your heart's content.
After the unforgettable sunset, the streets of the
town are illuminated by only the moon and the stars.
There's no place else like it in the world.

Detailed itinerary

Optional excursions
Enjoy a free day in Fortaleza. The city of Fortaleza
is an active center of commerce and fishing in
Brazil's northeastern state of Cearį. Although it
was not colonized until the early 1600s, Portuguese
explorers landed here in 1500. The Dutch established
a stronghold with the construction of Schoonenborch
fortress, but control of the settlement at Fortaleza
teetered between the Portuguese, Indians and Dutch
several times in the 1600s. The town later became a
trading post for cattle farms that were established
in Cearį§³ interior. Nowadays, Fortaleza is used as
a jumping-off point for many serene palm-lined
beaches that the northeast is known for. The lively
Praia da Iracema and Praia do Meireles are excellent
choices for going out; the beaches in Fortaleza are
known more for their nightlife than for soaking up
sun and surf. Overnight at Othon Imperial.

order to preserve its environmental integrity. The
beaches, palm trees, dunes, reefs and rocky
outcroppings are truly a sight to behold.
Jericoacoara, or Jeri, as it is sometimes called,
takes its peculiar name from the Tupi-Guarani words
