A lot of people came here to do wind activity....the wind here is strong and perfect for windsurf in the Jeri bay, but in Preà beach is the home of the kiter.....the wind is much mure strong and there is a kite center that can help you, they have a boat to find you in the waves and a buggy to collect your kite when he fly away alone!

With the buggy tour they take you to a nice quiet lagoon named Lagoa Azul.
In the region it's normal to find this lagoon where the water is mixed by the salted and not salted water, or only not salted, but it's seems to be at the seaside.
The palce it's famouse and you can reach a little beach restaurant passing the lagoon by simply boat...here you cna find fresh seafood, water and other drinks... a little bit more expensive but on the blue!

A must to do in Jeri is a Buggy tour: there are many trips, but for me the best is from Jeri to north on the beach, than the mangrove area, the dunes and the little villages with a incredible lagoa with ammoch in the water, Lagoa Azul with teh calm blue water, than back to south to pass trough Prea beach to see the lazy tree and the kite surfer, after another Lagoa ( I don't rememeber the name)......you have to contract the prize, on a buggy they can carry not more than 3 passengers...for your safe!
...and enjoy the trip

my god! beach, sun, water - watersports of course! horse riding, hiking , anything!
I will be honest.. I love horse riding but horses they had.. I felt sorry for them and didnt ride, looked just too poor!

Jericoacoara has developed a name for itself as a top destination for surfing and more specifically, windsurfing, in Brazil. The main beach in front of the village is very busy, especially in the morning with windsurfers of all levels taking to the water. There are a variety of surf schools where you can hire equipment and avail of lessons (beginners welcome)
Also available are kite surfing lessons. Kite surfing has really taken off in Jeri and has become nearly as popular for the adrenaline junkies lloking for something different to wind surfing.

The village of Jeri is such a unique and unusual place. There are no real roads, just sandy tracks and the only traffic is from beach buggies, the odd 4X4 and motorcycle (slipping and sliding their way down the tracks.) There is little or no street lighting and whatever light that is present is only provided by generators. Jeri is not connected to the national electricity grid due to its' isolated location.
There are six or seven 'streets' which lead down to the beach and smaller sandy alleys link these arteries. Along these streets are quaint restaurants, bars and shops. The shops cater for everything from souvenirs, to local crafts to paintings and Hand crafted art.
The bars are quiet during the day but come to life at night especially at the weekends where the nightlife is great especially down by the beach and through the central streets of the village.
Walking the streets is half the experience of Jeri, there is nowhere quite like it in the world and to just experience the village by walking around the sandy streets is unforgettable in itself.

The main attraction sight in Jeri is Pedra Furada, the arched rock which has become the famous landmark of Jericoacoara. This natural arch of rock is not in Jeri itself but about 10 minutes by beach buggy away from the village. the buggy will drop you at the entrance to the National Park and you can walk rest of the coastal walk to the rock enjoying stunning scenery along the way.
The best is sved til last however as the sight of the rock jutting up from the water with the sun setting behind it is truely amazing. Arriving just before sunset you can go up to the hole in the rock and let the cascade on top of you as the waves hit the rock and thunder through the hole. As the sun starts to set, take up position back from the rock to enjoy the unforgettable sight of the sun setting behind the rock. If you are lucky and come at the right time of year the sun will set through the hole. We came at a good time and the hole in the rock was illuminated beautifully by the setting sun.
One of the most beautiful sights I have ever witnessed.
