Touring around Jericoacoara, in Ceará, is something extraordinary. Surrounded by 70 islands of the only delta that disembogues into the open sea of the Americas and the dunes of Jeri, you can do exciting off-road tracks, boat trips and hiking around parks and beaches that seem that came out of a dream.
Jeri, the nickname chosen by the locals, is becoming one of the most popular destinations of the Brazilian Northeast. The beach, which is one of the most beautiful of the country, has great options of accommodation and restaurants. The lagoons are also amazing: Azul and Paraíso have transparent water and are perfect for bathing, aquatic sports and even snorkeling.
It’s the perfect combination: close to the green water that it looks painted, you can see dunes of very clear sands and beautiful falésias. Touring around the region is an adventure. One of the most beautiful places of the country can be visited by bugue, horse, on foot or by boat.

Even with a drier weather, the Caatinga is one of the most beautiful and expressive Brazilian biomes. Its extraordinary twisted trees and vegetation: with bushes that are home for an incredible variety of animal species. During the rainy season, the scenery changes, with green leaves and flowers of different colors.
The Caatinga is so diverse that 327 species, including mammals and birds, only exist there. The vegetation is also important: there are almost 330 species that only grow there. The astonishing landscape has also many rivulets, perfect for bathing while trekking.
This kind of biome is only found in Brazil and occupies around 10% of the Brazilian territory. Because of the high biodiversity, the Caatinga is considered a rich genetic bank.
In this biome, that extends from the North of Minas Gerais up to the Northeast states, such as Ceará and Rio Grande do Norte, you can find Preás (little rodent also know as guinea pig), deers, armadillos, monkeys, and, if you’re lucky, the Ariranha-azul, a rare bird threatened with extinction.
