Make it quick..
When tourists visit Brazil, they tend to stick to the southern parts of the country. However, after doing some research, we discovered a place called Jericoacoara. Just from the pictures alone, we decided that Northern Brazil needed a visit!
Jeri is otherwise known as the Brazilian Maldives and it is for good reason.
One of the most exciting parts about visiting Jeri is the hour-long journey to get there! This journey takes you through mixed terrains and over towering sand dunes. Before eventually revealing the hidden paradise that lies behind the walls of sand!
The Little Piece of Paradise in Northern Brazil
We felt completely detached from the rest of the world in this little haven. Here, there is no such thing as chain stores or restaurants, rush hour or even tarmac roads! As you can imagine, with a place where every road is just sand, it is completely acceptable to walk everywhere barefoot. Consequently, it was so lovely to constantly get to enjoy the sand between our toes.
Every restaurant here looks like it’s been shipped straight from the set of a romantic movie. Even going for ice cream will feel like you’re stepping into the scene of your proposal. To add to the ambience, the majority of the areas where you’ll find the shops and restaurants are cut off to motor vehicles. For the most part, motor vehicles are only ATV's and buggies. However, it's lovely to enjoy the sandy alley’s winding through all the boutique shops in peace.
The Nightlife
If you don’t want it to be, Jericoacoara isn’t just all bare feet and tranquillity, however. There are a few bars and clubs here if you’re getting restless in your hammock at night. Every Friday and Saturday night, there is a line of cocktail stands leading up to the beach serving fresh Caipirinha’s (Caipi’s). In addition, you'll also find a DJ here! There is also San Antonio bakery, which opens at 2am if you’re needing something to soak up all those Caipi’s. Or if you just wake up in the middle of the night and feel peckish!
Fun Activities!
Jericoacoara has a beach in the village but the main attraction lies within the dunes and lagoons. There are two main excursions that can be done in Jeri; one of the East and one of West, either by buggy or ATV.
The East side is for those who are wanting a relaxing day out in true paradise. Due to having the opportunity to chill by the filtered lagoons. If you Google Jericoacoara, the East is what you'll see. Including the hammocks placed in crystal clear waters.
The West side is for those looking for a bit more activity. Here you will ride through the dunes and still have the opportunity to relax in the lagoons but these ones aren’t filtered, although still wonderful. To get the adrenaline pumping, you can also zip line straight into a lagoon! We did this tour with Trilha do Jerico and can’t recommend them enough. They are very professional and tech savvy Roberto, comes equipped with a GoPro and Drone to catch footage of your day. Be prepared with a USB drive so he can provide you with amazing video footage!
Where do you go from here?!
As if Jeri isn’t amazing enough, a 5 hour journey in a 4x4 will bring you to the town of Atins or Barreirinhas. Here you can do an excursion to the natural wonder that is the National Park Lençóis Maranhenses. We think pictures speak for this beauty more than words but we can say that this is one of the most beautiful places we have ever seen and is truly breathtaking.
Jeri, we will miss you dearly and hope to return some day soon!
