Sand leaps against the windshield as the UTV surges forward, the engine growling beneath a sky that seems to push the wind across the coast. In a matter of minutes the packed streets of Jeri give way to a landscape that still behaves like a living thing — dunes that shift under tire and tide, lagoons that sit like blue mirrors, and a coastline that dares you to go farther.
This region on Ceará’s northwest coast grew from a fishing settlement into a draw for travelers chasing light, wind and wide horizons. Geologically, the shore is young: river-borne sand, coastal dunes and tidal lagoons sculpted by seasonal trade winds and the nearby delta of the Jaguaribe. Culturally, Jeri mixes traditional northeastern fishing communities with a relaxed surf-and-kite crowd; roadside stalls sell tapioca and fresh coconut between pousadas and artisan shops.
On the East route you'll thread past the leaning Árvore da Preguiça, Praia do Preá and glassy Lagoa do Paraíso; the West route crosses a ferry, passes through dry mangrove and Tatajuba’s hollowed dunes before rejoining the beach. Stops are purposeful — photo turns, short walks, and time to wade in blue lagoons.
Practical edge: these are high-performance buggies guided by a lead motorcycle, so listen to the guide, secure loose items, and expect wind and sand. Bring sun protection, a lightweight wind layer, and a waterproof bag for phones. Tours run about 2–5 hours; choose morning or late afternoon to avoid the strongest sun and catch the best light for photos.

Jericoacoara evolved from a 19th-century fishing village; its dunes and lagoons formed over centuries from riverine sand deposits and coastal currents.
The area sits near Jericoacoara National Park boundaries; stick to marked tracks to protect dune vegetation and avoid disturbing nesting shorebirds.
