Brazil has become synonymous with beach life. The population
clings to the country's 5,000 miles of coastline, but it is
possible to find serenely remote places, such as Jericoacoara
in the northern state of Ceará. Undiscovered by tourist
hoards, Jericoacoara was declared an 'Environmental Protection
Area' in 1984.
CLIMATE
The Brazilian winter lasts from June to August. In summer,
December to February, temperatures can reach as high as 40ºC,
but in April it's not too scorching.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Join locals for a fish feast
The fishing community is poor but hospitable, and delicious
dishes are prepared from the day's catch.
- Go windsurfing
Jericoacoara is renowned as the greatest place for windsurfing
in the Ceará state. Catch the African trade winds in
your sail.
- Spectacular sunsets
The sand-dunes overlooking the beach are the prime vantage
point for watching the sunset. You can also hire horses locally
and gallop along the beach. |
