East Coast Day Tour — Jericoacoara, Brazil
Jericoacoara East Coast Tour: Sloth Tree, Lagoa do Paraíso and the Coastal Dunes
A full-day journey through lagoons, dunes, and coastal villages along Jeri's most scenic eastern shore.
The Jericoacoara East Coast Tour takes travelers through a sequence of natural landmarks that define the landscape of this remote corner of Ceará. From a wind-sculpted tree to hammock-filled freshwater lagoons, the route covers roughly seven and a half hours of exploration at an easy pace suited to all fitness levels.
The tour moves east from Jericoacoara along a coastline where villages remain unhurried and ecosystems shift between dune fields, tidal flats, and crystalline lagoons. Each stop offers a distinct experience, whether observing a botanical curiosity shaped by Atlantic trade winds or floating in clear water surrounded by untouched dune scenery.
Lagoa do Paraíso serves as the centerpiece of the day, a freshwater lagoon renowned for its shallow turquoise waters and the rows of hammocks anchored just below the surface. The structure around the lagoon keeps a deliberately rustic character while providing basic comfort for visitors who want to linger.
Prea Beach, a quieter village adjoining Jericoacoara, and the Blue Hole — a vivid natural pool — round out the itinerary with opportunities for swimming and photography in settings that still see relatively modest visitor numbers compared to the main beaches of Jeri.
Tour Highlights
Observe the Sloth Tree, a plant that grew horizontally due to the region's persistent strong winds, creating a striking natural silhouette.
Swim and relax at Lagoa do Paraíso, the celebrated freshwater lagoon where hammocks rest in the middle of shallow, clear waters.
Explore the coastal dunes of Jericoacoara, a vast landscape of rolling sand hills that frames the Atlantic horizon.
Take a dip at the Blue Hole, a visually striking natural pool that offers calm, clear water ideal for swimming and photography.
Visit Praia do Preá, a tranquil coastal village flanked by lagoons with crystalline waters and largely untouched natural surroundings.
Stop at Lagun Beach, one of the newest points of interest along the Jeri coastline, with scenic views and photographic appeal.
Itinerary
1
Sloth Tree (Árvore da Preguiça)
The tour begins with a stop at the Sloth Tree, a tree that grew lying down rather than upright due to the relentless coastal winds of the region. Travelers have time to observe the formation and take photographs of this unusual botanical landmark.
2
Praia do Preá
The route continues to Prea Beach, a small and peaceful village neighboring Jericoacoara. The area is surrounded by lagoons with clear, still waters and offers a quieter pace than the main town.
3
Blue Hole and Lagun Beach
A swim stop is made at the Blue Hole, a natural freshwater pool with vivid coloring set against dune scenery. From here the group moves to Lagun Beach, one of the more recently discovered scenic spots along this stretch of coastline.
4
Dunes of Jericoacoara
The iconic dune fields of Jericoacoara form the backdrop for this stage of the tour. The sand formations rise into broad ridges that offer panoramic views over the coastline and the surrounding vegetation.
5
Lagoa do Paraíso
The final and longest stop is at Lagoa do Paraíso, where travelers can rest in hammocks suspended in the lagoon's shallow freshwater. The site retains a rustic character while accommodating visitors with basic amenities and an unhurried atmosphere.

This tour operates along the eastern coastline of Jericoacoara, a federally protected national park municipality located in the state of Ceará, in northeastern Brazil. The route connects Jericoacoara village to Praia do Preá, Lagun Beach, the coastal dune fields, and Lagoa do Paraíso — a freshwater lagoon situated roughly 18 kilometers east of Jeri's main beach. The region sits within the Jericoacoara National Park buffer zone and is characterized by shifting sand dunes, wind-carved vegetation, seasonal lagoons fed by rainwater and groundwater, and a semi-arid coastline swept by the Northeast Trade Winds. Lagoa do Paraíso is administratively part of the municipality of Cruz, Ceará. The area is accessible primarily via 4x4 vehicle along sandy tracks, and it draws significant domestic and international tourism due to its UNESCO-recognized environmental importance and the visual drama of its dune-lagoon landscape.
