**Rating:** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently had the pleasure of visiting Jericoacoara, and it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we arrived, the trip was filled with excitement and fun. The sand dunes were absolutely breathtaking, offering stunning views and exhilarating activities. The lagoons were serene and beautiful, providing the perfect spots for relaxation and admiration of nature's beauty. Every part of the journey was well-organized and exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this tour for anyone seeking an incredible adventure in a picturesque destination. Thank you for a truly amazing experience!

A bus takes you to a buggy company (about 110 r$/person) to discover the beach of Morro Branco with its magnificent cliffs. Some photo stops and refreshments and return to the bus which sends you to the restaurant in Canoa Quebrada where you spend the afternoon freely. The guide is very kind and does not hesitate to explain to you personally if you do not understand Portuguese.

Good organization, pick up at the hotel by Evany, very professional and friendly guide, first stop at Morro Branco with the possibility of buggy riding (very good experience, I recommend), until Praia das Fontes, there very dynamic and humorous guide, then lunch and beach at Canoa Quebrada. all the places were superb with quality time to enjoy the places.

I can recommend the trip, I really enjoyed it. The support was very good. The tour guide was very helpful and gave a lot of information. I also really enjoyed the optional buggy tour and can only recommend it.

Nice activities, only a pity that you can only stay for an hour everywhere
