Árvore da Preguiça
A tree bent almost flat by constant trade winds, and a must-stop photo spot on Jericoacoara's eastern buggy tours.
This tree stands on the coast between Jericoacoara village and Preá Beach. Strong northeast trade winds blow here year-round, so its trunk has grown almost flat along the sand in one direction, which gives it the name Lazy Tree. Visitors usually stop for 10 to 15 minutes on eastern buggy or dune buggy tours to take photos. The tree is fragile, so do not climb on it or sit on its branches.
