Lagoa de Tatajuba
The river-mouth lagoon at the end of the western route from Jericoacoara, reached by raft and explored through the dunes, with seafood at lakeside hammock restaurants.
Tatajuba lies within the municipality of Camocim, about 30 km from Jericoacoara, and is the main destination of the one-day western buggy tour. Along the way, you cross the Guriú River by raft, pass through vast dunes, and reach the lagoon, where you can rest in water hammocks and eat crab and fish. The old village of Tatajuba was once buried by moving sand dunes and relocated as a whole, a story guides often tell. The full trip takes about 7 to 8 hours, and water levels are lower at the end of the dry season.
