South America » Brazil » Ceará » Jericoacoara July 15th 2006

yesterday was my last day in the sate of cleara after 3 nights in foteleza inwhich i ate some cool food, went to the beach and experianced some intesting nightlife as well as watching the world cup final (lets face it it was crap) but it was quite intesting watching the barman lose a bet with one of his customers on penalties. jeri is a cool place but i think it has been slightly tarnished recently with the amount of money thats been invested in it. I learnt in jeri some new Portugese words for example chave is key, as i lost mine, the Pousada owners were realy nice and didn´t charge me which was cool. I am now in Natal in a English medievil themed hostel and bar am going to sink afew in the ... read more

Pour contraster avec la forêt amazonienne, j´ai pris mon gros backpack pour partir à l´aventure sur la côte nord est du Brésil. En moins de 10 jours, j´ai parcouru près de 1300 km en longeant le littoral: Belèm, Ihla de Marajo, São Luis, Barrerinhas, Atins, Paulina Neves, Parnaiba puis Jericoacoara. Belém, état du Pará, 1,5 millions d´habitants, grande ville, grand port, inintéressant à mon goût donc cap sur Ihla de Marajo, une île à l´embouchure du fleuve Amazone et de l´Atlantique. Soure, ville principale de l´île est animée de concerts de samba, de pagode le soir, bien plus agréable que la chaleur étouffante de Belém. Aussi grande que la Suisse, à Ihla de Marajo on y fait aussi du fromage mais avec le lait des buffalos d´eau. Ces gros boeufs font partie de la vie quotidienne ... read more

So after five days lying down in a hammocks and lying down some more in Belem watching Englands desperate win against Paraguay and watching a street carnival we decide to head off on the route to the coast, to lie down on the beach. After a few buses of high quality, and cost, we then get a 4x4 across an hour of sand dunes before arriving at our destination of Jericoacoara, which had been described by an over excitable Isreali as ´a dream´. After a short stroll around we can see why it has this reputation, the places is tiny and is made up of about 3 roads of sand all leading to the beach, these roads only have hostels, which are hammock fronted, and bars/restaurants which all look amazing and very chilled out. The next ... read more

South America » Brazil » Ceará » Jericoacoara January 21st 2006

From Recife we traveled to Natal and then onto Fortelaza, both cities are based on tourism offering awesome beaches and night life. Not reallytoo much to say other than we spent a lot of time on the beach or out in the evening, sadly though not with any other gringos as it seems impossible to find them. The next big destination was jericoacoara which should really be renamed as the place of wana be pirates and hippies. Jeri is a wierd kind of a place, it takes over an hour in a 4x4 traveling over beaches dirt tracks and sand dunes to get there. When you get there you are greeted by a large village, made up of hotels, hostels, bars and restauraunts. There are no roads as such just streets of sand. We spent 4 ... read more

So having had enough of city living - we decided that it was time to leave Fortaleza and head out to Jericoacoara - 4 hours up the coast by a mixture of mini-bus and 4x4. Our guide describes Jeri as a small , tranquil beach villiage - and it is really beautiful with the most amazing stars at night - the only problem being that it did seem to be a bit of a tourist trap with expensive boutiques lining the sandy streets. Having said that it shouldnt take away the beauty of the place - huge sand dunes (amazing for watching the sunset from) , calm seas (great for swimming) and animals wondering all over the place - a great place to chill. We also met some great people who were staying at the same ... read more
