About Jericoacoara (Jeri)
Jijoca de Jericoacoara is a city in the state of Ceará, Brazil, some 300 km west of Fortaleza. Jeri, as it is affectionately known, is a place where pavement does not exist and there is sand under every step. It is the kind of idyllic place where many travelers end up deciding to stay for longer than they had originally planned.
