Jericoacoara is a remote dune-backed village inside a national park, reached only by 4x4 across the sand, and one of Brazil's most magical kite destinations. The kite beach runs right off the village, with steady cross-shore trades blowing almost every day in season and a string of lagoons and downwind runs opening up the wider Ceará coast.
