The experience

You drive a buggy through the protected landscape around Jericoacoara, stopping at four distinct natural sites. The sloth tree is the first landmark: a known gathering spot where the animals rest. From there the route moves to Buraco Azul and Lagoa do Paraíso, two lagoons with different water colors, then to Praia Prea, a white-sand beach, and finishes at Amancio Dune in the national park before returning to town. At each place you choose how long to stay, so the pace is entirely yours.

The buggy seats up to four people, and a guide who speaks Spanish or Portuguese travels with you. The operator emphasizes personalized service and flexible timing: the full route runs 6 hours, but the stops are not fixed. Pickup from your accommodation is included. Infants can ride on an adult's lap, and the terrain suits all fitness levels.
