Pick up on time at the hotel. Friendly staff. The beaches are really amazing! Morro Branco is stunning! A lot of hidden costs but you can easily avoid them. And the tours are still beautiful!! Very long trip so sleep well the day before. But it’s worth it a lot!!

21 hour day but worth it. Beware if you don’t speak Portuguese. Also the bus seats go too far back so the seat in front of y can end up in your face which I found annoying. Otherwise. Comfortable bus snd 4 wheel drive. Nice staff. And Jeri is amazing!!!

Transfer from Fortaleza to Jericoacoara via the beach to Jericoacoara National Park, a protected area that is incredible to see as part of the route of emotions. Portuguese speaking guide but very understandable and dynamic. A great experience.

The driver only spoke Portuguese, but we managed to find him in the airport. The vehicle was a little cramped for 3 with our suitcases. Despite everything, we arrived safely at the hotel.

Very dedicated staff, too bad they don't speak English.
