About 3-4 hours west from Fortaleza. Fly to Fortaleza international airport and arrange a 4x4 vehicle transfer to take the 4 hour drive to Jeri. the trip is half the fun, since the last hour is along the beach and between the sand dunes. The kite beach is a short 10-13 minute walk from Jericoacoara town.
There is an excellent nightlife in Jeri that usually goes until dawn. There are a number of bars, clubs and dance spots to boogie the night away. Things usually get rolling around midnight, when everyone gathers on the main street where Cachaca stands are set up mixing cocktails. Here you will find options of live reggae, forro dancing or lounging in the laid back Woopee bar.
06-02-15 Steven: The wind in Jericoacoara is side-OFF-shore, which can be dangerous or costly if you loose control. The kiting is actually on Prea Beach, 15 minutes away from Jericoacoara.
