Jericoacoara

After a 29-hour bus trip including 1h on a vintage bus equipped for sand driving, we got to Jericoacoara. It consists in a little but touristy village fully built on the sand and surrounded by dunes that are protected by the National park designation.

Another must-do is watching the sunset (together with a few hundred people...) on the dedicated dune, logically called "Duna do pôr do sol":

 A particularity of all these lakes is that they have been created by the rain and are therefore filled with freshwater. We too were freshpeople:
