Ecoturism:One of the
most famous attractions of Ceara is found
on the beach of Jericoacoara, It is called
Pedra Furada or Pierced Rock, a hard and unending
work created by winds, ocean and time. In
July, tourists that visit this rock, can observe
the sun appearing through the middle of the
tunnel of this enormous rock that erosion
has sculptured during many years.
The Pedra Furada can ve
visited during low tide, walking along Malhada
and Pontal beaches. It is a beautiful 3km
walk. Along the way, the guides point out
to the tourists the other famous rock formations
such as la Tartauga and Jacare (the Turtle
and the Alligator) And don’t forget
stop to take a refreshing plunge in the ocean.
After a day: in the sun enjoying the emotions that
one of the most beautiful beaches in the world
can offer, it is time to get ready for the
night action in Jericoacoara. The program
can begin atop the high dune (Duna por do
sol) to watch the spectacular sun set into
the ocean. Many tourists meet there to see
the day end. When night falls over Jericoarcoara,
it’s time to choose which type of music
you want to listen to, and what you would
like to drink and eat. Dancing is top billing.
The small bars and establihments that offer
parties, please the visiters with all styles
and rhythms, the standouts being reggae and
forro. Electronic music has it’s space
also. It’s worth while to drink a capirinha
made of distilled sugar cane juice, lemon,
sugar and ice. At the end of the evening,
your energy can be recuperated at the Pan
de la Madrugada and the Panaderia San Francisco,
which open at 3 am to the delight of all night
party people.
