Audio Guide of Lazy Tree

The Lazy Tree is a natural attraction with no closing time, so you can visit at any time of day. It is located on the road between Jijoca de Jericoacoara and Preá. The most common way to get there is by buggy or quad bike as part of east coast tours toward Blue Lagoon and Paradise Lagoon. You can find good local guides in Jericoacoara who will take you there.

No, access to the Lazy Tree is completely free. It is a natural landmark along the route. The only thing you will pay for is transportation if you book a buggy or quad bike tour, but seeing the tree itself costs nothing.

Usually, 15 to 30 minutes is enough to admire the Lazy Tree, take some photos, and enjoy the surroundings. It is a short but charming stop during tours around the area.

The Lazy Tree, known in Portuguese as Árvore da Preguiça, gets its name from the unusual shape of its trunk and branches, which grow at an angle and almost lie across the sand, as if the tree were lazily stretched out. It is a natural phenomenon caused by strong coastal winds and sandy terrain, which have shaped its curious form over time, turning it into a symbol of nature's resilience.

The best time to visit the Lazy Tree is early in the morning or late in the afternoon. At these times, the light is softer for photos and you avoid the strongest midday heat. There are also fewer people early in the day, allowing you to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. If you go near sunset, the golden light over the sand and the tree is magical.

Access to the Lazy Tree can be a bit difficult for people with reduced mobility, as it is located in an area of dunes and loose sand. Although you can reach a certain point by vehicle, such as a buggy or quad bike, you still need to walk a few meters across the sand to get close to the tree itself. There are no ramps or paved paths. It is recommended to assess the situation and, if necessary, ask local guides for assistance.

The Lazy Tree is part of the East Coast route of Jericoacoara. Nearby, you can visit beautiful spots such as Paradise Lagoon and Blue Lagoon, perfect for swimming and relaxing in hammocks over the water. It is also common to visit Holed Rock, the main symbol of Jericoacoara, although this one is on the West Coast route.

Of course. I recommend bringing sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat, as the sun in Jericoacoara is intense. Wear light clothing and comfortable footwear for walking on the sand. Do not forget your camera to capture the unique beauty of this tree and the surrounding views. If you are going with a tour, they will give you time to explore, but make sure you do not miss that iconic photo.
