Audio Guide of the Lagoon Trail

The Lagoon Trail is a natural area without fixed opening or closing hours, but it is generally visited during daylight hours. The most common way to get there is by buggy or 4x4 from the village of Jericoacoara, often as part of a tour. Be sure to hire a local guide for a safe and enriching experience.

Access to the Lagoon Trail itself is free. However, transportation services to get there (buggies or 4x4 vehicles) and any extra activities you may do at the lagoons (such as renting hammocks or kayaks) do have a cost. We recommend bringing some cash for these expenses.

To fully enjoy the Lagoon Trail, most visitors spend between 3 and 5 hours. This includes travel time, enjoying the lagoons, relaxing in the hammocks, taking photographs, and perhaps having lunch at one of the local restaurants. A full lagoon tour is usually half a day.

More than a specific story or cultural meaning, the importance of Jericoacoara's lagoons, such as the famous Paradise Lagoon or Blue Lagoon, lies in their incredible natural beauty and unique ecosystem. They are part of Jericoacoara National Park, an environmental protection area that preserves dunes, mangroves, and freshwater lagoons, offering a spectacular contrast with the sea.

The best time to visit is during the dry season, from July to December, when the lagoons are at their best and the weather is sunny. The best time of day is in the morning to avoid the crowds and enjoy the soft light, or late in the afternoon to admire the sunset, which is spectacular in Jericoacoara.

Due to the sandy terrain and the means of transport used, such as buggies, accessibility for people with reduced mobility or wheelchairs may be limited. While it is possible to reach some areas with assistance, the full trail experience and its activities may be challenging. We recommend checking with local tour agencies that offer adapted solutions.

Jericoacoara is full of wonders. Very close to the lagoons, you can explore Holed Rock, an iconic rock arch. We also encourage you to climb the Sunset Dune for an unforgettable sunset, and enjoy the coastal beaches, such as Jericoacoara Beach itself. There is adventure in every corner!

Absolutely. First, bring sunscreen, insect repellent, sunglasses, and a hat or cap. Do not forget your camera and a bottle of water. If you plan to swim, bring your swimsuit and a towel. Rent a buggy with an experienced driver for a safe and fun adventure. And finally, relax and enjoy the magic of the place!
