Your 10-Day Route of Emotions Itinerary
Days 1-2: Fortaleza to Jericoacoara
Your journey begins in Fortaleza, Ceará’s vibrant capital. After arrival and hotel check-in, you’ll transfer to Jericoacoara—affectionately called “Jeri” by locals and travelers alike.
This former fishing village has become one of Brazil’s most beloved destinations, yet it retains its laid-back charm. No paved roads, no streetlights—just sand streets and starlit skies.
Day 3: Jericoacoara – Lagoa do Paraíso
Today brings one of the trip’s highlights: Lagoa do Paraíso (Paradise Lagoon). This off-road excursion takes you to a stunning freshwater lagoon where you can swing over turquoise waters, lounge in floating hammocks, and understand why it earned its name.
As evening approaches, join locals and travelers at Jeri’s famous sunset dune. The ritual is simple but magical—climb the dune, watch the sun dip into the Atlantic, and applaud another perfect day in paradise.
Day 4: Jericoacoara Free Day
Explore at your own pace. Consider an optional excursion to Buraco Azul (Blue Hole), or simply relax on Jeri’s pristine beaches. Rent a buggy, try kitesurfing, or wander the village’s charming sandy streets.
Days 5-6: Parnaíba & the Delta
Crossing into Piauí, you’ll reach Parnaíba—gateway to one of Brazil’s most unique ecosystems. The Parnaíba Delta is the only open-sea river delta in the Americas, where 70 islands create a labyrinth of mangroves, dunes, and wildlife.
Your boat tour reveals why this area is called a “biological sanctuary.” Keep your camera ready for scarlet ibis, caiman, and if you’re lucky, manatees.
Days 7-9: Lençóis Maranhenses – Where Desert Meets Oasis
Welcome to Maranhão and the crown jewel of the Route of Emotions: Lençóis Maranhenses National Park.
This is where the journey transforms into something truly extraordinary.
Day 8: Lagoa Bonita
Trek across endless white dunes to reach Lagoa Bonita (Beautiful Lagoon). Between June and September, rainwater collects in valleys between dunes, creating thousands of pristine lagoons. The contrast of white sand and blue-green water creates landscapes that defy description.
Day 9: Lagoa Azul + Atins
Your adventure continues to Atins, a remote fishing village accessible only by 4×4. Here, the dunes meet the ocean, and you’ll discover a Brazil few tourists ever see—authentic, peaceful, and unforgettable.
Day 10: Transfer to São Luís
Your journey concludes with a transfer to São Luís International Airport, but the memories of the Route of Emotions will last a lifetime.
Package Options: Flexibility for Every Traveler
With Accommodation
Includes comfortable hotels in Fortaleza, Jericoacoara, Parnaíba, and Barreirinhas. Perfect for travelers who want everything arranged.
Without Accommodation
Includes all transfers and tours only. Ideal for budget-conscious travelers or those who prefer booking their own accommodations through hostels or Airbnb.
Both options include the same incredible experiences—you simply choose the level of independence you prefer.
