It’s wonderful to able to smile and sing without worrying! Because being happy is something easy. The most important things in life are simple but essential. Getting to know the Northeast is easy. You really have to venture out to see the wonders of the North-east!

The North-east is one of the most popular holiday destinations, attracting tourists from all over the world. The pleasant regional climate attracts visitors all year round. Among the principal attractions are the beaches, (most of which are surrounded by dunes), the North-eastern food, with its rich selection of seafood and finally the North-east itself, famous for its hospitality.

The North-eastern beaches are among the most popular and most frequently visited in the world. Destinations such as Jericoacoara, Pipa, Canoa Quebrada, are popular with visitors, many of whom come here every year. And then there are the more adventurous types that end up living here. The wonderful regional climate is good for tourism, as the sky is always clear, and even in the rainy season it is still possible to enjoy yourself, as the rain does not usually last for more than two hours a day.

Sports like surfing, kite surfing, windsurfing and sand boarding are all very popular among locals and visitors alike, and the ocean waves and the sand dunes are a perfect setting to simply enjoy nature or to take part in some of these sports. Other activities you can try include Buggy-rides, boating and horse riding.

The North-east radiates flavour, colour and happiness, traits which manifest themselves in the culture, in the cuisine, and in the people themselves. There are few people in the world with broader smiles than those in the Northeast; maybe it’s because of the sun, the sea-breeze, or a table full of seafood, or maybe it’s because of the wonderful Caipirinha! You can be certain that here you will always come across optimistic good cheer here.

Not that everything is perfect. Not at all. There are many fishing villages, indigenous reserves, which live very precariously. But despite all the adversities that life deals these people, there is something that nobody could steal from them – the enjoyment of being alive!

Visit the northeast and discover the culture of these people. Their roots, combined with the European influences that have sustained them over the years. A place of pure hybrids! These are the accolades and stories that make north-eastern Brazil a unique place.

One of the greatest treats is our Dunes & Waves package. We organize an incredible itinerary for those who want to explore the Northeast. The real Northeast. We present the idea of a living landscape, together with the local culture of each region, because we understand that every place has its own unique history.

Dunas e Ondas (Dunes and Waves) is the tour that explores the following regions: Fortaleza, the Capital City of Ceará; Jericoacoara, which was once voted one of the most beautiful beaches in the world; the Parnaíba Delta, the only river delta in the whole of the Americas; Lençóis Maranhenses, the desert oasis in northeast Brazil and São Luís, the Capital City of Maranhão State. Six to eight days of adventure and being immersed in the culture of each village. In addition to simply providing you with an excellent service, we will give you with something immeasurable, an unbelievable experience for you and your family.

Dunas & Ondas takes you along the route of tourism’s “Rota das Emoções”, which was awarded by the Ministry of Tourism in 2009 for the best Tourist Route in Brazil.

Let’s look at the Dunas & Ondas itinerary.

Fortaleza: The excitement starts the moment you set foot in the Capital of Ceará. Also known as Terra da Luz, Fortaleza is sunny virtually the whole year round, and is the starting point for various other destinations.

 

Jericoacoara: The village of Jeri is less than 200 miles from Fortaleza, the last 12 of which are on un-metalled roads. Access to the village is only possible by using a four wheel drive. Jericoacoara is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world.

 

The Parnaíba Delta: Regarded as one of the most beautiful landscapes ever seen by man, as well as being the third largest river delta in the world which opens onto the open sea. Most parts of the Delta are inhabited by the indigenous populations. The region does not have an organized tourist route. Its fauna and flora are very similar to those of the Amazon. What differs between the two destinations is the way in which each region is presented. The Parnaíba Delta is more of a reality; it has no story-book scenarios. We are a benchmark with regard to the quality of service we provide in the Delta.

 

Lençóis Maranhenses: The Lençóis Maranhenses National Park is located on the semi-arid coastal region in the north of the State of Maranhão, just over 160 miles from the State Capital São Luís. The landscape of the Lençóis desert is very impressive.

 

São Luís: The capital of Maranhão has a very great historical influence. The city preserves the colonial architecture of its past, with the luxurious prosperity of the of São Luís society which existed in the middle of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Let’s explore the historical centre and get to know the legacy bequeathed to us by the Portuguese.
