About this experience
Lagoinha, Ceará, is a perfect invitation for tourists who are looking for sunny days and fresh water in a quieter region, far from the hustle and bustle of northeastern Brazil.
In addition to offering a quieter atmosphere, this beach in Ceará is famous for its beautiful landscapes, freshwater lagoons, cliffs, coconut trees and a green sea, which leaves its visitors fascinated.
Lagoinha, which is considered one of the best beaches in Brazil, is a district in the municipality of Paraipaba, west of Ceará, towards Jericoacoara. It's one of those peaceful places that we think doesn't even exist anymore. Where local businesses close for lunch and peace is the watchword.

The State of Ceará is the only region where it is not mandatory for the tour guide to have more than one language. Our guides speak fluent Portuguese and Spanish and basic English. Remembering that ours is a tour based on an experience in contact with nature and wonderful beaches, we guarantee an excellent activity for each of our customers.
The guide provides the main information in three languages (Portuguese, English and Spanish), however, the rest of the crew and people involved in the activity speak predominantly Portuguese.
On days with a greater influx of tourists or in the presence of especially heavy traffic conditions, we can adopt the use of specific meeting points for picking up customers. This choice is made to ensure a more efficient organization of the tour, reducing the waiting times and inconveniences caused by traffic. Therefore, we invite our customers to read this note carefully to be informed and prepared.
