Jericoacoara is a quiet fishing village located on the northeastern coast of Brazil, in the state of Ceara, 300kms West of Fortaleza, which places it almost exactly on the equator(2o47' 38" S / 40o31' 0'' W). The town has gained fame as being one of the most beautiful and lengthy beaches in the world, surrounded by sand dunes and freshwater lagoons - drawing people from all over the world to her shores.
In 1984 federal law declared Jericoacoara an "Environment Protection Area" (APA), and in 2002 the area reached the top Brazilian status of environment protection becoming a National Park.
It became popular amongst backpackers and more adventurous travelers seeking unknown and unusual locations.
In 1984, the "Washington Post Magazine" named Jericoacoara as one of the 10 most beautiful beaches in the world. Also by the New York Time in the 90's
Since then, the small fishing village has been slowly growing. However, thanks to building limitations, you will not find massive buildings or hotels.
There are several versions on the origin of "Jericoacoara". The most probable is that it is a combination of words from the indigenous Tupi-Guarani language. Yuruco (hole) + cuara (turtle), meaning "hole of the turtles", which refers to the fact that Jericoacoara was and is where sea turtles come to dig holes where they can lay their eggs. However, some fishermen say that the name is inspired by the "serrote" hill that stands next to the village (where the lighthouse is situated). When seen from out at sea, the hill resembles an alligator, which is called a "Jacarequara". One can see how over the years the word for alligator could have evolved into Jericoacoara. Take your pick, either or understandable.
