Lagoa do Paraíso is one of the most famous stops in Jericoacoara: shallow water, hammocks set right in the lagoon, and dunes all around. Getting there is part of the east coast itineraries and requires an accredited vehicle, since the route involves sand and unpaved stretches.
Choose your spot at the lagoon before booking the tour: facilities and crowd levels vary a lot.
What is Lagoa do Paraíso like?
The lagoon has stretches of calm water, light sand, and areas with hammocks. The scenery changes with the season, rainfall, and wind; don’t count on the same depth or color every day.

Combine it with Pedra Furada, Árvore da Preguiça, and other lagoons on the east coast. Don’t book tight schedules: travel on sand depends on the weather and the tide.
