This was trip I took last month to Brazil.
Place is sick. Seems like wind blows EVERYDAY from 10 A-->after sunset.
Season is Sept to Dec.
The state is Ceara, Brazil .
Airport code FOR
Spots visited: Cumbuco, Prea, Mundau, Flexieras, Jericoacoara, and Tatajuba

Excuse the bumpy kiting footage. I was handholding a small camera. No mount this trip.

Enjoy

We really enjoyed your video. We are heading to Brazil in December and spending time in Cumbuco and Jericoacoara as well. Our first time there. Would be nice to visit with you to get some insight on the place. Ben and Vickie

Hey Ben & Vickie,

PM sent.

-Also check out trip report I wrote on another post. It has a lot more logistical stuff that you will find helpful.

When in Jeri have dinner at Chili Beach one night. Its about $ 30-40 / person but well worth it. Make sure you get there before sunset. Its a pristine spot. Have the buggy drivers take you there. Its tucked into a small street on edge of town. They have 4 guest rooms there also but ultra expensive ( $ 450/ night and up) . Link -> http://www.chilibeach.com/
Plenty of other options for more affordable lodging.
Dec. is height of the season there so it will be a bit more crowded, but no bad this year due to lousy economy in europe also. 90 % of travelers I met were euros. 5 % brazilians, 5 % south americans.

Its windy as hell there so bring small kites esp. in Prea and Jeri.

Transport is expensive so I chose to hire drivers and taxis to save cash. It was still not cheap but saved me some cash so I could get in on dune buggy downwinders most everyday.

Wish I was going back with you guys !

cheers,

ea

O MEU PORTUGUÊS é fraca. posso entender quase tudo. E posso falar um pouco. suficiente para contornar porque eu falo como minha primeira língua espanhola.
Confused

Muitas coisas , y gente boas en Brazil !!
