# 1 Prea, Lagoa Azul y Lagoa Paraiso - 40 km

The lagoons are close to Preá. This rather relaxed excursion will start with a buggy drive up the "Heart dune" from where you will apreciate panoramic view of the Ocean, the National Parc, and your next stop, Lagoa Azul (Blue Lagoon).

This is a great spot to relax, read a book while dipping your toes in cool water and enjoy sea-food snacks & drinks. Those seeking a little action can rent kayaks or snorkeling gear and go explore the cristal clear waters.

And for those who want to see more, Lagoa Paraiso (also called Lagoa de Jijoca) can be added to the excursion, it will include a stop for drinks on the way around the lake. The trip back to Vila Prea will be via the National Parc.

This tour will show you the impact of the National Parc on the area as well as the beauty and variety of protected wildlife. First we will stop at the intriguing rock formation that is the Pedra Furada, and check-out vistas of the coastline from the top of the 'Serrotte'.

Then we will drive to Guriu, where we will drive the buggy onto a barge and go up-river through the mangroves to find the sea-horses and look out for other marine life.

On the way back, we will stop in Jericoacoara where you can walk around the town, climb the Duna Po Do Sol for the sunset and watch 'capoeira' on the beach just afterwards..

This adventurous dune buggy tour will take you along Jericoacoara, through the National Park's sand dunes, across rivers and along endless beaches to Tatajuba lake.

You will drive by the sand dunes that buried the old village years ago, then through Nova Tatajuba which is the new city where the people relocated. You you will drive between the petrified dunes then up the largest dunes of the park to finally end at the remote lake, where fresh sea-food, tropical juices and caipirinhas are available!

Note: Setting up the time for this excursion will depend on the tides.
