Major city · Brazil
Tatajuba
Visit Tatajuba as a half‑day stop when traveling between Jericoacoara and Camocim; 3–4 h total, no overnight needed.
Tatajuba is a tiny village in Ceará known for moving sand dunes that have forced the settlement to relocate. It is reachable by daily 4×4 beach shuttles from Camocim in the morning and Jericoacoara in the afternoon. The village is walkable, with a few small inns and a single pizzeria, making it suitable for a short visit rather than a base.

- South America ↗A yellow fever certificate is required on arrival in French Guiana, and asked for on some routes into Bolivia, Paraguay, Suriname and Guyana, or when arriving from Amazon areas — vaccinate at least 10 days before travel and carry the card.
- South America ↗Overnight buses are the norm in Argentina, Chile and Peru, but pick top-tier companies and keep valuables on your body; on-board thefts from overhead racks are the common loss.
- Brazil ↗US, Canadian and Australian citizens need an e-visa (about US$81 — check) applied for online at the official VFS portal before travel; EU and UK citizens do not. Check your passport with Brazil's Ministry of Foreign Affairs before booking.
- Brazil ↗Yellow fever vaccination is recommended for many areas, including the Amazon and Pantanal; check with a travel clinic at least 10 days before travel.
- Brazil ↗Keep your phone out of sight in the street and on beaches; phone theft is the most common crime against visitors in big cities.
- Brazil ↗Carnival 2027 runs about 5–10 February (Tuesday 9 February; Salvador from 4 February): book Rio, Salvador and Recife/Olinda months ahead or avoid those dates.
