Kite & the Parnaíba Delta

Guide to Barra Grande, Piauí: the kitesurf capital of the Delta do Parnaíba. Flat water, downwinds, Delta tours and the manatees of Cajueiro da Praia.

Manatees & Cajueiro Rei

Cajueiro da Praia (PI): the only open-ocean manatee monitoring, sailing canoe tours, the Cajueiro Rei, and deserted beaches near Barra Grande.

Ibis Roost, 30 min by Boat

The Revoada dos Guarás is the Delta's most thrilling spectacle: at dusk, hundreds of scarlet ibises arrive in crimson clouds to roost in the mangrove trees. Second-largest island in the Parnaíba Delta, 17,000 hectares of untouched ecosystems.

8 Beaches Along 46 km of Coast

Luís Correia has 46 km of coastline with eight radically different beaches — from wave kite at Arrombado to natural pools at Maramar — plus the infrastructure of a real city just 15 km from Parnaíba airport.

Flat-Water Kite

Macapá is a small fishing village at the mouth of the Camurupim River, on the coast of Piauí — and the purest flat water kite spot on the corridor between Luís Correia and Barra Grande.

From the Delta to the Lençóis

22-27 km from Jeri, Low Tide Only

Barrinha de Baixo is the most remote point on Jericoacoara's East Side — a fishing village swallowed by dunes, accessible only at low tide, that became a reference for kitesurfing and absolute silence in Ceará.

Ceará's Last Beach, 5 Rivers

Bitupitá is the last beach in Ceará, on the border with Piauí: 5 rivers empty into a single point, forming the largest mangrove on the Ceará coast.

Tatajuba 25 km, Kite on the Coreaú

Camocim: the main town with urban services between Jericoacoara and Barra Grande — gateway to Tatajuba, kite on the Coreaú delta, and deserted beaches.

10 km from Jeri, Flat & Mangue Seco

Guriú is a small fishing village 30 minutes from Jeri — authentic, quiet, and home to the best flat water for kitesurfing in the region. Mangue Seco, seahorses, and the ferry crossing over the Guriú River make it a must-stop on the Rota das Emoções.

Up to 9 Months of Wind

Icaraizinho is what Jericoacoara was 20 years ago — a genuine international kite community with up to 9 months of wind, the hidden Lagoa dos Patos, and a French community that built the best balance between Northeastern authenticity and kite infrastructure.
