About Tatajuba
Extreme adventure. Funil Dune and Lagoa Grande. Intense winds.
Tatajuba has the strongest and most consistent wind in Brazil — 99% probability, with 30+ knots as the standard in peak season. The river mouth creates flat water for freestyle at high tide; when overpowered, Lagoa da Torta (16 km long, freshwater mirror) is the perfect backup plan. A village that was a lunch stop on Jeri downwinds is transforming into a destination in its own right.
