Tatajuba

A lagoon behind the dunes, at the end of our one-day and two-day downwinders.

The spot

Kitesurfing in Tatajuba

Tatajuba is a small village west of Jericoacoara, set between high dunes and a lagoon. There is little here beyond a few pousadas and beach huts, which is exactly why riders like to finish the day in it.

It is the finish line of two one-day routes, Jericoacoara to Tatajuba (25 km) and Preá to Tatajuba (40 km), and of our two-day downwinder. On the longer rides toward Barra Grande and Atins it is the first stop.
