Tatajuba, a name that awakens the senses! On the mouth of a river this small, almost forgotten place lays west of Jericoacoara (“Jeri” for short). Anyone who used to know and love Cumbuco as a small, out-of-the-way fishing community will really be able to appreciate this spot. Lots of space, wind and just kiting, kiting, kiting. And if you want to party, Jeri is the place to head to. With its laid-back atmosphere and wild nightlife it is not far away and worth at least one trip.

This really is a kitesurfing paradise: huge shallow water area with the most reliable and strongest wind in Brazil. The wind blows constantly from June to the end of January and makes sure that you’ll have nearly endless kitesurf sessions. When the spots around Fortaleza “lose the puff” in December, you’ll still have enough wind in your kite here for another month. The spot is located right next to your accommodation and on the mouth of a river. Even at high tide, you can find enough shallow areas where you still can stand. You’ll have an unimaginable amount of space to cruise around and try out new jumps. A few hundred meters further down the mouth of the river, you’ll have another awesome spot with small “kicker waves” and only four kilometers away from a big freshwater lagoon.

Kitesurfing in Brazil

Kitesurf Spots

Tatajuba River Mouth

This spot is right next to our accommodation. It’s a river mouth whose further course ends in the ocean. The entire area is, for the most part, shallow enough to stand in at high tide. At low tide you can just walk to the end of the river mouth and kite in the sea. The wind at this spot is strong and reliable. On really windy days, you can also go to the spot at Laguna La Torta. In spite of the awesome conditions here, there are never very many kiters around.

Our kitesurfing school is directly at the spot with courses for beginners and advanced riders as well as equipment available for rent.

Tatajuba Wave Spot

You’ll find the wave spot just a few 100 meters away from the Pousada, shortly after the river mouth on the ocean side. Here you’ll experience nice kickers in the waves and good cross sure winds. A perfect spot for both wave-beginners as well as advanced wave-kitesurfers.

Downwind Tours (Guriu-Tatajuba & Tatajuba-Camocim)

Tatajuba is a perfect start for downwind day tours. The kitesurf school will transport you to Guriu, and guide you on your tour back home to Tatajuba. You can also start directly at Tatajuba and head down wind direction Camocim. Both downwind tours offer about 15 km with variable wave conditions, everything from one to three meter waves.

Laguna La Torta

The nearby lagoon “Lagoa da Torta” is a famous flat water spot with awesome kitesurf conditions. This beautiful Fresh water lagoon with a big standing range of shallow waters, lays in the middle of the dunes and stretches for 16 kilometers into the land. The wind might be less strong and a bit gusty, due to the surrounding dunes. It is, however, perfect for days when the wind is too strong at the coast.

On the beach, there are plenty of coconut palms and a “Barraca”, (the Brazilian word for small restaurant on the beach.) Where after a successful day on the water or during a short break, you can relax in a hammock and enjoy a cold coconut.

We also recommend that you try the local cuisine—delicious fish and regional specialties at low cost prices.

This spot is about 4 km away from the pousada and reachable by buggy transfer (at an additional charge).

Secret Spot

In the farer surroundings of Tatajuba you can find the Secret Spot, with the ultimate kitesurf conditions. In order to keep it a secret, you can get further information when you are here from our kite instructors at the Pousada… ;)

The KiteWorldWide Pousada in Tatajuba

The area of the KiteWorldWide Pousada is divided into two sections, the community area and the beach area.  The Pousada section is located approximately 100m from the beach. Here you will find the pool, the restaurant and the community areas. In the wide palm garden of the Pousada you’ll always find a quiet spot to relax but also likeminded people to chat with, if you feel like it.

The beach site area is located right next to the spot. From here you’ll have a little walk to the restaurant, the pool and the community area but therefore you’ll enjoy a pure beach feeling and never lose sight of the kite spot and the wind.

Catering

Our delicious and rich half board is included for all KiteWorldWide guests!

You’ll kick off the day with a lovingly prepared buffet breakfast and homemade bread, freshly squeezed juices, tropical fruits, cakes, cold cuts of meats and hot eggs.

With the half board option you’ll enjoy a daily changing 3 course menu with beef filet, seafood and/or various pasta dishes. In South America, the local BBQ cuisine is not to be missed, Brazilians love there BBQ! Its almost a national sport. We fire up the BBQ once a week to give you some tasty Brazilian treats.

Should you decide on site that you would like our half board option it is available to book in cash when you are here.

To make sure you’ll also see something outside of the Pousada, we’ll take you on a weekly trip to our favorite beach restaurant.

In addition to that, the half board includes table water the entire day. At the Pousada and at the kite center we’ve set up multiple water dispensers. This way you’ll use less plastic bottles and help support the protection of the local environment (bring a BPA free bottle or something similar that you can fill up)

Other Activities Besides Kitesurfing (not included in travel price)

If you need a  change from water and kiting, you can speed through the enormous dunes in Funil with a beach buggy. Taking it to the extreme would be to try out the sand boarding in the many sand dunes.

Tatajuba is located between the world famous, Jericoacoara (30 km) and the fishing community, Camocim (25 km). You can reach each one of these places either by public transportation or with a beach buggy.

Jericoacoara

Jericoacoara, or ‘Jeri’ as insiders name it, is known for its relaxed atmosphere and wild nightlife. The night really gets going around midnight, and everyone who can keep going longer can party all night long.

Although Jeri only consists of four sandy streets, there is an astonishing number of restaurants, pousadas, and small, interesting shops.

Active vacationers have the chance to let some steam off in Jeri. Apart from kitesurfing, you can learn the popular Brazilian battle dance, Capoeira, on the beach, go sand boarding in the dunes or try your luck on the back of a horse.

Camocim

Camocim is located on the mouth of the Rio Coreaú on the border of the “Land of endless possibilities”, Piaui. Here you’ll find post offices, banks, hospitals, shops, a bus station and lots of different hotels and pousadas. The market and village life are definitely worth a visit!

General Information

Country and People

Tatajuba is one of the most beautiful and untouched places along the northern coast of Ceará in northeast of Brazil. This small community is about 300 km northwest of Fortaleza. Tatajuba is surrounded by huge, white sand dunes, coconut palms, mangroves and small freshwater lagoons.

The 500 inhabitants make their living from fishing, raising cattle and agriculture, in a peaceful and traditionally way.

In the 80s, Tatajuba was covered slowly but steadily by the moving dunes, leading to the reconstruction of the entire village on the other side of the lagoon.

On the other end of the town, you’ll discover a large, hardened dune. It’s called “Duna Encantado” or “the cursed dune”, since many of the inhabitants believe an old pirate ship is buried underneath it. According to an old legend, you can still hear old pirate songs at night…

 

Airport: Fortaleza (FOR)

TAP run flights from most European cities and fly direct to Fortaleza via Lisbon, You can choose to spend one night in Lisbon, or take a transfer waiting time of aprox. 4 hours into consideration.

Flights (to Fortaleza) with KLM (via Amsterdam), TAP (via Lisbon), Air France (via Paris) and Latam (via Madrid).

Flights typically vary between 600€ and 1200€ depending on when you book and for which month.

From our own experience, we recommend to plan at least 2 hours to change planes. Otherwise you might run danger, that your luggage won’t be transported to the next airplane in time.

When changing planes in Recife or Salvador you’ll have to check out, pass immigrations and check in again to continue your flight with local airlines. For this procedure you should calculate 3-4 hours.

Many roads lead to Tatajuba, but your trip will start at the airport in Fortaleza. After your arrival in Brazil, you’ll have two options to get to the KiteWorldWide Pousada in Tatajuba:

You can either take a direct airport transfer, where a well-established transportation company will pick you up with a minivan (approx. 4 hours drive).

Or you can take the bus from Fortaleza to either Jijoca, Jericoacoara, or Camocim where you’ll be picked up by a pousada employee in a buggy (approx. 30 min.). The busses leave directly from the airport and are extremely comfortable with air conditioning and reclining chairs. The bus trip takes about 5 to 6,5 hours, depending on the destination, and costs between €15 and €20 (depending on destination) per person one way.

Here’s a link for a currency converter; https://www.oanda.com/currency/converter/

On site at the Pousada you can pay best via Brazilian Real. Credit cards are accepted but with a fee of 7% plus possible foreign surcharge of the respective credit card company.

Please bring enough cash with you, for the local beach bars and the supermarket.
The KWW Pousada offers Free-Wifi in the restaurant.
