Jeri to Sao Luis is hard by bus. Try the route Jericoacoara -> Jijoca -> Camocim -> Paranaiba -> Sao Luis

Introduction: From Fortaleza to Jericoacoara

As my girlfriend and I were traveling from Salvador to Sao Luis we mostly relied on bus connections. Nevertheless we had some difficulties getting from the beautiful town of Jericoacoara to the trip’s last station Sao Luis.

Jericoacoara

Jericoacoara is a town surrounded by a National Park. Therefore anyone visiting Jericoacoara has to use an authorized vehicle to make the last part of the trip from Jijoca de Jericoacoara to Jericoacoara itself. The vehicles that make this trip must be off-roaders so mainly the so called D-20 or Buggys are used. Picture of a D-20 with caracteristic back seats The trip takes approximately 50 minutes and should cost not more than 25 real per person.
