Exploring the unknown, wild north of Brazil. Flatwater lagoons, river mouths, little fishing villages, associated with sight-seeing. This is pure outback territory with many wild animals to see. Explore the untouched interior of the river delta by boat and kite. We continue to the hugh dune region with its 1000 cristal-clear lagoons in the Lençóis Maranheses National Park.

 

DAY 1 - 36 KM | JERICOACOARA - CAMOCIM

This is my favourite downwinder with perfect kite conditions. The water between the clean breaking waves is as smooth as a mirror. After passing Guriu we arrive at the river mouth, with shallow water in the river and beautiful big waves in the ocean. It's difficult to continue kiting at this stunning spot because I promise you will want to stay there all day. Overnight stay: Camocim

 

DAY 2 - 44 KM | 20 KM CAMOCIM – BITUBITA

Kiting continues along the coast with relatively shallow waters and small waves. Apart from a few fishermen on the road we meet no one. From Bitubita we continue by car to Barra Grande, a kite paradise which is still a largely undiscovered spot. Overnight stay: Barra Grande

 

DAY 3 - 18 KM | BARRA GRANDE – DELTA DO PARNAIBA

Our program today depends a lot on the wind. Your guide will inform you about our daily goal.

Overnight stay: Casa de Caboclo (Island Canarias)

 

DAY 4 – 52 KM | Ilha dos Poldros - Ilha do Caju

Today is a big day! The Parnaiba delta is the third-largest river delta in the world. If the wind is strong enough we gonna kite all the way around until an island called „Ilha do Caju“. By boat we reach our daily goal Tutóia, which is located on the other side of the delta. 

Overnight stay: Tutoia

 

DAY 5 – 50 KM | Tutoia – Atins

Mirror-smooth water awaits us in Tutóia, where the ocean is separated by a sandbank around 1 km from the beach. We kite together to this sandbank, reaching the open sea and riding on small waves. In Cabure our luggage will be picked up by a boat and goes directly to the pousada. We will reach Atins passing the river by kite and arrive directly to Atins on the beach. 

Overnight stay: Atins

 

DAY 6 – 18 KM | Atins - Rio Negro 

Upon arrival in Atins you will immediately get the feeling that you have reached the end of the world. There are no roads built yet. Getting around the village is difficult because of the fine, deep sand. There are a few pousadas and restaurants. This little place is totally unspoilt and is situated in an untouched, natural landscape, despite having an absolutely fantastic kite spot right on its doorstep. At low tide the water is like a mirror. Kite out to the small sandbanks and freestyle endlessly between them with 3 or 4 other kiters. If the wind is good we will do an 18 km downwinder to Rio Negro, where the entrance is to the enormous Lençóis Maranhenses dune region with its thousands of small crystal-clear lagoons. The area covers 1,550 km² and was declared a National Park on 2.6.1981. Firm dunes and shifting sand dunes range up to 40 km into the interior. In spite of the relatively high levels of precipitation, this is Brazil’s only desert.

Overnight stay: Atins

 

DAY 7 – Transfer back to Jeri

From Atins we’ll take the boat to Cabure where the car will already be waiting for us. The ride goes over the main road directly back to Jijoca. In Jijoca we will organise a transport for you to bring you directly to your Pousada in Jericoacaora.

YOUR KITE LEVEL:

This Downwinder is only for experienced kitesurfers.

You must have already done a few long downwinders. 

Inside the Delta of Parnaiba there will be NO car-support.

The downwinders can last 5 hours (with breaks), so you must be fairly fit and have proper equipment.
