The party starts early in Jericoacoara, and it goes all night. It’s not hard to find people in this little village and the caipirinhas flow freely! The parties often spill out on to the beach and the music will keep you going all night long. For a such a little village Jeri parties hard! A beach side nap is great for next day recovery.
