Guriú

Guriú is a river-mouth locality in Camocim municipality just north/downwind of Jericoacoara, reached from Jeri by buggy and a river-ferry crossing. It offers a flat-water zone at low tide where the river meets the ocean, making it a popular short downwind or day-trip destination from Jeri rather than a stay-and-ride base of its own.
