Fortaleza's Pinto Martins International Airport (FOR) is the gateway to Ceará and the natural starting point for a trip to Jericoacoara. But the village isn't a taxi ride away: it sits about 300 km northwest, behind a national park where the only access is a 4×4 crossing over the dunes. This page explains exactly how to get from the airport to Jeri — and how to do it in one booking, without improvising at the arrivals hall.
With Transfer Jerico, the airport transfer is a single, continuous trip. An air-conditioned shuttle collects you — at the airport itself or at your Fortaleza hotel if you spend a night in the city — and drives roughly 5 hours to Jijoca de Jericoacoara, where the paved road ends. There, a 4×4 jardineira takes over for the final ~40 minutes across the dunes into the village. One ticket covers both legs, the schedule is fixed, and support is available in English, French and Portuguese.

It depends on your flight time, because departures toward Jeri run in a morning window (7am–8am):
A regular taxi or rental car can only take you as far as Jijoca — no car can enter Jericoacoara. You'd then have to find and pay for a 4×4 crossing on the spot, leave your vehicle in a guarded lot, and manage it all in Portuguese. Once you add rental, fuel, parking and the dune crossing, a self-arranged trip usually costs more than an all-in transfer, with none of the support if something goes wrong on a long rural road.
Is there a direct transfer from Fortaleza Airport to Jericoacoara?
Yes. Transfer Jerico picks you up at Fortaleza Airport (Pinto Martins, FOR) and takes you to Jericoacoara in one booking: air-conditioned shuttle to Jijoca, then a 4×4 jardineira across the dunes. No separate legs to arrange.
How long is the transfer from Fortaleza Airport to Jericoacoara?
Around 5h30 to 5h40: about 5 hours by shuttle to Jijoca de Jericoacoara, then roughly 40 minutes by 4×4 across the dunes to the village.
How much does it cost?
From R$210 per person one-way and R$400 round trip, including both the shuttle and the 4×4 crossing. The R$41.50 park fee is paid separately.
