About This Attraction
Duna do Pôr do Sol is a popular sand dune located in Jericoacoara, Brazil. Known for its stunning sunset views, it is a favorite spot for both locals and tourists. The dune is easy to reach on foot from the nearby village, making it accessible for all ages. Visitors often gather here in the evening to watch the sun dip below the horizon over the Atlantic Ocean.
The best time to visit Duna do Pôr do Sol is during the dry season from July to December when the skies are clear. There are no official Duna do Pôr do Sol opening hours since its an open natural site, but most people arrive shortly before sunset. Remember to bring water and sunscreen, as there are no facilities on the dune itself. This beautiful location provides a perfect end to a day spent exploring Jericoacoaras other attractions.
