In part real about what you said. Jeri is not the safest place by far. For example, Icaraizinho, Barra Grande and Atins are way safer.Havre wrote: ↑Sun Sep 26, 2021 1:41 pmWe just booked transport through the places we were staying. No issues. All of the different drivers just very friendly and service minded. Doesn't mean that it will always be safe, but as a Norwegian I would probably feel just as safe/unsafe in the US as I did in Brazil (I guess you always feel safer with what you are used to).
Jeri felt extremely safe. In for example Cumbuco you are definitely a bit more aware of your surroundings - even if I never felt unsafe there either. Some of the streets there are basically made for getting robbed though.
First time and if you want to go to the safest place I would personally recommend Jeri. And I doubt that any of the places that far North of Fortaleza is much different, but for that a lot of people on here got much more experience than me from that area.
So again, safest or not the safest ones, once you there you will feel safe enough. Most important is to know what you looking for. Every village has it own characteristics. About itself, about kite conditions. Stick together with the kiters and you will be okay.
The right to do is to do a little tour. Choose some places based in your preferences. Stay couple days on each place. Next time you come you will know for sure what kind of place is your place there(here).
