The city of Natal and its coastal regions are among the most attractive vacation destinations in northeastern Brazil. The imposing dunes around Natal are known well beyond national borders and are considered a spot of insiders in the surfer’s community. The popular seaside resort with its beautiful sandy beaches is attractive all year round.
Natal has about 1 Million inhabitants and therefore belongs to the small federal capitals of Brazil. The city lies at the eastern end of South America and is mainly known for its fantastic beaches and balanced climate. The temperature of the air and the water remains stable all the year, the rain is rare and only in hours from April to July.
The impressive sand dunes around Natal are particularly popular for surfing the sands. In fact, a unique experience! We slip on the dune on a board directly in a freshwater lagoon. A pleasure for everyone!
Also very popular are buggy rides along the beaches and adventurous hikes between the dunes. The long white beaches of Praia da Pipa, Praia do Moleque, Praia do Amor and Praia de Tibau do Sul are particularly beautiful.
The beach of Ponta Negra is the meeting point in Natal. During the day you can enjoy the beach, in the evening, the promenade of the beach invites you to stroll. The gentle sea breeze, the romantic sunset and excellent restaurants with fish, seafood specialties and international dishes make the heart beat faster. A lovely day ends with live music and a caipirinha or a cold beer in one of the cozy beach bars.
We go along the beautiful single coastal road Via Costeira, the beaches of the city along the Reis Magos (Sages) fortress of 1598. After the visit, we make a stop at the typical Brazilian weekly market where the merchants advertise their products premises with vehemence. (Only on Monday!) Across the historic old town, we reach the center. We stop at the old prison, which has been transformed into a tourist center and now offers souvenirs for an hour and a half.

You have the choice between softer and more exciting variants, but an extraordinary pleasure is guaranteed! (The buggies are driven in the dunes by professional drivers, do not worry!)
