Location:

Natal is located in the Northeast of Brazil in the State of Rio Grande do Norte. Just 2:30 hours away is João Pessoa another remarkable northeastern capital along the coastline. Also, just within 1:30 hours, is Pipa beach, the most famous balneary to the south of the city of Natal. You can go for the day or spend a few days there, as it is a good departing point to several wonderful beaches south of the State.

Natal is Ideally bundled with Rio, João Pessoa as well as Recife and Fortaleza, which also offer a few daily flights to and from Natal.

What to see:

Natal is the sunniest city in Brazil, and as a result, is a great destination to spend your holidays enjoying the beautiful beaches to the most on these sunny days. Set out to explore beaches such as Ponta Negra, which is “the place” for nightlife and parties, or on the north coast, with beaches like Santa Rita, Jenipabú and Pitangui, where you can practice sandboarding and take buggy rides.

Toward the southern coast, the landscapes reveal some of the most beautiful beaches, among them, the Pipa village where you get in contact with part of the preserved Atlantic Forest that still covers the coast. 

With these many cinematographic beaches, you can expect plenty of adventures under the sun and a refreshing breeze, not to mention breathtaking pictures.

But the city is not just its beautiful coastline: Natal is rich in nature and in Brazilian culture. With the city tour, you will learn more about what this jewel of northeastern Brazil holds.

In the City tour you visit traditional historic buildings like the Forte dos Reis Magos (Fortress of the Three Wise Men), the historic Cathedral of Natal, take a closer look at the largest cashew tree in the world, and enjoy a panoramic city view from the Morro do Careca (Bald Hill).
