Natal Trips & Tours

The bustling capital of Rio Grande do Norte in northeastern Brazil, much of life in Natal (aka the ‘City of the Sun’) is centred around the sugary, golden coast. Grab your flip flops and head for Ponta Negra, Natal’s most loved beach, for sunbathing, swimming and sunset views over Morro do Careca dune, and then enjoy a well-earned evening of music and delicious seafood. Even greater thrills await on a buggy or swaying camel ride over the sprawling Genipabu Dunes, where you may even find a hidden lagoon to splash in. Get your fill of history in one of the vibrant markets of the old town or at the Fortress of the Three Kings, an enigmatic star-shaped fort built on the beach to defend against pirates and invaders. And just when you’re beginning to get a feel for Natal, you’ll hear talk of Cajueiro de Pirangi, the world’s largest cashew tree, which spans over 8,000 square metres. Yes really!
