What to do in Natal

A vibrant coastal city in northeastern Brazil, Natal has something for everyone. Sun yourself on the flaxen sands of Ponta Negra, admire the marine life at the Natal Aquarium or, for a taste of local history, explore the 16th-century ‘Fortress of the Three Kings’. For the adventurous among you, there are buggy and camel rides over the Genipabu Dunes, where you can also stop for a dip in their freshwater lagoons. And in the name of all things curious, you can even pay a visit to the world’s largest cashew tree, Cajueiro de Pirangi.
