Rio Grande do Norte has a rich culture and history, as well as sunny beaches, dunes and cliffs, and the seridó, a unique landscape with cave inscriptions.
Strong winds, sunshine, dunes, beaches, cliffs and the friendliness of the people of Rio Grande do Norte accompany visitors all along the coast.
But beware: there is much, much to be explored outside of the buggy routes that cut up and down the sands and dunes, taking tourists to enjoy the best of the surroundings of Natal.
Natal’s Via Costeira, lined with hotels, the Morro do Careca, Ponta Negra Beach, the Forte dos Reis Magos and a charming historic centre are there to continue seducing.
Being in Natal in Rio Grande do Norte opens up the possibility of taking a day trip to places like the parrachos de Maracajaú, as the coral reef formations a few kilometres off the coast are called.
Hiring a buggy to go adventuring in the dunes of Genipabu is a classic.
As is heading to Praia de Pipa, with its rivers and lagoons, the spectacular view from the cliffs of Praia do Amor, not to mention dolphin watching on boat trips.
Expect a lot of hustle and bustle in Pipa in Rio Grande do Norte, especially at night on Avenida Baía dos Golfinhos.
If peace and quiet is your thing, start travelling a little further away from the capital. Going up 100 kilometres to where the map of Brazil makes a left turn, you’ll find São Miguel do Gostoso. The rustic and simple atmosphere remains, even with the appearance of inns and restaurants in the last decade.
The streets are still dirt and, as far as the eye can see, there are beautiful beaches with coconut palms, palm trees and soft sand.
The most beautiful in the region is Tourinhos, with dunes and rock formations.
Ponta do Santo Cristo, with its strong winds, is a firm favourite with kitesurfers and windsurfers.
Continuing 90 kilometres to the left of the Rio Grande do Norte map is another mirage, Galinhos, an even smaller village with just over 2,000 inhabitants.
It’s not easy to reach by boat or 4×4 vehicle, which guarantees isolation and calm to enjoy the beautiful green sea. The streets are sandy and transport is by horse-drawn carriage.
Buggies leave from São Miguel do Gostoso and take you to the top of the dunes, canoe trips along the Aratuá River and a visit to neighbouring Galos make up the package of attractions.
Rio Grande do Norte is a diverse tourist destination, offering everything from thrilling adventures in the dunes of Genipabu to relaxing days on the beaches of Pipa and Maracajaú.
With a rich mix of culture, history and gastronomy, the state is a true paradise for holidaymakers.
