What to do and see in Natal, State of Rio Grande do Norte (RN): The Best Budget-friendly Things to do

November 30, 2021 Randal Brittian

Gateway to the stunning beaches of Rio Grande do Norte, the city of Natal is perched on Brazil's Atlantic coast, at the mouth of the Potengi River. Escape the bustle at secluded Pipa and Pirangi beaches or live it up at Genipabu and Tibau do Sul. The city is surrounded by Dune State Park. Go on a buggy ride over 30-foot sand dunes or tour the dunes on a dromedary tour. The city is home to the cleanest air on the continent, according to NASA, and also to the world's largest cashew tree.

Had an amazing buggy ride with Isan, an experienced and funny driver that took us us from Ponta Negra beach all the way to Jacumã beach, going through all the Dunas, beaches and water sports available over there.

Go to one of the 'kiosko', park just on their backside (free, don't let parking assistants on the road fool you saying there is no parking there), grab a table between the hammocks, order an ice cold beer and some local food - you're in paradise
