* Tourist outing to see the North coast, dunes and lakes.  On this trip, the participants will have the opportunity to get to know each other better, whilst enjoying the natural delights of the northeast of Brazil.


Tour Details

       Our trip is by buggy, the best vehicle for this route full of beautiful sights to be discovered. Along the way, we pass by nine beaches (Redinha, Santa Rita, Genipabu, Barra do Rio, Graçandu, Pitangui, Jacumã, Porto Mirim and Muriú) and three lakes (Genipabu, Pitangui and Jacumã).

       We are greeted in Genipabu with some breathtaking scenery: dunes, some of which are up to 50m high; some are fixed, others are moving, blown by the gentle winds. In this place, with its lakes and lush tropical vegetation, we have the chance to hire ultralight quadriciclos, to travel along the sea edge on docile donkeys or camels or even to try out “esquibunda” – a fun way to slide down the sand on a small board or “aerobunda” whereby a person slides down an enormous dune on a steel cable, and falls into the water.

       To complete this tour, we can enjoy some delicious shrimp or lobster roasted on a stick, which can be found in the huts along the way.
