IN NATAL

Make Ponta Negra your base: it has a lively nightlife and a great beach overlooked by the city’s landmark dune, the Morro do Careca (Bald Hill). Do a dune buggy ride to Genipabu beach, including a joyride at the famous dune park, a lagoon-filled conservation area. Tell your driver to do it com emoção (with emotion), not sem (without) – it’s an exhilarating, unforgettable experience.
