Natal, the capital of Rio Grande do Norte, is a city brimming with sunshine, stunning beaches, and dramatic sand dunes. It's a perfect destination for a tropical getaway with water activities, buggy tours, and a taste of rich local cuisine.
Plan a trip to Natal →The must-see places in Natal include Ponta Negra Beach, Genipabu Beach and Dunes, Morro do Careca, Praia da Pipa, Pirangi Cashew Tree and more. Here is the full list, with a short note on each:
Natal's most famous beach, featuring black rocks and stunning views of the Morro do Careca dune.
Famous for thrilling buggy rides, camel rides, and a freshwater lagoon amidst the dunes.

The world's largest cashew tree, covering a vast area and a natural wonder.
A historic star-shaped fort, the birthplace of Natal, offering beautiful sea views.

Here is what 3 days in Natal look like when the planner builds them: stops grouped by proximity so no day doubles back, one full day at a time. The same route can be built for any length, from two days to a week.
This is an example. The planner builds a different route for your dates, real opening hours, how you get around and your own preferences.
