Natal, Brazil

Tourism is the most important industry of Natal, attracting Brazilians, Europeans and Americans. In recent times Natal has grown quickly, but in a planned way (compared to other major Brazilian cities); transit flows smoothly, public services are well distributed, ecologic conscience is visible; violence levels are low. Tourists (first Brazilians, more recently foreigners) discovered the city, which has became one of the major tourist destinations in Brazil. 

Be sure to take a trip in a dune buggy. These trips can be an all day adventure.  The cost varies widely, depending on the number of people and the amount of time.  The northern trek follows the coastline to the river. Then the adventure begins , through small towns, along the beach, a wild ride on the dunes, a visit to the aero-bunda and even a river crossing on a small raft .
