Natal Things to Do

When you travel to Pipa or south from Natal, stop for a while to Lagoon of Arituba. There's a restaurant, water is fresh and there are no waves which hedges your swimming in the ocean.

The only minus to this place is that the sand is very hot and you need some kind of slippers to your feet (I don't use, meaning I don't have ones).

When travelling to Pipa you meet the Dolphin Bay. There is a small restaurant on the hill and if you are lucky, you can see a couple of dolphins catching their food in the bay below your eyes.

We were there and saw tree doplhins, but I think that none of them burned to the film. But they are there, under the sea surface in the middle of the picture, at least in original high resolution shot.

This is must to all who has painted nails and/or is using feet heavily. It is relaxing and fun. Take any salon and you get service worth of every cent. Fingernails, footnails and foot care took 1,5 hours and the whole price was 20 reals. (Compared to finnish prices it was extremely cheep, foot care in Finland takes about 30 euros, which is 90 reals!).

I don't know how to call this "sport". Just jump to chair and drive to the lake. Again you get wet with five reals, but the most exiting thing is the way back.

There are old Volkswagen's (they build VW's earlier in Brazil) chassis from which they have build elevators. There elevators lift or pulls your again to the hill.

Noisy and gas smelling :)

When you are on buggy tour, you can find a place where you can dive to little lake with skiing in the sand.

The price is five reals, so only your mind is hedging the experience (the speed is not as fast as in snow).

Take a buggy for two days, first to north and spend second day in Pipa beach in south

It's easy, you can find some english speaking buggy drivers, no need to drive and the drivers knows the places worth of visiting. It's nice, hot, cool and sandy!

This is for professonals only. Take a surfing board and steerable parashute. Remember, the wind is on the average from 8 to 12 m/s, so you need a lot of power to steer the system and, of course, a lot of boarding skills.

Don't try this at home!
