Rio Grande do Norte is a Brazilian state located at the northeast tip of South America.  It is a beautiful, relatively unknown beach paradise.  The way the state sits, poking out into the Atlantic, trade winds from the water gives this place the second purest air on earth.

There is 400km of beach line in Rio Grande do Norte.  Blissful strolls among the coconut palms and diving into deep blue lagoons are in store for you.  Located about 6 degrees under the equator, it’s summertime all year long.  The other thing this Brazilian state is known for is its sand dunes.  They’re everywhere.  You must take a dune buggy excursion if you vacation there.

The soul of Rio Grande do Norte is its capitol, Natal.  Over 1 million people live there.  As with most places in Brazil, its night life is vibrant.  Natal is the biggest city in Rio Grande do Norte and has the most hotels and resorts.

The most distinguishing site of Rio Grande do Norte is the Morro do Careca nicknamed the bald hill.  It’s a giant gorgeous 120 meter sand dune with green vegetation on either side.  The dune is located on the south end of Natal’s Ponta Negra Beach.  It’s just so picturesque the way it falls into the ocean.  Morro do Careca beyond doubt is the definitive landmark of the entire state.

Sand dunes and beaches make this an excellent vacation getaway.  Make plans to travel to here soon before the rest of the world finds out about this jewel of a destination.  Tourism is an emerging market for this region.
