Negra Beach – one of the most famous in the area. However, it is impossible to speak of the city without remembering the famous Park of the Dunes of Genipabu! The curious thing, however, is that it is not in the capital of Rio Grande do Norte, but in a neighboring municipality: Extremoz-RN.
Extremoz, thus, is an unforgettable tourist spot for those who want to know the most beautiful landscapes of Rio Grande do Norte. The so-called “Brazilian Desert” presents the visitor with its show of colors and a breathtaking nature. On the horizon, the orange of the sands joins the blue of the sky, forming a spectacle to the part. The diverse shades of water are appreciated in the encounter of the river with the sea, which takes place inside the Dunes Park of Genipabu. A Stunning Experience!
But, contrary to what one might think, Extremoz-RN is not merely a contemplative tourist spot. There is also fun – and lots of it !. A script full of adventures for all ages is offered in the visits to the Parque das Dunas. The best known of them is guided by so-called “bugueiros”: buggy drivers who drive tourists along the secret and dynamic paths of the dunes. During the trip, the visitor can choose to add emotion to the route, which guarantees radical maneuvers between the ascents and descents of the sands.
If you’ve opted for what you call “thrill,” you’ll probably also enjoy attractions like the “skibunda.” From a high point of the park, it is possible to slide to a lagoon of crystalline waters. The route can be done by sliding on a wet canvas – which puts you at great speed – or by a kind of zipline – that gives you the feeling of flying for a few minutes. The joke combines adventure, safety and close contact with nature. It is also worth continuing the descent into photos offered by local services.
For those who want a quieter trip, without so much excitement, the park offers visits to local handicrafts, as well as beautiful beachfront restaurants. One of the biggest attractions for eating and drinking is the Pitangui Lagoon. In the “Oasis of the Desert”, a bar next to the lagoon is a real invitation to taste seafood and tropical drinks at tables located in the water. Besides the delicious food and the incredible look, the experience of seeing fish prowling around in search of some crumbs is something unique.
The experience in the “desert” is complete with a dromedary tour – which yields incredible photos and an interesting, at least interesting experience. With Bedouin clothes, the tourist can imagine with some degree of reality the life of Sahara people – from which comes the inspiration of attraction.
Without a doubt, Extremoz-RN is able to delight visitors of all ages. The location is also privileged: just a few minutes from Natal, the city counts on a robust hotel and services network for tourists, offering several options – including packages with discounts for collective purchasing applications. Without a doubt, Extremoz-RN deserves a place in its next travel plan.
