Rio de Janeiro - Hang glider, Christ Statue,
Sugar Loaf, Ipanema ...
Rio has a spectacular natural setting, "the girl from Ipanema" - a beach in Rio,
hang gliding (recently featured on TV as one of the top places to see before you
die), surfing, beach volleyball, soccer, and one of the most famous landmarks in
the world; "Cristo Redentor", the Christ statue overlooking the city from atop
Corcovado mountain.
Natal -
Endless beaches, Dune buggys, our ranch ...
Natal has dozens of sandy, white beaches; Ponta Negra and its famous Morro do
Careca, Tabatinga - the cliff of dolphins, Pirangi, Redinha, and Jenipabu with its
famous sand dunes and dune buggys.
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.
