Rio Grande do Norte

Rio Grande do Norte is one of the states of Brazil, located in the northeastern part of the country, on the edge of the South American continent.

Because of its geographic position, Rio Grande do Norte has a strategic importance. It is the land of the folklorist Câmara Cascudo and is second in the world having the purest air, second only to Antarctica, according to NASA. Its 410 kilometers of sand, much sun, coconut palms and lagoons are responsible for the fame of beaches, such as the secluded white sandy shores of Praia de Cajueiro, Genibapu (to the north of the capital, Natal), with sand dunes reaching 50 meters in height.

The beach Praia de Baía Formosa, the prettiest of the south coast, has falésias, stretches with reefs and very popular for surfing. To the south, the beach of Praia do Sagi, a little more rustic, has clear waters and small dunes. In Natal, beside beaches, there are other tourist attractions, such as Fortaleza dos Reis Magos and the Parque das Dunas, the second largest urban park in the country.
