The city of Natal and Pipa's beaches offer unique natural beauty and night life. And the best: they are less than an hour away.
In a country of continental dimensions is not easy to know several places in just one trip. But sometimes, nature can help and put two stunning destinations close to each other. This is what happens in Rio Grande do Norte, where Natal and Pipa are less than an hour away.
Tourists usually arrive first at Natal. The city is the capital of Rio Grande do Norte and is better equipped, with an international airport and several highways. "Who comes want to know the Ponta Negra beach, postcard of the city, and the region of dunes, especially Genipabu, where you can take a ride in a buggy and practice sandboarding", said the manager of the
Hostel Lua Cheia, associated with
HI Hostels Brazil, Mary Bezerril. Another tour that is becoming increasingly requested is Galinhos, a nearly pristine beach, at north of Natal.

Nature is strong even in the capital. But the city also has a bustling nightlife. "The night here is thematic. Almost all the houses are playing the same music style on the same day to create a tune with customers", said the manager of the
Hostel Verdes Mares, also associated with
HI Hostels Brazil, Rita Castro. She explained that in the summer, people leave early for the night and go to bars, concerts and festivals. They also organize something at the large area outside the Hostel Verdes Mares, like a party or a barbecue. To Hostel Lua Cheia is even easier: the property has a bar, the Taverna Pub. "He works from Monday to Saturday, with live music every day", said Mary. Monday is the day of "Cruel Intentions", a famous party at the city. "In that day the house fills it because of good music and special drinks. Sometimes we even have a queue". We can surely say that people, of course, love the party.
After a few days in Natal, many people return their belongs to the suitcase and following trip to Pipa beach, in the municipality of Tibau do Sul, 85 kilometres away. Surrounded by Guaraíras lagoon and the Atlantic Ocean, the beach is the refuge of dolphins and sea turtles, which always appears. "People come because of the beautiful scenery, the clear water and marine life", explained the owner of the
Pipa Hostel and
Pipa Backpackers Hostel, Janet Alcantara, both associated with
HI Hostel Brazil.
The night is guaranteed to be great with bars, restaurants and nightclubs. Pipa Hostel use the outside area to promote barbecue dinners and parties, according to the availability of guests. The high season is over December to March and July to August. "We have a huge amount of guests that come very often. In our New Year's Eve, more than 80% are people who have stayed here before", said Janet. They come to be with friends they met at the hostel and enjoy the holiday.
