Visit Rio Grande do Norte
Rio Grande do Norte is a state located in the northeastern region of Brazil. It borders the states of Ceara, Paraiba and Pernambuco. The capital city is Natal, known for its beautiful beaches and vibrant nightlife. The coastline of Rio Grande do Norte offers plenty to explore, such as Praia de Pipa, a popular beach town with restaurants and bars; or Genipabu Beach, famous for sand dunes and water sports.
