Situated in the biggest ecological sanctuary in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, chosen by "Guia 4 Rodas" (the most respected travel book in Brazil) as one of the ten most beautiful beaches in Brazil. It is a great place to surf, take boat and canoe rides, buggy and horse rides, walks and motor cross along trails through the Atlantic forest. Charming and comfortable facilities; hotels and guesthouses, bars, shops and restaurants with a truly international flavour. Nightlife in Pipa is an attraction in itself. Cosmopolitan and exciting, the lively Pipa folk need energy to last them till dawn.

  Olinda
Olinda is one of the best preserved colonial cities in Brazil. With an elevated location overlooking Recife and the Atlantic, the city's historical district is concentrated on its winding upper streets. But this is no still life. Olinda is very much a living, breathing city. The cultural scene here is alive and kicking, and its beautiful enclave of preserved colonial buildings is populated by artists, students and bohemians. Churches, museums, art galleries and convents vie with outdoor restaurants, there is music in the streets, and craft markets attract locals and tourists alike. Carnival in Olinda is a huge affair, with the historic setting and party-animal residents providing an intimacy and sense of security that other Carnivals lack, though some believe the atmosphere is changing in the face of commercialization.
