About
Just 25 minutes from Natal’s airport, Genipabu is where the city meets a desert of sand. Living dunes that reshape every season, freshwater lagoons in the middle of the dunes and the classic “with or without thrills” buggy ride along the north coast. Dromedaries (yes, dromedaries) complete the scene.
