Itinerary
After hotel pick ups around 07:3 am, following the seafront along the beaches of Tambaú, Manaíra and Bessa, the excursion arrives at Intermares, stopping to visit a sea turtle nesting area where this endangered species attempts to reverse the cycle.
Proceeding along the coastline, we’ll pass the beaches of Camboinha and Formosa, reaching the port town of Cabedelo where we’ll explore the Colonial Fortress of Santa Catarina. This strategically positioned fortification was the city’s primary defense against the Dutch who threatened the Portuguese rule of Brazil. Views from the walls offer postcard views of the ocean and beaches. We’ll also see the official starting point of the Trans-Amazon Highway. The return journey includes a stop for lunch (not included), with free time for sea bathing. Don’t miss your chance to try the region’s wide variety of freshly caught seafood dishes.
Then you will have the opportunity to accompany one of the most beautiful shows to the sound of Ravel's Bolero. Involved in a passionate climate, which only the land where the sun rises first can provide.
You can also buy an optional catamaran ride on the Rio Paraíba (which features lively cangaceiros teaching to dance our forró in a beautiful violin version, besides the illustrious presence of the artist Jurandy do Saxophone).
We will still have time for a visit to the local craftsmanship, during a brief walk along the boardwalk. Afterwards, tourists return to the bus that will take them to their respective hotels.

About João Pessoa
João Pessoa, the capital of Paraíba, is a green Atlantic city on Brazil's easternmost point, with long beaches, a baroque convent and warm natural pools.
João Pessoa is among the oldest cities in Brazil, founded in 1585 near the mouth of the Paraíba River. The historic upper town keeps colonial buildings, among them the church and convent of São Francisco, a baroque ensemble with tiled walls and gilded interiors. Pockets of Atlantic forest remain inside the city limits, which gives it a leafy feel.
