1. As soon as we meet, we´ll start the tour and our first destination is “Ponta Preta” (Ponta means edge and Preta means black). At this spot you´ll witness a contrast between white natural sand dunes and dark coloured volcanic rocks entering the sea. This amazing combination creates a unique phenomenon of huge and beautiful waves. And this is the reason why this location is the stage for the performance of water sports competitions like surf, windsurf and others of a world known level.
