1-Day Tour to Cunhau from Natal

5.0 1 reviews
The day trip started with hotel pickup in Natal and a drive of about 90 km along the BR101 to Cunhau Beach. I enjoyed the catamaran ride on the Curimatau River, watching local fishermen catch crabs in the mangroves and passing prawn farms along the way. Lunch wasn't included, so I had a seafood stew at a beachside stall.
