The experience
The tour begins with a stop at Fortaleza de Santa Catarina, one of Brazil's oldest heritage sites, then moves north to Cabedelo, where you pass the Marco Zero of the Transamazônica: the starting point of the famous highway that cuts across the Amazon. From there, the route takes you to Ponta de Campina Beach, where you swim in the warm waters of Paraíba before heading to the final stop.
As dusk arrives, you reach Jacaré Beach to watch the sunset. The moment is framed by live saxophone: Jurandy do Sax performs Bolero de Ravel as the sun drops into the Atlantic. After the performance, you have time to walk the boardwalk and visit the local handicraft market. An optional catamaran ride on the Paraíba River is available if you want to extend the evening. The boat features live forró music and dancers, and Jurandy do Sax performs Ave Maria at 6 p.m.
Hotel pickup and drop-off are included, and a professional guide in Spanish leads the entire day. The tour suits all fitness levels and runs approximately ten hours from start to finish.
