Pipa BrazilMore information:
Pipa, a well known destination throughout South America, has only relatively recently come to the attention of other travellers. Backpackers and surfers "discovered" Pipa in the early 1980"s and some loved it so much they never left. Pipa is blessed with several stunning beaches, two (Praia do Madeiro and Baia dos Golphinos) where wild dolphins come to feed and frolic daily amongst swimmers, Praia dos Minas (Turtle Beach) where turtles come annually to lay their eggs, Praia do Amor (Love Beach) which is a surfers paradise and the town beach (Centro) with it's beach restaurants and fishing boats. The surrounding area comprises lagoons, forests, deserted beaches and is a magnet for eco-tourism. Beach buggies are popular and it is possible to drive for many kilometers on the beaches in the area. Nearby Natal is one of the host cities for the forthcoming World Cup and it is hoped that visitors will take the opportunity to relax in the area following the matches. Pipa has a vibrant nightlife with excellent restaurants and bars and thus there is something for everyone. Natal, 90 kilometers away, is one of the Host cities for the forthcoming World Cup 2014 and it is expected that many more people will take the opportunity to relax here after the matches.
