Despite the main attractions and points of interest in Natal being scattered quite far apart, hiking trails remain popular.
If you're unsure where to start your hiking itinerary in Natal, the first place to visit is the unusual cashew tree, which is close to 200 years old and spans 500 meters in width. Marine fauna enthusiasts can chart their route in Natal through the local oceanarium, where you can observe not only aquariums housing sharks, piranhas, rays, lobsters, and penguins but also a dedicated serpentarium featuring a variety of snakes and reptiles.
Exploring Natal on foot is a wonderful way to immerse yourself in the stunning nature of this Brazilian resort and appreciate the authentic buildings that have endured since colonial times. If you plan a walking route around Natal, don't miss the 37-meter lighthouse, reached by climbing 150 steps to the top.
