Images of João Pessoa, Paraíba
Introduction
João Pessoa: One of the smallest and oldest capitals in the Northeast, João Pessoa features tree-lined streets, a coastline preserved by legislation that limits building heights, hospitable people, beautiful beaches, and a light nightlife.
Tourists flock to the urban beaches of Tambaú, Manaíra, and Cabo Branco, which are lined with stalls, bars, and restaurants. However, the most rustic and beautiful landscapes are found on the South Coast, known as Costa do Conde.
It is here that you will find the beaches of Coqueirinho and Tambaba, the latter being Brazil's most renowned naturist destination. One of the city's postcards, the Cabo Branco Lighthouse signals that João Pessoa is the easternmost point of the Americas – on its beaches, the sun rises first.
In terms of gastronomy, although framed by a beautiful coastline, the capital's cuisine is not limited to seafood. The real stars are the recipes from the hinterland, based on sun-dried meat and goat, cassava, milk rice, string beans, and bottle butter. For dessert, enjoy some rapadura!
Cabedelo: More like a neighbourhood of João Pessoa, given its proximity to the capital, this small municipality has its own personality and many charms, starting with its location between the Atlantic Ocean and the Paraíba River. Its rich history - due to its strategic port - has gifted Cabedelo with monuments and buildings that still stand today. One of the city's postcards is the Santa Catarina Fortress, transformed into a cultural and tourist centre with a beautiful panoramic view.
The region also boasts warm and clear water beaches, accompanied by coconut groves and a tranquil atmosphere even in summer. At the end of the day, all paths lead to the river beach of Jacaré, which fills up with tourists and residents from Cabedelo, João Pessoa, and surrounding areas.
There, the sunset happens to the sound of Bolero by Ravel. You can closely follow the emotional farewell of the sun in harmony with the saxophone of musician Jurandy, who is comfortably set up on a small boat.

Detailed Itinerary
Day 1: September 15 (Tuesday) - Rio de Janeiro (Galeão)/ João Pessoa PB
Transfer from your residence (SEE RULES) to Galeão airport, at the time agreed upon by the Rosanetur team, heading to the international airport of João Pessoa (Presidente Castro Pinto). Flight GOL 2068 (GIG 08:35 X JPA 11:25). From there, we will continue by tourist bus on a pleasant panoramic tour along the Tambaú waterfront.
After lunch, we will check in. Enjoy the free afternoon to stroll along the bustling Tambaú waterfront, with numerous kiosks and abundant commerce. Lunch included. Free afternoon and evening.
Day 2: September 16 (Wednesday) - João Pessoa (City Tour)
After breakfast, we will take a city tour of João Pessoa. We will visit the easternmost point of the Americas (Cabo Branco Lighthouse - Ponta do Seixas), passing by the work of Oscar Niemeyer (Cabo Branco Station).
From there, we will head to the historic centre, visiting various tourist spots such as the São Francisco Cultural Centre, Hotel Globo, among others. Listed by IPHAN as a National Historical and Artistic Heritage, the Historic Centre of João Pessoa takes tourists on a journey back in time. NOTE: Entrance tickets for churches, museums, and other visitation sites are not included.
Next, we will take a panoramic tour of the city where we can contemplate the Solon de Lucena Lagoon Park. The park is one of the most beautiful landscape expressions of the capital. With an original design by landscape architect Burle Marx, the gardens preserve specimens of pau-d’arco, bamboo, and beautiful imperial palms that accompany the layout of the central lake.
After lunch, we will have time for shopping at the Traditional Paraíba Handicraft Market. Return to the hotel. Free evening. Lunch included.
Day 3: September 17 (Thursday) - João Pessoa (North Coast Beaches, Cabedelo, and Bolero by Ravel)
After breakfast, we will explore the beautiful beaches of the northern coast of Paraíba. We will start with a panoramic tour of the urban beaches of Cabo Branco, Tambaú, Manaíra, and Bessa. Next, we will visit the Santa Catarina Fortress (or Forte de Santa Catarina) in the neighbouring municipality of Cabedelo. Built in 1589, in rammed earth, by the German Cristóvão Linz, after being destroyed several times it was rebuilt in stone in 1654. NOTE: Entrance ticket to the Fortress is not included.
After the visit, we will enjoy the beautiful Ponta de Campina Beach in Cabedelo, a place with excellent facilities for lunch and/or snacks with our feet in the sand while enjoying the sea view. Next, we have a meeting scheduled for a spectacular sunset at the River Beach of Jacaré.
There, at the mouth of the Paraíba River in Cabedelo, the late afternoon has colour and soundtrack, in a grand open-air spectacle: the Sunset to the sound of Bolero by Ravel played by Paraíba musician Jurandy on the saxophone. Leaving from the pier at the River Beach of Jacaré, the boat takes a tour of the Paraíba River, accompanied by plenty of music with the cangaceiro dancers Lampião and Maria Bonita, who perform folk dances involving all tourists. Return to the hotel at the end of the day. Free evening.
Day 4: September 18 (Friday) - João Pessoa (Beaches of Costa do Conde on the South Coast)
After breakfast, we will head to the southern coast of Paraíba, known as Costa do Conde, where we will visit the famous Tambaba beach. One of the most beautiful beaches in the region, Tambaba is the first official naturist beach in the Northeast. Therefore, it is divided into two parts: in the first - small, with rocks and natural pools of turquoise waters - nudity is not allowed. In the second, taking off your clothes is mandatory.
Next, we will visit the paradisiacal Coqueirinho beach. The diminutive name - Coqueirinho - does not convey the real beauty of the beach, filled with coconut trees and colourful cliffs. The gentle waves and freshwater rivers attract bathers, divers, and those who simply want to enjoy a beautiful view. The excellent structure of kiosks by the sea adds the finishing touch for a whole day at the beach.
To get a complete view of the Costa do Conde region, we will have an optional buggy ride to enjoy the view from the top of the Dedo de Deus viewpoint. From this viewpoint, it is possible to see the Coqueirinho cove on the right and Tabatinga Beach on the left (a beach of stunning beauty thanks to its colourful cliffs). On this same buggy ride, we will also visit the Castelinho da Princesa, a viewpoint with a beautiful view of a geological formation sculpted by rain and wind. Return to the hotel at the end of the day. Free evening.
Day 5: September 19 (Saturday) - João Pessoa (Optional Red Sand Island)
Breakfast. Free day. We will take an optional tour (subject to tide conditions) by catamaran to the famous Red Sand Island. Located just 2 km from the coast of Praia do Poço (in Cabedelo), the Red Sand Island is formed by a huge sandbank of a different reddish colour, covered by seawater, becoming visible only when the tide is low, forming natural pools of warm and clear waters.
The transparent and warm waters of Red Sand and the natural pools that form are an invitation to diving. The tour departs early in the morning and lasts for 3 hours. Free afternoon and evening.
Day 6: September 20 (Sunday) - João Pessoa/ Rio de Janeiro (Galeão)
Breakfast. At the agreed time, conclusion of extras and transfer to the international airport of João Pessoa. Flight GOL 1496 (JPA 16:50 X GIG 20:00). We hope your trip has been unforgettable! Until next time!

Important Notes
The information below covers part of what is set out in our General Conditions. It is essential to read the entire document.
Withdrawals, Transfers and Cancellations by the client
The CONTRACTED PARTY shall refund the amount due to the Client, calculated on the total amount actually received by the Contractor, excluding the amount of commission withheld, which must be dealt with by the Travel Agent, as well as administrative fees and amounts already paid to suppliers.
in the event of any of the above occurring, the following administrative fees will be deducted from the total amount charged for the tour package, in the following proportion:
- When the cancellation occurs 30 (thirty) days or more before the date of departure of the trip: 10% (ten per cent)
- When the cancellation occurs between 29 (twenty-nine) and 21 (twenty-one) days before the date of departure: 15% (fifteen per cent)

In addition to the fees and fines described above, the amounts already paid to suppliers to guarantee bookings, duly proven, will be deducted as expenses, since the Contractor is only an intermediary in the contracting of tourist services, and is in temporary possession of the amounts received, because it depends on third parties for the effective execution of these services, such as air, sea and road transport, as well as accommodation, reception, restaurants and other contracted services.
For both road and air excursions, date transfers or refunds for unused sections will not be permitted.
Trip abandonment - Once the excursion has begun, passengers who abandon it for any reason will not be entitled to any refund for services paid for and not used.
