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, a hospitable population, 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 there 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 highlight is the sertão recipes, based on sun-dried meat and goat, cassava, milk rice, string beans, and bottle butter. For dessert, enjoy some rapadura!
Cabedelo: More like a neighborhood of João Pessoa, so close it is 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 its postcards is the Santa Catarina Fortress, transformed into a cultural and tourist center with a beautiful panoramic view.
The region also boasts warm and clear water beaches, accompanied by coconut groves and a calm 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 nearby areas.
There, the sunset happens to the sound of Bolero by Ravel. You can closely witness 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 of the Tambaú coastline.
After lunch, we will check in. Enjoy the free afternoon to walk along the bustling Tambaú boardwalk, 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 center, visiting various tourist spots such as the São Francisco Cultural Center, Hotel Globo, among others. Listed by IPHAN as a National Historical and Artistic Heritage, the Historic Center of João Pessoa takes tourists on a journey through time. NOTE: Entrance tickets to 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 follow the shape of the central lake.
After lunch, we will have time for shopping at the Traditional Paraibano 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 neighboring 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 location with excellent facilities for lunch and/or snacks with our feet in the sand while enjoying the sea view. Next, we have a scheduled meeting for a spectacular sunset at the Jacaré River Beach.
There, at the mouth of the Paraíba River in Cabedelo, the late afternoon has color and soundtrack, in a grand open-air spectacle: the Sunset to the sound of Bolero by Ravel played by Paraibano musician Jurandy on the saxophone. Leaving from the pier at Jacaré River Beach, the boat takes a tour of the Paraíba River, accompanied by lots of music with the cangaceiro dancers Lampião and Maria Bonita, who perform folk dance 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 colorful cliffs. The gentle waves and freshwater rivers attract bathers, divers, and also those who just want to enjoy a beautiful view. The excellent structure of kiosks by the sea adds the final touch to enjoy 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 contemplate the view from 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 colorful cliffs). This same buggy ride will also visit the Princess Castle, 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 2Km from the coast of Poço Beach (in Cabedelo), Red Sand Island is formed by a huge sandbank of a different reddish color, covered by seawater, becoming visible only when the tide is low, forming natural pools of warm and clear water.
The transparent and warm waters of Red Sand Island 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 2069 (JPA 12:10 X GIG 15:15). We hope your trip has been unforgettable! Until next time!

Cancellations, Transfers, and Customer Cancellations
The CONTRACTED PARTY will reimburse the Contractor the amount due, calculated on the total actually received by the Contracted Party, excluding the amount of the commission retained, which should be dealt with the Travel Agent, as well as administrative fees and amounts already paid to suppliers.
In the occurrence of any of the mentioned hypotheses, the following administrative fees will be deducted from the total amount charged for the tourist package, in the following proportion:
- When the cancellation occurs 30 (thirty) days or more before the departure date of the trip: 10% (ten percent)
