The famous dunes of Genipabu represent a site of natural and exotic beauty comprised of hills of sand covered with vegetation 'mata'. When the buggy driver makes the question: 'Com ou sem emoção?', if you answer “Com emoção.”, prepare yourself for a lot of excitement as the 'bugueiro' will drive down the steep slopes at high speeds, cutting through the dunes, providing unforgettable moments in a 'natural roller coaster'.
At the top of these dunes, you can admire the Genipabu Beach, the sea and the magnificent crystalline water lakes of the region, a real delight of bluish colors contrasting with the whiteness of the sands...
Amongst the dunes, you have the impression to be in a desert, especially when the wind is blowing. It is wise to wear sunglasses and sunscreen, because the sun and winds near the beaches are very strong.
Another attraction of dune park, an original ride on a dromedary, source of amusement and unforgettable photos... Also do not miss the opportunity to visit the magnificent fixed dunes of the 'Água das Dunas' ecological park.
