Pipa!

On our route back down to Rio a very important stop was a little town about 2 hours away from Natal called Pipa. We´d been told by friends we absolutely had to go there and that it rivals Jeri in terms of beach and beauty..we were very excited- it had a lot to live up to! And we were not disappointed- Pipa was great! There were a few lovely beaches to choose from and our favourite was Praia dos Golfinhos. This beach was the 2nd best beach we have come across on this trip (after Ilha Grande in southern Brazil)- it was absolutely beautiful- white sanded pristine beach surrounded by limestone cliffs.

However our most favourite thing about this beach was that dolphins come and play in the bay everyday at low tide!! It was incredible- we turned up about midday everyday and swam out to see them. They would come right up to us- we were so close to them and could hear the funny dolphin noises they make!! We spent 4 days at Pipa and swam with the dolphins every day. So Pipa definitely wins on the beach and dolphin front, but Jeri is still my favourite place we have been!
