About this experience

The tour to Tatajuba begins with a stop at the Guriú, a river that joins the sea and forms a salty lagoon, the Gamboa.

Aboard a canoe, we will navigate this river observing the seahorses that reside in the region (optional). We will also visit the mangrove cemetery, where the skeletons of the trees remain, a beautiful setting that connects with nature in a surprising way.

In Tatajuba we will see a blue-green lagoon in addition to numerous impressive dunes. The region has a very peculiar history, in which the community was buried by the dunes around 30 years ago due to the wind and the entire town had to be rebuilt by the residents, taking the name of Novo (new) Tatajuba.

After a day full of surprises, we will return to the selected passenger hotels.
