Natal is the capital city and the biggest city in the north eastern state of Rio Grande do Norte, in Brazil. Hiring a car in Natal lets you explore this city with a great mixture of attractions. There are the natural sites like the largest cashew tree in the world, as well as more city like places like the Natal City Park which features some great architecture. There is also an off season carnival called Carnatal, taking place towards the end of the year, the streets are open for the Brazilian party. If you do consider car hire in Natal, then be aware of the dates should you be visiting in November or December, to avoid arriving to a largely blocked off city.
Rent a car in Natal and visit the Dunas Park which covers an impressive 1,172 hectares of land. Here you can observe many plant and animal species which are native to the Atlantic Forest and there are also tours available of the trail though the park accompanied by trained guides. Drive over to the Natal Aquarium which is located between the Oceanica Avenue and the beach. Here you can discover 60 different marine species in 30 aquariums. These species have been collected from the Brazilian coasts themselves and included piranhas, sea horses, lobsters, octopus and more. Don't forget the beautiful Brazilian beaches either - Pipa Beach is out of the city for a more scenic feel, but it can still get busy.
