Duration of trip: All day.

FIFTH DAY:

Praia do Amor (Beach of Love)
The preferred beach among visitors is the Praia Do amor, or Beach of Love, where a few beach huts and a bunch of surfers — attracted by the rough waters and good waves — give it a “ hang loose” air. The cliffs frame the white sand, and from up high, toast tourists with an unforgettable view and unmatched picture-taking opportunities. Accessible from the cliff top by an improvised staircase or by walking from Pipa’s Central Beach over and around the beach rocks — but only at low tide. Where did its romantic name com from? They say it originated from the beach’s sensuous curves that lend it a heart-shaped appearance.

Another recreation option in Pipa:
Kayak rides and snorkelling in the Guaraíras Lagoon. With little effort you can witness the exuberance of nature and some unforgettable scenery. Leaving by way of Tibau do Sul Beach (with the rising tide), with swim stops and an incursion into the labyrinthine canals of the Guaraíras mangrove. Return to the kickoff point when the tide is ebbing.

Duration: 2 ½ - 3 hours, depending on the route,

OR

Horse Riding
There are adventures for all palates and anyone can join in! Even those who have never ridden before. For beginners, it is a good idea to try the unforgettable Sunset Ride in Tibau do Sul.
