Located in the northeastern tip of Brazil, Natal has several tourist attractions and is famous for its natural beauty – most notably the crystalline waters of Maracajaú. Also renowned are its historical monuments and buildings (such as the Forte dos Reis Magos, the Alberto Maranhão Theatre and Newton Navarro bridge), its beaches (such as Ponta Negra, Pipa and Genipabu) and its off-season carnival, the Carnatal. The city also boasts the second largest urban park in Brazil, the Parque das Dunas.
