	Brazil by Bike

In conjunction with Andetur Brazilian Travel Club, there is a new and exciting eco-adventure here in Rio Grande do Norte. The club provides cyclists with bike rentals, scheduled and non-scheduled rides along the coast or in the interior of the Seridó - Sertão region of the northeast, discounted tour rates, a grass roots bike team, and an outlet for information and discussion on various cycling topics. Spearheading this effort is Donald Reid - director of Andetur and Walter Cabral, a bilingual Brazilian biker for over ten years. As hosts, their extensive knowledge will benefit every type of cyclist. Come join us now! We are looking forward to great cycling experiences and comaraderie with all our new club members. See Ya soon!

We can accommodate large or small groups. Our tour guides have a vast knowledge of tour attractions, are first aid certified, and carry first aide kits. We carry cell phones for emergencies and fit all riders with helmets.

OBJETIVOS - Buscar um intercâmbio cultural entre os ambientes envolvidos na viagem, através da troca direta de conhecimento (diálogo com a população local). Coletar informações de interesse sobre as áreas visitadas, e levantar dados no que diz respeito ao tipo de infra-estrutura que é oferecida aos turistas que procuram, por exemplo, usufruir dos Parques Nacionais Brasileiros como um recurso de lazer e recreação. Associar o cicloturismo como um meio para se atingir uma consciência ambiental mais ampla, bem como sua eficácia em demonstrar a importância de se preservar o meio ambiente. Despertar nas pessoas não apenas a bicicleta para uso no cotidiano, mas como um meio para se conhecer novos lugares e realizar viagens, praticando então o cicloturismo. Apresentar a bicicleta como um meio de transporte não poluente, e um ótimo recurso para se minimizar problemas como poluição e trânsito nas cidades. Buscar maiores conhecimentos dentro da área das Ciências, do Homem, e da Natureza de maneira geral junto a população e a comunidade científica. Por fim, enriquecer o conhecimento pessoal, no que diz respeito ao resgate de fontes para o amadurecimento intelectual, através da interligação entre as diversas áreas do conhecimento humano.

Associating cicloturismo (bike touring) as a means to build a more amplified social and ambiental conscience, as well as demonstrating the importance of preserving the environment. To present the bicycle as a means of non-poluting transport, an ideal resource to minimize problems with polution and traffic in the cities. To gain better knowledge in the areas of Sciences, of Mankind, and Nature generally with the local polulation and the scientic community. Finally, to enrich our own personal knowledge.

ANDETUR BRAZILIAN TRAVEL CLUB´S CYCLING ADVENTURES

We'd like to help you experience the real culture of Brazil by visiting the interior on one of our unique bicycle tours! Don’t expect the usual crowded destination, fenced-off tourist hotel, or insular vans and buses. Do expect a fun, intellectual, emotional, spiritual and socially enriching experience. Most of our programs or trips are a week to two-weeks long, and many of our tour programs are designed to be combined with a subsequent, contrasting program to allow up to four-week holidays.

The idea is to promote and support fascinating, affordable, small group, cultural immersion, bicycle tours, to special destinations, for ordinary active people. Our activities focus on the diversity and complexity of the history, economy, culture and environment, and enjoying beautiful bicycling. Unique bike tours, to special places, for memories of a lifetime, are our objectives.

The routes and proposed destinations shown on the map above have been suppested from experience by members of the Cicloturismo Association of Brazil. Cycling in Brazil, especially in the south of the country, is an extremely popular and growing sport..
