Sightseeing in the picturesque city of Natal is a favorite treat for a day's outing. Flying buffs can obtain their license to fly ultra-lights as this is a popular sport. In a few locations you can rent jet skies or hobi-cats.

- What language(s) is spoken in Rio Grande do Norte?
Portuguese is the primary language of Brazil, but quite a few persons (students and persons serving the tourist industry) speak English. Natal was the site of a large United States military base during World War II, and quite a few of the older people also speak some English although they lack practical use. Most of the young people learn some English in school and are crazy to try it out on you.

There are quite a few government run facilities available, and most communities have at least a Poste de saude. In Natal, there are also quite a few private clinics.
- What churches are in the area?
There are quite a few Catholic churches, but in the cities there are also protestant churches of all denominations.
