Cicloturismo - Caicó
Welcome to the Seridó! You are our guest to get to know one of the most special places in this country. It's so special that our ancestors chose it as their home; proof of this is in the hundreds of archeological sites found in the region.

It can even become a little hard to say in which season it is more beautiful: rainy or dry season. Seven days will be too little time for you to walk, pedal, row, observe wild animals, practice vertical techniques and appreciate one of the most exotic sceneries of the brazilian countryside. All in between the bushes of the caatinga and the hospitality of the people of the Seridó.
