This circuit is a dialogue between two jewels of northeastern Brazil. The route begins in Salvador da Bahia, the country's first capital, where every cobblestone street in the Pelourinho resonates with the echoes of history, music, and a vibrant culture. You will feel the pulse of its traditions and the beauty of its baroque architecture.

Afterwards, a flight will take you to Natal, the 'City of the Sun,' a paradise of moving dunes, freshwater lagoons, and a coastline that invites adventure. An itinerary that perfectly balances cultural immersion with excitement and relaxation in nature.

Free day in Salvador to explore at your own pace or take optional excursions.
Thrilling buggy ride through the dunes and lagoons of Genipabu in Natal.

Booking & policies

Are the prices shown net or retail?

Rates are net (wholesale) and reserved for travel agencies and tour operators, who sign in to see them and add their own margin. Public visitors see an indicative retail “from” price; the net rate is never shown outside the B2B Portal.

What happens after I book?

When you book, we receive your booking and start working on it: it shows as “In process” and we let you know of every update. Vouchers are sent once payments have been received.

What is the cancellation policy?

Cancellations follow Clause 7 of the Terms: more than 30 days before the service, no penalty and a full refund; 15 to 30 days, 25%; 8 to 14 days, 50%; 3 to 7 days, 75%; less than 72 hours before commencement or a no-show, 100%. Certain destinations — Patagonia, the Amazon region and high-demand dates in peak season — apply stricter terms, stated in the quotation. The schedule above is indicative: the conditions that apply to each booking are those stated in the quotation, and may be stricter in high season, on public holidays or where a service has its own policy.

Can dates or passenger names be changed after booking?

Amendment requests must reach RUMBO LIBRE at least 72 business hours before the service begins. Changes are managed subject to availability, and any resulting rate difference applies. For private services, a name change may require re-issuing the booking at the current rate.
