The Northeast Region is extremely well endowed with natural beauty, which are not limited simply to its beautiful beaches. As a result, this is one of the Brazilian regions with the greatest tourist potential, an activity that helps move and boost the local economy. Altogether, there are dozens or even hundreds of points with tourist potential involving natural resources, of which we will highlight the main ones.
One of the geographic advantages of the Northeast region is the fact that practically all of its states have three types of natural landscapes: the coastal ones (of which the beautiful beaches stand out), the dense forest and those related to the semiarid.
The beaches
The northeastern beaches are, without a doubt, among the most beautiful in Brazil and in the world. With beautiful landscapes favored by the wide coastal extension of the region, they also stand out for the diversity, with those that are better known and busy and those that are less agitated, catering to all preferences.
Among the main beaches, the following stand out: Porto Seguro (BA), Praia do Gunga (AL), Praia do Espelho (BA), Jericoacoara (CE), Canoa Quebrada (CE), Porto de Galinhas (PE), Genipabu (RN), Praia da Pipa (RN), in addition to many others.

Sightseeing Tours
Among the touristic tours, the biggest attractions are around the relief formations in dunes, in addition to some coastal points of high beauty. Among them, we can mention the Lençóis Maranhenses (MA), Lajedo de Soledade (RN), River Beach of the Jacaré (PB), the Passeio das Galés in Maragogi (AL), Ilha de Itaparica (BA), among countless others points.

Forests, Rivers and Waterfalls
The Northeast has three main types of forest domains: Atlantic Forest, Caatinga and, in some points, Cerrado. Therefore, this region has numerous natural beauties related to these phytogeographic formations, of which we highlight: Lençóis (municipality of Bahia with a large number of beautiful waterfalls), Pedra Caída Waterfall (MA), Paranaíba River Delta (PI), Serra da Capivara National Park (PI), Chapada Diamantina (BA) and countless other wonders natural.
