Guide #59900
Welcome to Natal and Rio Grande do Norte! I was born in the Seridó region, in the countryside of the state, and have lived in Natal since childhood. This connection with both the coast and the interior has given me a deep appreciation for the landscapes, history, traditions and people of Rio Grande do Norte. My interest in other cultures began when I represented Brazil in the Rotary Youth Exchange Program in Germany. Living abroad was a formative experience that strengthened my interest in travelling, meeting people from different backgrounds and sharing cultures. I graduated in History from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte and am a licensed History teacher. During my studies, I was also involved in research at LEHS-UFRN, a laboratory dedicated to Colonial History. This academic background helps me place the places we visit within the broader history of Natal, Rio Grande do Norte and Brazil. I am also very interested in the local food culture. Natal has an excellent selection of seafood, regional dishes and restaurants, and I am always happy to introduce visitors to both traditional flavours and places genuinely enjoyed by local people. My tours are private and can be adapted to your interests, pace and available time. Whether you are interested in history, landscapes, beaches, regional food or everyday local life, I will be glad to help create an experience that suits you. Feel free to contact me so we can discuss your plans and design a memorable visit to Natal and Rio Grande do Norte.

Leandro was a fun and knowledgeable guide. He teaches history and other subjects in local schools and offers candid insight about local culture and history. The tour hit all of the usual local attractions, but we also included a dune buggy ride (at additional cost), which was frankly much more fun than we expected. Leandro's commentary put the area and Brazil itself Into...
