Travel
Welcome to Pipa, Rio Grande do Norte!
We’re beyond excited to have you here to celebrate our wedding in the breathtaking coastal paradise of Pipa.
Known for its stunning beaches, dramatic cliffs, and warm waters, Pipa offers a relaxed, welcoming vibe that makes it the perfect setting for this special occasion.
We chose Pipa not only for its natural beauty and laid-back spirit but also because it’s where Kip proposed to Laura—a memory that makes this place even more meaningful to us.
We hope you take the time to explore, unwind, and create lasting memories while you’re here.
Thank you for traveling to share this moment with us—we’re so grateful you’ll be there!

Airport
Natal’s airport (NAT) is your final stop in Brazil, where you'll begin your adventure in this stunning coastal city.
Flight Connections:
Direct flights to Natal are rare so most travelers will connect through São Paulo (GRU).
From NYC to São Paulo (GRU): The flight typically takes about 10 hours.
From São Paulo (GRU) to Natal (NAT): The connecting flight is approximately 4 hours.
Typical Flight Schedule:
Due to time zone differences, most flights departing from the U.S. arrive in the early morning at GRU. After a brief layover, you'll then take a midday flight to Natal, arriving around 4 PM local time.
Transportation
For getting around, we recommend using Uber.
Uber is reliable and widely used in Brazil, and since most of you already use it, it should be straightforward and convenient during your stay.
On May 28th, we’ll be traveling together from Natal to Pipa. If you plan to arrive before May 28th and stay in Natal, please let us know so we can coordinate accordingly.

There are many wonderful hotels in Pipa, RN, but we especially recommend Sombra e Água Fresca for your stay.

Please note that Pipa is a small beach village, and accommodations tend to fill up quickly.
We encourage you to book as soon as possible to secure your preferred hotel.
We hope this helps you plan your stay, and we can’t wait to celebrate with you!
