In the buggy rides for the dunes, the local guides show the sceneries of the soap opera, reminding the most outstanding facts, like: "it was here where Tieta kissed the so-and-so", "it was there where Tieta kept her goats... ". Besides, the place is used as sceneries for films and videoclips. he village is simple, but it has electric power and public phones, and also a cell phone antenna in the middle of the city.

Some buggys and off-roads cars ride around the city. The village is between Real river's edge and the dunes that extend to the beach. From up on the dunes, one can see the whole immensity of sand, several coconut trees buried until the top, some donkeys and cows and the river flowing out into the sea. It is an awesome view. The buggy ride costs between 10 and 20 bucks and it lasts about 40 minutes with stops for pictures. At about 1,5 km from the village return to the hotel..
