How to get to Touros (RN) from Natal airport

If you are searching for how to get to Touros, in Rio Grande do Norte, the short answer is this: the starting point we use here is Natal airport, and from there it is about 99 km and 94 minutes, according to a ride-hailing app estimate. That is an average. Traffic, time of day and the route the driver picks all change the number.

Our region guide, published on 17/09, covers what to see in Touros. This article answers the question that comes first: how to get there.

Natal airport to Touros: what we can state

Natal airport, code NAT, is in São Gonçalo do Amarante, about 26 km from the center of Natal, according to Wikipedia. Its official name is Aeroporto Internacional do Rio Grande do Norte/São Gonçalo do Amarante - Governador Aluízio Alves. If you land there, you are already outside the state capital, and that matters when you plan your day.

For the stretch from the airport to Touros, our figure comes from the Uber route page, opened on 02/10/2026:

• Origin: Natal airport (NAT)
• Destination: Touros (RN)
• Distance: 99 km (app average)
• Time: about 94 minutes (1.6 hours) (depends on traffic and time of day)

The page itself says the route the driver takes may vary with time of day and traffic. For an official measure, check DER/RN or DNIT.

Why the time changes

The 94 minutes cover the road stretch only. Add the time between landing and leaving the airport, with luggage and the wait for your ride. If you plan to stop for food or fuel, add that too.

A same-day round trip means a little over three hours on the road, adding both directions. It is worth thinking about staying a night in the region.

The BR-101 route on the north coast

The BR-101 ends in Touros: the northernmost stretch of the highway is in the municipality, according to Wikipedia. Cajueiro Boulevard, the gated community where Caju Paradise sits, is at BR-101 Km 3.

The app may pick different routes between the airport and Touros. On the day you travel, open the route in your map app and check it before leaving. Download the offline map, because signal can drop on some stretches.
