LENÇÓIS MARANHENSES
The Lençóis Maranhenses National Park, a conservation marvel, is famed for its undulating white dunes that stretch along the coastline, interspersed with crystal-clear freshwater lagoons, a product of the rainy season.
Spanning 155,000 hectares with 90,000 comprising dunes and natural pools, this destination offers unparalleled adventure and nature contemplation.
Home to Brazil's second-longest coastline, Maranhão boasts the unique distinction of harboring the world's only desert filled with thousands of crystalline lakes.
Situated 250 kilometers from São Luís, the capital, Lençóis Maranhenses is South America's largest dune field.
Access to this natural wonder is through locales such as Barreirinhas, Atins, and Santo Amaro, with Santo Amaro being the closest to the park, offering access to the tallest dunes and most secluded lakes, with fewer visitors where you see birds such as Murici, Gaivota and Betânia.
