Lençóis Maranhenses One of The Most Beautiful Destinations

Considered one of the most beautiful destinations in the country, the Lençóis Maranhenses combine miles and miles of white dunes dotted with freshwater lakes, sometimes blue or green. The gateway to heaven, protected by National Park status, is the city of Barreirinhas.

 

From there, the start is given to the exploration of the scenery, which is even more exuberant between the months of June and September, when the lagoons are completely full.

To know the main Lençóis postcards - and other little known places - the support of tourism agencies is essential. To enter the reservation, for example, it is necessary to accompany an accredited guide.

As for the circular area filled with sand trails and rivers, only vehicles with four-wheel drive or boat. These are the only ways to get to Lagoas Azul, an immense pool that lives up to its name; And Bonita, which requires the climbing of a 40 meter high dune.

All sacrifices, however, are rewarded for refreshing baths, the unique landscapes and the sunset on means to sand hills.

It is also the jeeps and boats that lead to neighboring villages with less explored attractions. Santo Amaro do Maranhao is the largest lagoon in the region, the Seagull.

Already Atins village is the easiest access to the beach sheets, with 70 kilometers long and completely deserted - except in season winds, which attracts brasilerios and foreign kite enthusiasts that guarantee a color more in the fantastic scenery.
