Lençóis Maranhenses National Park

Santo Amaro do Maranhão, Brazil

4.5 (0)

Overview

National park in northeastern Brazil, known for its rolling dunes and fresh water lagoons. It sits on the northeast coast, which is warm and sunny almost year-round.

Why visit: Lençóis Maranhenses — white dunes to the horizon with thousands of blue-green rainwater lagoons between them, and nothing else like it.

Things to do

›Time it for July or August — the rainwater lagoons dry up by December
›Go by 4x4 with a licensed operator; there are no roads
›Swim in the lagoons, which are warm and clear
›Stay for sunset, when the sand turns colour
