What you need to know about Lençóis Maranhenses tours in Brazil
Before you book, here is the lay of the land. The Lençóis Maranhenses National Park covers about 155,000 hectares of white sand dunes dotted with more than 36,000 rainwater lagoons, fed by the rains and framed by mangroves and the Preguiças River.
Almost every trip starts in São Luís, the capital of Maranhão, then continues 4 to 5 hours by road to one of three base towns: Barreirinhas, Atins, or Santo Amaro. From there, tours head into the dunes on foot, by 4×4, or on horseback.
Lençóis Maranhenses trekking & hiking tours
Most trips are treks. 2 to 5-day routes cross the dunes between oases like Baixa Grande and Queimada dos Britos, with nights in local homes and a swim in a different lagoon most afternoons.
