LENCOIS MARANHENSES

Lençóis Maranhenses State Park, also known as the Brazilian Sahara, offers its visitors incredible scenery of infinite oceans and tall white dunes, as well as thousands of crystal-clear lakes. Lencois Maranhenses State Park is best reached from the city of Barreirinhas, where one can lodge, located three hours from Sao Luiz. From Barreirinhas to the park, tours are offered in 4x4 vehicles, crossing small rivers onboard thrilling wooden boats, driving through mile-long white sand dunes and fresh-water lakes.
