Parque Nacional dos Lençóis Maranhenses

Hidden gem! One of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been to. Although there’s lagoons all year round, it’s best to visit on the rainy season when lagoons are full. Make sure to bring long sleeve top with UV protection and a hat or cap, there’s no shade anywhere.

One of the most incredible places I visited in my life. The regular rains from May to July create a series of lagoons between the dunes. And the fresh water in the lagoons doesn't run off through the sand, thanks to a layer of impermeable rock underneath. The lagoons got little fish and you can fell their small bites in your skin. The water is nice and got Caribbean temperature. You can only get into the park with credentialed tourist guide.

One of the most beautiful places on earth! Amazing 🤩
The best day trip was from Santo Amaro to the lençóis in a 4x4 travelling through the dunes

Miracle! Breathtaking view! Incredible! We booked a trip to see Lagoa Azul and Lagoa Bonita with the sunset.
Must see at least once in your life

I've been to a lot of places around the world and as such I am no longer easily impressed or "wowed" by most things. But damn, this is a cool place if I've ever seen one. It's one of those places that's just so remote and challenging to reach that it naturally weeds out the most annoying type of travelers, which I love.

Very beautiful and unique place. It is almost like being transported to another planet. I highly recommend the visit to the park and spend a day walking over the dunes and taking a dive in the natural lagoons that are formed by the rain.

Now there is not much water, but still a very interesting place. Don't miss when you're nearby.

A must see in the bucket list. Infinite number of lagos, amazing tours and the possibility to kite surf in a lagoon or go through the desert with an ATV

Absolutely stunning. You’ve likely seen pictures via social media and national geo magazines - we can confirm it is everything you expect and more. One tip would be to forgo the individual half-day tours and find a guide who will take you hiking within the park. We paid 600 R$ for two in order to visit Lagoa Azul and hike 10 miles within the park to Lagoa Bonita. There were plenty of rest stops in between and we had the dunes and lesser known lagoons all to ourselves. We were shocked no one else followed or was seen in 4 hours. A dessert playground all to ourselves. It does get hot, so bring plenty of sunscreen, water and snacks.

By far this has been the most beautiful & breathtaking place I’ve visited in Brazil. Untouched by man, nature is perfect... and this oasis is a prime example of that. Truly a spectacle, with multiple clear lagoons and white sand dunes. A bucket list must!

It was an amazing experience to be there. The place is personally more impressive than Salar de Uyuni. I have never seen that beautiful white desert with clear water. I'd love to go back anytime. the best place I've ever visited in Brazil.

This is an astonishing miracle and nature beauty that everyones who loves beach should visit. Incredible sights, blue water, white sand and a good place to relax and energize your body and soul

As yet it's a totally unspoiled area of other worldly natural beauty.

Must visit in Brasil. Enjoyed so much. 4x4 to and flo is also a very good experience especially taking the boat ride cross the river.

Sky was full of star in 4x4 on way back. The hot coxinha bought at the tiny shop at boat jetty on way back was a surprise. Best coxinha i ate in Brazil so far.

6 stars for this wonderful, unique place on this planet. I recommend to do a 2 days trip into the deserto. Stay in an oásis, sleep in a hammock, enjoy the stars, the tranquilidade, the sunrise and sunset, the hike, the loneliness, the swimming in the lagoas... It is just magic. And please: take care of this unique place! You will geht back to real life with a BIG SMILE!

One of the best places ever seen in my whole life. I went there through the agency sao paulo ecoturismo and they brought us to different laggons. I simply loved it !

Breathtaking landscapes! To reach this place only with an experienced tour guide 'cause we cross many lagoons by car and there is a high risk of getting stuck in the mud.

I had no idea that something so amazing existed on this planet. By all means, find a way to include this location on your trip to Brazil!! There are various tours that will allow you access to the park by boat, truck, and airplane. I did all three, but I think being able to see the park by air really lets you grasp how vast this area is.

Absolutely beautiful location - a desert of fine white sand, turquoise crystal clear pools, the shapes and shadows of the rolling dunes.

It one if the best hike I ever made, everything was wonderful. The park give you landscape that takes your breath away everytime . Do the two day hike totaly worth it !!!!
