Description
After pick up at the hotels, you will proceed to one of the biggest attractions of the region, the Lençóis Maranhenses National Park. Located on the banks of the Preguiças River, it has 155 thousand hectares of stunning scenery, full of dunes up to 40 meters high and lagoons of fresh and crystalline water.
It will be necessary to make a ferry crossing on the Preguiças River before proceeding in the 4x4 vehicle on a trail (15 km) through the dunes. At the FINAL of the trail ride, you will begin a walk in the sand (shoes optional, if you want to walk with bare feet to feel the sand) where you will catch beautiful views of the park. You will also see several lagoons that are formed by seasonal rains. Depending on time of year, you can enjoy a refreshing swim in Lagoa Azul (May to August) or Lagoa Esperança (September to April) and marvel at the sunset show. After the day’s activities you will NEXT return to Barreirinhas with arrival scheduled for 7 pm.

Not to be missed
Booked at the last minute and it was a great call. The pace was comfortable, neither rushed nor dull. Very tight on timings. If you are in Barreirinhas, do not miss it.

Best day of our stay in Barreirinhas. Far less stressful than haggling for a taxi outside the airport. Getting through Barreirinhas was quick and direct.

Una de las mejores cosas que hicimos en Barreirinhas. No teníamos idea de la historia de Dunas dos Lençóis Maranhenses. El guía respondió hasta las preguntas más raras con datos precisos. Volveríamos a contratarlo.

So glad we booked this. I did not expect professional Guide - Portuguese speaking to be included, a nice bonus. Do it early, fewer people and much better light. Barreirinhas blew us away, we were not expecting that. I would recommend it without hesitation.

Fue el mejor día de nuestro viaje a Buenos Aires. El chofer nos fue contando qué era cada cosa hasta Lençóis Maranhenses. Viajamos con dos chicos y las sillitas ya estaban puestas. Totalmente recomendado.
