About the itinerary

Trek across the sweeping white dunes of Lençóis Maranhenses National Park, with sand so soft you can make the trip in your bare feet.

This vast expanse of dunes looks like an archetypical desert, but the blue and green lagoons that spring up during the rainy season let you stop for a refreshing dip along the way.

At the beginning and end of your trip, explore São Luís do Maranhão, also known as “Brazilian Jamaica.” Founded by the French in 1612, this vibrant city is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
