In this coastal region of the Brazilian Northeast, along the Route of Emotions which includes the states of Maranhão, Piauí and Ceará, temperatures fluctuate between 37 ° and 22 ° throughout the year and the climate is hot and semi-humid. The rainy season runs from January to May; this period is indicated for those who can not stand the excessive heat; the dry season begins in June and goes until December, at this time the sun is steady and strong; this is definitely the best period for hiking.
We remind that due to the dry season, some lagoons of the National Park of Lençóis Maranhenses you can meet in the dry period from October to February.
In the afternoon, at 14:00, we will depart in a non-air-conditioned 4x4 jeep. We will cross the Rio Preguiças by barge and then follow a sandy trail that leads to the entrance of the Great Lençóis Maranhenses National Park. From here, we will begin a hike across the dunes to explore the beautiful area of Laguna Bonita. We will have the opportunity to swim in fresh, crystal-clear lagoons formed between the dunes. The rains, which fall between February and June, create numerous clear lagoons, some green and others blue, with depths of up to 4 meters. The strong winds, especially in the second half of the year, cause the dunes to shift by up to 20 meters per year, constantly reshaping the landscape, which is never the same from one season to the next.
We will return to the city after 19:00, after witnessing a breathtaking sunset among the dunes.
