Remaining part of the day is to visit the city.
Overnight stay in São Luís with breakfast.
Set out in the morning between 6:50 am and 7:40 am in an air-conditioned bus up to 30 seats travelling along 270 km of paved road bound for Barreirinhas (gateway to Lençóis Maranhenses); trip duration 5 hours.
In the afternoon at 2.00 pm, after accommodation in the hotel, departure with a 4X4 jeep ( no air conditioning), Rio Preguiça is crossed by barge and then take the sand path to continue the trip until the Grandes Lençois Maranhenses National Park .
Then the trip begins with an excursion on foot to visit to the dunes where you will visit the Lagoa Azul and Lagoa do Peixe or Lagoa Bonita. Here you can dive into the lagoons with fresh and crystalline waters that form between the immensity of the dunes. The rains of the months from February to June create the countless lagoons of crystalline waters, some green and others blue, all very clear, some up to 4 meters deep.
The intense winds in the region, especially in the second half of the year, constantly move the dunes up to almost 20 meters per year, ensuring that the landscape is never the same from one year to the next.
Return to city after 6:00 pm, after admiring an exciting sunset in the dunes.
