Impressive place, one of the planet's natural heritage sites. Immense dunes and lagoons with crystal clear waters, all with the heat of the northeast. It's really worth knowing. Redefine your concept of dunes.

We crossed with Junior, mediated by Carlos Queimada. It was 5 incredible days with breathtaking landscapes and a lot of learning about nature and a way of living so different from mine (I think this is something that really enriched my experience). I am so grateful for the affection of the people who gave space in their homes to welcome us with kindness.

Amazing lunar scenarios. My suggestion is to prefer Santo Amaro Lencois than the Lencois near to Barreirinhas. Near to Barreirinhas the best is no doubt Lagoa Bonita while Lagoa Azul can be skipped.

If you're looking for a view with lots of waterlogged lagoons like the one in the Guide, June is the best time to do so, just after the rainy season ends. I visited in mid-July, and there were only about 3-4 lagoons where I could swim, as far as the 4WD tour was concerned. The rest is barely any water left and you can see the base of the water grass, so it looks unphotogenic. However, in the first place, the dune area of Lençois is a large area by the sea where some vegetation is thin, and there is a green area on the sand along the way from San Luis. Therefore, rather than being completely white, to be honest, I was concerned about the traces of vegetation. There is also a large wind farm area around, and the windmill is reflected in the distance. It is certainly a beautiful spot, but I have the impression that I caught a glimpse of why it is said to be a disappointing tourist destination.

A spectacular landscape worth visiting. In the season it is quite crowded and it is difficult to take a walk without meeting with (many) other groups. The following points may be recurring to all operators, but I think they are points that you can improve to offer a differentiated service. First of all, I found that the training of the guides was very weak with most of them conforming to take the tourists there and there without giving much explanation. Another point is, there are probably demarcated routes, so they take you to the lugars that everybody goes and are full. There are people who fit, but it's worth walking 10 minutes to find a place away from the muvuca. That a good Guide would have noticed. Companies adhere very much to the basics, for example: in Maranhão it makes a bad heat, I think providing a bottle of water for the passengers as a courtesy would be glad. The company needs to focus on offering experiences and not just tours. Regarding the food during the trips, I find the service abusive. The meals at the various locations are not bad, and are well served. But the price is abusive for what is offered. Again, it could be much better, especially by the amount you pay.

The photos do not make sense to the vastness of the place. It's very beautiful. Despite the heat sale quite. The waters in the lagoons are warm because they are shallow. Some are deep, guides warn when some do not walk. Sand doesn't burn the foot, it can go barefoot. The dark glasses, sunscreen and hat are muuuuito welcome. No alcoholic beverages in the park. Bring your water.

My recent visit to Barreirinhas was simply magical. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed by the warmth and friendliness of the local people. Barreirinhas is the gateway to the stunning Lençóis Maranhenses, and let me tell you that the photos do not do them justice. Seeing in person those undulating white dunes contrasting with the crystal clear lagoons is an experience that will remain etched in my memory forever. We were lucky enough to make several excursions, including an amazing 4x4 crossing through the National Park and a boat ride along the Preguiças River. Each activity was well organized and allowed us to deeply connect with the unique nature of the region. The diversity of landscapes and the sense of peace that you breathe in every corner is incomparable. In addition, the local cuisine was a real delight. We tasted traditional dishes that stood out for their freshness and flavor, always accompanied by the characteristic hospitality of the region. Without a doubt, Barreirinhas exceeded all our expectations. We are sure we will return to continue exploring this natural paradise. If you are looking for a combination of adventure, relaxation and natural beauty, Barreirinhas is the perfect destination. We are already planning our next visit!

How wonderful is this our Brazil...if you have never been to Maranhans sheets don't waste time...go. It's at least stunning, especially by Santo Amaro. The landscape is something of magical dunes that give the feeling of being on another planet, crystal clear lagoons. Impermissible.

A spectacular tour of Maranhans sheets from Santo Amaro. From transfer we went to Santo Amaro, from where we started the tour to the Circuit Bethânia with the Lagoas Andorinha, Bethânia and Gaivota. Some already almost dry, but the stops conducted by the Guide in other lagoons was enough to present the beauty of the place. Spectacular dives in the lagoons and a fantastic slide through the dunes. Top too!!! We spent lunch in the village of Bethania, accessed by a small boat in a river with clear waters. Super capricious lunch!!

A unique experience in Brazil, but keep an eye on some important details. The time of year makes a difference. Not only because of possible rains that will mess your walks, but also because everything changes according to the period: the color of the sand, the transparency of the water and even the prices. There were small rainstorms, but it didn't bother. It was also not the ideal time to visit the Lençóis, according to the locals. It is not possible to get to the National Park alone, you need a guide or group, it is mandatory, always inform in hotels or guesthouses. Barreirinhas (the city that functions as QG of the Lençóis) is a very interesting town, everyone friendly and concerned, fair and honest people. You can ask without fear. Most prices are tabulated.
