More information

Located in the state of Maranhão, the Lençóis Maranhenses National Park is one of Brazil’s most breathtaking and iconic natural wonders. This unique landscape of sand dunes, mangroves, and crystal-clear lagoons has earned its status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site — and it’s easy to see why.

What Are the Lençóis Maranhenses?

Covering more than 1,500 km² (370,000 acres), Lençóis Maranhenses National Park is one of Brazil’s most exotic and stunning destinations. Between June and September, this national park is subject to rainy season, during which time rainwater collects between the dunes, forming hundreds of shimmering freshwater lagoons. The result? A surreal, otherworldly landscape that looks like it belongs in a dream.

Must-visit lagoons of Lençóis Maranhenses

While thousands of lagoons appear during the rainy season, a few stand out for their size, beauty, and popularity:

  • Laguna Azul (Blue Lagoon) – The most famous and beloved of all, known for its striking turquoise waters and ideal conditions for swimming.

  • Laguna Bonita (Beautiful Lagoon) – A favorite for photographers, thanks to the sweeping panoramic views of the surrounding dunes.

  • Lagoa das Modificadas (Lagoon of the Modified) – A magical, postcard-perfect spot where several lagoons merge naturally, creating an unforgettable scene.

How to visit Lençóis Maranhenses

The easiest and most hassle-free way to explore the park is by joining an organized tour. Civitatis offer packages that include 4x4 or quad rides for thrill seekers. You can also enjoy guided hiking routes and multi-day tours available for those who want to fully immerse themselves in this mesmerizing environment.
