What to expect

Lençóis Maranhenses lagoons

Your full-day tour of Lençóis Maranhenses focuses on its freshwater lagoons, reached by 4x4 across the sand. Time at each lagoon is flexible so your group can make the most of the conditions on the day.

Features

• A freshwater lagoon is your first major stop in the morning, where you can swim and relax while your guide decides how long to stay so the group gets the best use of the day.
• During the rainy season, your expert guide may lead you to seasonal cascades around the Bonzinho or Ponta do Mangue areas, where it is sometimes possible to enjoy another dip, depending on weather conditions.
• Throughout this part of the route, 4x4 Toyota transport is included, and your professional guide is on hand to explain the area and manage the pace of the visit.

Canto do Atins Beach

Canto do Atins Beach is the next key destination, where the dunes meet the sea. This coastal stretch offers a change of scenery after the morning in the inland lagoons.

Features

• After leaving the first lagoon, the 4x4 Toyota takes you to Canto do Atins Beach so you can swim in the sea and experience the shoreline that borders the Lençóis Maranhenses area.

Atins village

At midday and early afternoon, the focus shifts to Atins village, reached by a short 4x4 drive from Canto do Atins. You spend time here for lunch and to see the village itself.
