• The Lencois Maranhenses National Park (Parque Nacional dos Lencois Maranhenses) is in the state of Maranhao, in the north eastern region of Brazil, and is located to the east of Baía de São José. The landscape of this region is completely unique, comprising of low flat lands that gets flooded seasonally, along with white sandy dunes. Covering an area of about 1000 sq km, there is very little vegetation, despite the abundance of rain. The area has a unique and rather rare ecosystem, consisting of mangroves, beaches, and buriti palm trees, all shaped by the Preguiças River.

• The Lencois Maranhenses looks like a desert at first glance, with its white sandy dunes, but its temperature remains steadily between 25°C (77°F) and 35°C (95°F), quite unlike the typical desert. There is usually a cool breeze to temper the hot sun of the Lencois Maranhenses. Even though it might look like a desert, the region is just outside the Amazon basin and receives a large amount of rain annually. The rainy season lasts from January to June, and freshwater collects in valleys of the sand dunes, forming clear blue and green lagoons that are at their fullest from July to September. The remaining months of the year remain dry, and the lagoons drain of their water, some completely and others partially.
• The ideal time to visit Lencois Maranhenses the area is just after the rainy season, from May to October, when the lagoons are full and the temperatures quite moderate.
• The Lencois Maranhenses National Park is a wonderful place to connect with nature. Bring light clothing such as shirts, shorts, sandals such as Papete, hats, swimwear and a raincoat. A few warm clothes are recommended for the nights. Also remember to carry sunscreen, sunglasses and bug repellent.
