Lençóis Maranhenses, Brazil

                          Lençóis Maranhenses, Brazil



ABOUT
Stretching on for miles upon miles, the sand dunes in Brazil's Lençóis Maranhenses National Park are so vast and so blindingly white that it's easy to see how the park got its name—Lençóis Maranhenses, in Portuguese, literally means "bedsheets of Maranhão," the northeastern coastal state where the national park is found.
Two rivers run through the Lençóis Maranhenses—these rivers push sand from the interior of the continent to the Atlantic Ocean, depositing thousands of tons of sediment along Brazil's northern coast. This alone isn't a unique phenomenon—sediment flowing through rivers helps form beaches along many coastlines. But in Lençóis Maranhenses, the sand doesn't stay put. During the dry season, especially during the months of October and November, powerful winds from the equatorial Atlantic whip the sand back inland, carrying it as far as 30 miles and creating the vast, sculpted sand dunes for which the park is famous.

What to Do in Lençóis Maranhenses:
1: Ride the sand dunes aboard a jeep with experienced guides and stop for a dip in the lagoons
2: Ride a boat on the Preguiças River with a stop at Pequenos Lençóis and at riverside kiosks
3: Visit the Preguiças lighthouse in Mandacaru
4: Fly over the park ,( About $100 for a 30-minute flight)
5: Take a day-long quad ride to Pequenos Lençóis
6: Go tubing on the Formiga River in Cardosa

7: Access to the park is controlled by ICMBIO and only certified agencies can take travelers. There         are no amenities except in Barreirinhas and in the villages.
