Endless dunes and lagoons...
Welcome to the Lençóis Maranhenses desert !
The wind sweeps and moves the dunes all year round. The dunes are covered by a thin layer of sand that does not burn the soles of the feet...
The lagoons fill between January and July, and empty between August and December.
But even in December, there are lagoons to enjoy a great swim !
Arriving inside the Lençóis Maranhenses by 4x4...
Starting the trekking...
The infinity, the beauty and the silence of the desert just for us... A privilege without equal !
The magnificent freshwater lagoons compete in originality by their shape, color, extent,...
The lagoons offer an incredible scenario for photographers...
... and selfie lovers !
One of the pleasures of trekking is crossing the freshwater lagoons on foot !
Watching the sky lying on the warm sand !
Arriving at Baixa Grande oasis...
The typical habitat of the Lençóis Maranhenses oases
Wood branches and planks for the structure and the fence, braided straw for the roof and the "walls", only materials extracted from the oasis
The light at the end of the day reveals pretty color contrasts from the top of the dunes...
... minutes before the sunset on the dunes of the Baixa Grande oasis
Contemplation, meditation,... one never tires of these magnificent landscapes
Approaching the ocean, the lagoons become more sparse, the dunes gradually flatten...
... but the scenery remains amazing !
Only natives can cross the Lençois Maranhenses by quad. For tourists, just a little ride, but what a great experience !

Guaranteed smiles and communicative joy !
