Images from our trip to the Lençóis Maranhenses

Introduction

4x4 Pick-up Tour - the system is tough!Considered one of the most beautiful destinations in the country, the Lençóis Maranhenses combine kilometres and kilometres of white dunes dotted with freshwater lagoons, sometimes blue, sometimes green. The gateway to paradise, protected by the status of National Park, is the municipality of Barreirinhas. From there, the exploration of the scenery begins, which becomes even more exuberant between June and August, when the lagoons are fuller.

NOTES: (1) ALL LAND TOURS IN THE LENÇÓIS MARANHENSES ARE CARRIED OUT IN 4X4 TOYOTA BANDEIRANTES PICK-UPS ADAPTED FOR TOURISM.

Day 2: 23 June (Tuesday) - São Luís/ Historical City Tour

São Luís do MaranhãoAfter breakfast, departure by tourist bus for our city tour in São Luís. São Luís was founded by the French in 1612, but it was the Portuguese who gave the capital of Maranhão its trademark - its beautiful architectural style.

It was the Lusitanians who left as a legacy the more than three thousand mansions and houses that spread across the streets and squares of the Historic Centre, in the Praia Grande neighbourhood.

Tombed by Unesco, much of the colonial architecture dating from the 18th and 19th centuries takes you on a journey to a past of prosperity and ostentation. Lunch included. Evening free.

Day 3: 24 June (Wednesday) - São Luís/ Barreirinhas MA (The Capital of the Lençóis Maranhenses)

Porto Preguiças ResortAfter breakfast, we will continue by comfortable tourist bus to the city of Barreirinhas, known as the "Capital of the Lençóis". Being the largest municipality in the region, Barreirinhas is the main gateway to the Lençóis Maranhenses National Park.

In the evening, tourists and locals head to Avenida Beira-Rio, with restaurants, bars, and craft stalls. Expected arrival in Barreirinhas around 14h00. Accommodation at the excellent Porto Preguiças Resort. Afternoon and evening free.

Day 4: 25 June (Thursday) - Lençóis Maranhenses - Lagoa Azul Circuit

The pick-ups take passengers to a certain point in the park, as motorized vehicles are not allowed on the dunes. From there, it is necessary to walk the route. The journey between one dune and another takes about 10 minutes of walking.

Don't forget sunscreen, hats, water, and to take only a few things with you. The tour ends with a spectacular sunset on the dunes. Lunch included. Evening free.

Day 5: 26 June (Friday) - Lençóis Maranhenses - Atins

Lagoa em AtinsAfter breakfast, we will depart for our tour to the village of Atins. Bathed by both the Atlantic Ocean and the Preguiças River, Atins is a fishing village that is the eastern entrance to the Lençóis Maranhenses National Park. Here, the rusticity mixed with the beautiful landscape seems to give another rhythm to the days. In Atins, the streets are all made of soft sand, a place practically without mobile phone and internet signal.

Atins is an ideal place to relax and disconnect from routine. With the discovery of Atins as a haven for sports such as kitesurfing, windsurfing, kayaking, and stand-up paddle, the village has also attracted many foreigners who have invested in building charming inns. Return to the hotel in the late afternoon. Evening free.

Day 6: 27 June (Saturday) - Lençóis Maranhenses - Vassouras, Mandacaru and Caburé

Boat Tour on the Preguiças River - VassourasAfter breakfast, we will depart for our tour on the Preguiças River. We will board a speedboat, known in the region as a voadeira boat. Thus, we begin a beautiful nautical tour along the Preguiças River, enjoying its beautiful palm trees, mangroves, and igarapés.

Within 30 to 40 minutes, we will arrive in Vassouras, where we will see the small Lençóis. In this location, one can admire small dunes, lagoons (during the high season), and an exuberant flora and fauna. On the banks of the river, we have a support point in rustic huts covered with straw, where we can enjoy a delicious cold coconut water to refresh ourselves.

Another attraction of the place is the friendly monkeys that seize every opportunity to steal a banana or biscuit from unsuspecting tourists. Monkeys in VassourasNext, we head to the village of Mandacaru. The main attraction of this fishing village is the Preguiças Lighthouse, which is 35 meters tall and has 160 steps, from where we can have a panoramic and magnificent 360° view of the region. A great place to buy handicrafts, especially bio-jewels and hair tiaras.

Then we proceed to Caburé Beach, a peninsula between the river and the sea, where we will have lunch (not included). At the location, a quad bike tour (optional) is offered that runs along the beach until reaching the meeting point of the Preguiças River with the sea. This tour lasts a total of 30 minutes. We can enjoy the place for walks, enjoy swimming in the sea or river, and even relax in the hammocks that local restaurants offer. Return to the hotel at the end of the day. Evening free.

Important Notes

The information below covers part of what is set out in our General Conditions. It is essential to read the entire document.

Withdrawals, Transfers and Cancellations by the client

The CONTRACTED PARTY shall refund the amount due to the Client, calculated on the total amount actually received by the Contractor, excluding the amount of commission withheld, which must be dealt with by the Travel Agent, as well as administrative fees and amounts already paid to suppliers.

in the event of any of the above occurring, the following administrative fees will be deducted from the total amount charged for the tour package, in the following proportion:

  • When the cancellation occurs 30 (thirty) days or more before the date of departure of the trip: 10% (ten per cent)
  • When the cancellation occurs between 29 (twenty-nine) and 21 (twenty-one) days before the date of departure: 15% (fifteen per cent)
  • When the cancellation occurs between 20 (twenty) and 01 (one) days before the date of departure: 30% (thirty per cent)
  • If the passenger does not show up at the time and place scheduled for the start of the trip, 35% (thirty-five per cent) will be charged.

In addition to the fees and fines described above, the amounts already paid to suppliers to guarantee bookings, duly proven, will be deducted as expenses, since the Contractor is only an intermediary in the contracting of tourist services, and is in temporary possession of the amounts received, because it depends on third parties for the effective execution of these services, such as air, sea and road transport, as well as accommodation, reception, restaurants and other contracted services.

For both road and air excursions, date transfers or refunds for unused sections will not be permitted.

Trip abandonment - Once the excursion has begun, passengers who abandon it for any reason will not be entitled to any refund for services paid for and not used.
