Images from our trip to Lençóis Maranhenses
Introduction
Considered one of the most beautiful destinations in the country, Lençóis Maranhenses combines kilometers and kilometers 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 LENÇÓIS MARANHENSES ARE CARRIED OUT IN 4X4 TOYOTA BANDEIRANTES PICK-UPS ADAPTED FOR TOURISM.

Detailed Itinerary
Day 1: June 8 (Monday) - Rio de Janeiro/ São Luís
Transfer from your residence (SEE RULES) to Galeão airport, at the time agreed upon by the Rosanetur team, heading to São Luís International Airport (Marechal Hugo da Cunha Machado). Flight GOL 2014/1870 (GIG X SSA X SLZ 08:10/16:55). From there, we will continue in a comfortable tourist bus to the hotel in São Luís. Free afternoon and evening.
Day 2: June 9 (Tuesday) - São Luís/ Historical City Tour
After 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 Center, in the Praia Grande neighborhood.
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. Free evening.
Day 3: June 10 (Wednesday) - São Luís/ Barreirinhas MA (The Capital of Lençóis Maranhenses)
After breakfast, we will continue in a comfortable tourist bus to the city of Barreirinhas, known as the "Capital of Lençóis." As 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 2:00 PM. Accommodation at the excellent Porto Preguiças Resort. Free afternoon and evening.
Day 4: June 11 (Thursday) - Lençóis Maranhenses - Lagoa Azul Circuit
Breakfast. Free morning. After lunch, we will take our tour of the Lagoa Azul Circuit, which is part of the Great Lençóis Maranhenses.
In this circuit, we will visit some of the most beautiful lagoons in Lençóis Maranhenses, such as the beautiful Lagoa Azul.
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 remaining distance. The journey between one dune and another takes about 10 minutes of walking.
Don't forget sunscreen, hats, water, and to bring only a few things with you. The tour ends with a spectacular sunset on the dunes. Lunch included. Free evening.
Day 5: June 12 (Friday) - Lençóis Maranhenses - Atins
After 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 cell 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. Free evening.
Day 6: June 13 (Saturday) - Lençóis Maranhenses - Vassouras, Mandacaru, and Caburé
After breakfast, we will depart for our tour on the Preguiças River. We will board a speedboat, known in the region as a "voadeira." Thus, we begin a beautiful nautical tour along the Preguiças River, enjoying its beautiful palm trees, mangroves, and igarapés.
In 30 to 40 minutes, we will arrive in Vassouras, where we will see the small Lençóis. In this location, one can marvel at small dunes, lagoons (during the rainy 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 do not miss an opportunity to steal a banana or cookie from the unsuspecting tourist.
Next, we head to the village of Mandacaru. The main attraction of this fishing village is the Farol das Preguiças, which is 35 meters high 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-jewelry 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, an optional quad bike tour 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 walking, swimming in the sea or river, and even resting in the hammocks that local restaurants offer. Return to the hotel at the end of the day. Free evening.
Day 7: June 14 (Sunday) - Barreirinhas/ São Luís
Breakfast. Free morning to enjoy the hotel facilities, take a swim in the pool... After lunch, we will travel back to São Luís. Expected arrival around 6:30 PM. Lunch included. Free evening.

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 withdrawal occurs 30 (thirty) days or more before the date of departure of the trip: 10% (ten percent)
- When the withdrawal occurs between 29 (twenty-nine) and 21 (twenty-one) days before the date of departure: 15% (fifteen percent)
- When the withdrawal occurs between 20 (twenty) and 01 (one) days before the date of departure: 30% (thirty percent)
- If the passenger does not show up at the time and place scheduled for the start of the trip, 35% (thirty-five percent) will be charged.
In addition to the fees and fines described above, the amounts already paid to suppliers to guarantee reservations, duly proven, will be deducted as expenses, since the Contractor is only an intermediary in the contracting of tourist services, being 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 transportation, as well as accommodation, reception, restaurants and other contracted services.
For both road and air tours, it is not permitted to transfer dates or refund unused sections.
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.
