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: 8th June (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 the international airport of São Luís (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. Afternoon and evening free.
Day 2: 9th June (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 Centre, 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. Evening free.
Day 3: 10th June (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". 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 14:00. Accommodation at the excellent Porto Preguiças Resort. Afternoon and evening free.
Day 4: 11th June (Thursday) - Lençóis Maranhenses - Lagoa Azul Circuit
Breakfast. Morning free. After lunch, we will take our tour of the Lagoa Azul Circuit, which is part of the Grand Lençóis Maranhenses.
In this circuit, we will visit some of the most beautiful lagoons in Lençóis Maranhenses, such as the stunning 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 route. The journey between one dune and another takes about 10 minutes of walking.
Don't forget sunscreen, hats, water, and to take very little with you. The tour ends with a spectacular sunset on the dunes. Lunch included. Evening free.
Day 5: 12th June (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. Evening free.
Day 6: 13th June (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 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 place, one can marvel at small dunes, lagoons (during the full 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.
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 Preguiças Lighthouse, which is 35 meters high and has 160 steps, from where we can have a panoramic and magnificent view of 360° of the region. A great place to buy crafts, 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, 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 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.
Day 7: 14th June (Sunday) - Barreirinhas/ São Luís
Breakfast. Morning free to enjoy the hotel facilities, take a swim in the pool... After lunch, we will travel back to São Luís. Expected arrival around 18:30. Lunch included. Evening free.

Important Notes
The information gathered below covers part of what is stated in our General Conditions. It is essential to read the entire document.
Cancellations, Transfers and Customer Cancellations
The CONTRACTED PARTY will refund the amount due to the Contractor, calculated on the total actually received by the Contracted Party, excluding the amount of the commission retained, which should be dealt with the Travel Agent, as well as administrative fees and amounts already paid to suppliers.
In the event of any of the mentioned hypotheses, the following administrative fees will be deducted from the total amount charged for the tourist package, in the following proportion:
- When the cancellation occurs 30 (thirty) days or more before the travel departure date: 10% (ten percent)
- When the cancellation occurs 29 (twenty-nine) to 21 (twenty-one) days before the travel departure date: 15% (fifteen percent)
- When the cancellation occurs 20 (twenty) to 01 (one) day before the travel departure date: 30% (thirty percent)
- If the passenger does not show up at the time and place set for the start of the trip, 35% (thirty-five percent) will be charged
In addition to the fees and penalties described above, amounts already paid to suppliers for securing reservations, duly proven, will be deducted as expenses, as the Contracted Party is only an intermediary in the hiring of tourist services, being in temporary possession of the amounts received, as 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 segments will not be allowed.
Trip abandonment - Once the excursion has started, the passenger who abandons it for any reason will not be entitled to any refund for the services paid and not used.
