What you'll see
We will pick you up at the place where you will be staying. The tour starts around 9:30am. We will go to the Lençóis Maranhenses national park in search of exclusive lagoons (whenever possible).
We will have lunch at a pre-defined time in a restaurant in the town of Lavado so that, in addition to tasting the local cuisine, you can learn a little more about the way people in the region live.
Discover the legends. You can also rest in the hammocks and then with the sun less hot we return to Lençóis Maranhenses for more lagoons until sunset when we look for a high dune to appreciate this wonder.
