Lensois Maranensis National Park

Lencios Maranencis is a national park of the state of Maranhão, which is located in the northeast of the country, one hundred kilometers from San Jose di Ribamar and near San Luis. The park was founded in June 1981 and is now one of the most popular attractions in the region.

The territory of Lencois Maranhenses is covered with large white sand dunes, whose height is forty meters. A large number of green and blue lagoons form between dunes during the rainy season. The peak filling of lagoons falls on the period from July to September.

Lencois Maranhenses Park has an area that covers 1,500 square kilometers, but even with frequent downpours, it has almost no vegetation.
