In this giant ‘desert’, we can find lakes formed by the accumulation of water in the first half of the year. Lençóis Maranhenses is a hidden paradise in northeastern Brazil, it is one of the main tourist destinations of Maranhão state. Created in 1981, the National Park Maranhenses – with total area of 156,500 hectares – is part of the Route of the Emotions. The dunes – common in this region of the country – are formed by the force of the winds that create a unique landscape and constantly change their appearance.
