Best timehas water all year — great from October to December

Depthshallow area and deeper areas

It is also one of the largest lagoons in the Lençóis Maranhenses, with a great volume of water and stunning natural beauty. It is one of the lagoons that keep water all year round and is therefore much visited in October, November and December, the driest period in the Lençóis.

The trip is one of the longest, about an hour and a half by 4x4. The water ranges from green to blue. Swimming is excellent, with a shallower area and other deeper ones.

Photos

Always enter the park with an accredited guide. Never jump from the dunes into the water, especially head first, and ask the guide which areas are safest for swimming — above all with children. Read our Lençóis Safety guide.
