One of the largest — if not the largest — lagoons in Lençóis Maranhenses National Park. It is formed by several lagoons joined together, hence its name (“emendadas” means “joined”). It lies in a more central part of the park and can only be reached by 4x4, which leaves the more adventurous about a 40-minute walk from the lagoon.

It is a vast expanse of water in one of the most beautiful settings of the Lençóis. It also has very deep areas: swimming is excellent, but always take care in the deep parts.

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.
