This is a very special package for those who like adventure, have only a few days available and do not mind sleeping on rustic inns. It is perfect to be more confident with the real Northeast of Brazil which is full of contrasts.
The Pole of the Parque dos Lençóis, on the oriental part of the State encompasses the municipal areas of Humberto de Campos, Primeira Cruz, Santo Amaro and Barreirinhas. Its major attraction is the National Park of Lençóis Maranhenses, an amazing natural phenomenon to which Barreirinhas is the gateway.
The National Park of Lençóis is an ecological paradise with 155,000 hectares of dunes, rivers, lakes and wetlands. A singular ecological phenomenon, it has been formed during thousands of years of wind movement. The landscape is astonishing and wonderful: a white sandy carpet without end in sight, as if you were on a desert. Unlike a desert however, there is plenty of rain and rivers in the region. It is the rain that actually creates the Lençóis and its landscape. The rain fills the uncountable lakes and the magnificent landscape. Some of the most famous lakes are the Lagoa Azul and the Lagoa Bonita for their beauty and excellent swimming conditions. Not to miss in your trip are the villages of Caburé, Atins and Mandacaru.
The Delta do Parnaiba is located at the northern part of the State, at the border with the State of Piaui and next to the villages of Tutóia, Paulino Neves and Araioses from where tours are organized.
Jericoacoara is one of the latest remote-and-primitive 'in' beach and has become popular among backpackers and hipper Brazilians. Jeri, how it is gently called, is a rough little fishing village where dozens of palms drowning in sand dunes face jangadas stuck on a broad grey beach.
