It's a hike and a half to get here, but Lençóis Maranhenses national park is well worth a visit. Take a seaplane ride for the best views. #Blue
Dunes are so high here that sometimes we need to crawl in order to reach the top of it. But the effort is worth it. Hundreds of white and absolutly clean dunes surrounded by lagoons/lakes formed by rainwater are what we call "Lençóis Maranhenses". To visit it you need local guides and a special transortations good enough to cross the vegetation that surrounds it.
Awesome place to see a beautiful contrast between sand, water e sky!
