SÃO LUIS

Colonised by the French and Portuguese, the city has over 1000 colonial buildings that are considered by Unesco as Cultural Heritage of Humanity. The hot climate all year around, the beaches and cultural events such as the Bumba-Meu-Boi are also excelent attractions.

LENÇÓIS MARANHENSES

The landscape resembles a desert, with dunes up to 40 meters high and beautiful green and blue lagoons making up an incredible scenery. Rivers complete the 155 thousand hectares of this tropical oasis. The lagoons are the result of the rains in the area, and are the perfect place for a refreshing swim.
