What It's Like to Visit Brazil's Lençóis Maranhenses National Park — Home to Bone-white Sand Dunes and Sky-blue Lagoons

"A once-remote resort that has become a cautionary tale for overdevelopment: as one guide, Francisco Carvalho, observed, “no one fishes anymore, food prices are out of reach for local families,” and the town’s most popular landmark, the Sunset Dune, has been diminished—from a soaring 200 feet in the 1970s to just 20 feet—under the footfall of visitors. The town’s experience is cited repeatedly by locals as a warning about tourism that is not attentive to community livelihoods." - Michael Snyder Michael Snyder Michael Snyder is a Mexico City-based journalist specializing in food, architecture, and travel.

Nice protected national park with beautiful dunes and sunsets. Very sandy, like sand everywhere. Also nice to jog as many people did. Dog friendly.

I am glad I went but I would not return. Getting there is a hassle. We hired a car from Fortaleza, then had to get a 4x4 into the park. You can fly to the nearby airport so that may be a better option. The dunes are beautiful but much reduced in size over recent years. The town is not unpleasant but a total tourist place. I prefer quieter places with less people. The beaches are not nearly as nice as the ones near me in Sao Paulo - hard sand and no shade anywhere. There was a lot of washed up rotting seaweed which was smelly and the water had zero visibility, maybe just the wrong time of the year. Lots of cars, buggies and motor bikes constantly racing around everywhere. It's a literal tourist trap as it is impossible to escape unless you take a 40 minutes bouncy ride back to Jeri, which is in effect leaving. It's really hard to self-cater because the local shops are very limited in what they have and are expensive. This must have once been a hauntingly beautiful place, but not anymore and would not make it into a top 50 list of places to visit in Brazil.

Nice beach place but the beach isn't anything spectacular in my eyes. Low tide takes the water out a long way, high tide leaves a small beach & shallow water. Loads of kite surfers & a few surfers (small waves from what I've seen). The night time comes alive with restaurants & drink vendors, this makes Jeri more attractive...but everything closes at 1am :)

Absolutely beautiful. Try to walk a little instead of doing the standard buggy/4×4 thing (take some water with you, walking shoes, sun screen and flip flops). You will see amazing landscapes and have time to observe the beautiful birds, butterflies, crabs and plants.

Amazing spot to visit ! Desert dunes in front of the sea , lagoons , small oasis , mangrooves , and the small beautiful town of Jericoacoara! If you are in the north of Brazil pasing by Ceará you must visit it !

It's nice but too overcrowded with tourists, high prices, tourist tax is annoying and guides offering you everything everywhere is really bothering. More places along the coast are worth it too. My favorite Lagoinha, small town, people friendly, cheap and good food.

White dunes, the ocean and the wind... The place is wild and really amazing. You need a 4 wheel to drive in there .Jeri beach for the sunset is a higlight moment. A place you can' forget !
