Seasonal features

Located just 2 degrees south of the Equator, the Lençóis Maranhenses region has a hot and semi-humid climate throughout the year, with temperatures ranging from 22°C to 37°C.
The rainy season, from January to May, is ideal for those who prefer milder sun, although occasional showers may occur.
From June to December, the dry season prevails, bringing sunny days and ideal conditions for excursions.
Between October and February, due to the complete lack of rainfall, the lagoons gradually dry up and may become completely empty in years when the rainy season has been unusually short.

From there, we begin a hike across the breathtaking white sand dunes toward the stunning Laguna Bonita. In this natural paradise, you’ll have the chance to swim in refreshing, crystal-clear lagoons nestled among the vast dunes. These lagoons are formed by rainfall between February and June, creating vibrant green and blue pools, some reaching depths of up to 4 meters.
