Trekking Lençois Maranhenses

Travessia Lençois 2025 is an easy six-day crossing of Lençóis Maranhenses for a group of six, beginning and ending in São Luís do Maranhão. After an evening briefing, a private vehicle takes us to Barreirinhas, followed by a private boat down the Rio Preguiças with a stop at Vassouras / Pequenos Lençóis. We continue to Canto de Atins for an afternoon 4x4 outing among the dunes and lagoons. The crossing then continues on foot: roughly 9–10 km from Duna da Bandeira to Baixa Grande, another 9–10 km to Queimada dos Britos / Paulos, and approximately 17 km to Betânia. Overnight stays are in simple hammock accommodations, with meals and support from local guides and families. The final day includes a 4x4 transfer to Santo Amaro for a last lagoon visit, lunch, and the return journey to São Luís, where the source places the end of the program at about 19:00.
