DOWNWIND AT LENCOIS MARANHENSES
The amazing Lençois Maranhenses is composed of large, white, sweeping dunes, at first glance Lençóis Maranhenses looks like an archetypal desert. The region is subject to a regular rain season during the beginning of the year. The rains cause a peculiar phenomenon: fresh water collects in the valleys between sand dunes and is prevented from percolating down by a layer of impermeable rock which lies underneath the sand. The National Park is quite extensive and has no direct access roads. Because of the nature of the park's protected status, most vehicles are not permitted access. Entrance to the park is made exclusively by 4-wheel drive trucks by native guides.
