Atins Kitesurf Holiday
Atins is located at the mouth of the River Preguica, sandwiched between a massive Delta region to the South, and a huge National Park of Sand Dunes to the North (Lençóis Maranhenses). The river's winding path forms shifting sandbanks and shallow lagoons. and with it, some of the most dramatic flat water kitesurf conditions to be found anywhere on the Planet. The region is famous for its super consistent strong wind (but perhaps not super strong as in some parts of Northern Brazil), making it an ideal spot for kiteboarding. But Atins has something extra special to offer! The enchanting Lençóis Maranhenses, a one-of-a-kind landscape blending white sand dunes with abundant underground water sources creating kitesurf lagoons right in the heart of the sand dunes (best from June to October).
The range of accommodation in Atin has historically been quite rustic and simple, but as of 2023, Planet Kitesurf can now offer an additional super luxury small hotel option.
To get the most from your Brazil experience we suggest adding additional kitesurf region, in combination with a day's travel through the Delta. Please speak to one of our Brazil experts about putting together the perfect Brazil kitesurf holiday itinerary.

Pantanal + Amazon + Beach
If you want to experience the very best of Brazil’s wildlife and natural landscapes, combining the Pantanal with the Amazon is an ideal choice. The Pantanal is the country’s top location for spotting jaguars, while the Amazon offers an extraordinary immersion into the world’s largest tropical rainforest. Spending around three nights in each region gives you enough time to enjoy their highlights, with the necessary overnight stops in Manaus on either side of your Amazon tour. After exploring the inland wilderness, we can take you to one of several windy coastal areas in northern Brazil. For this itinerary, we recommend Icaraizinho, a charming seaside village that offers excellent Wingfoiling, Kitesurfing and Windsurfing all in one easy, relaxed location.

Wild North Kite Adventure
This unusual and unique tour takes you to Brazil's wild and beautiful North. As you move North along the coast of Ceara state, where the better-known kitesurf resorts are (such as Prea and Jericoacoara), and into Piaui and Maranhao States, the infrastructure becomes more scarce, and the coastline becomes wild. Travelling in this area typically involved 4x4 driving along wild deserted beaches, traversing estuaries and taking small, locally run make-shift ferry crossings. Travelling becomes more of an experience and less of something to endure. The kitesurfing in this area is uncrowded and breathtaking! It is some of the most dramatic and extraordinary kiting on the Planet.
