At first glance Lencois Maranhenses looks like an archetypal desert.
In fact it isn’t actually a desert just like theTottori Sand Dunesarent.
Some of the lagoons at Lencois Maranhenses National Park are huge.
Lagoa Bonita and Lagoa Azul are near the town of Barreirinhas.
Lagoa Tropical, also worth a visit, is closer to the village of Atins.
