Lençóis Maranhenses full lagoons
Thousands of rain-fed turquoise lagoons appear between white dunes, then vanish again by October.

What happens when you set this watch
We track every fare from your airport into Sao Luiz for May 15 to September 10, 2027, round trips of 3 to 7 nights, across every airline. The moment one drops, you get one email with the dates, the price and a link to book. Free, and you can stop any time.
Know before you go
- Wind and sun are relentless; bring a hat you can tie on.
- The lagoons dry through September; by October most are gone.
- From São Luís it is about four hours by road to Barreirinhas; 4x4 trucks then take you into the dunes.
