Maranhão

Brazil

travel couple trek across giant sand dunes with lagoons in Lencois Maranhenses, one of the most stunning tourist attractions in North-East Brazil

The most unearthly place I’ve been so far. Only in Brazil 🇧🇷

In the northern Brazilian state of Maranhao it is located Atins. The natural access to the Lencois of Maranhao it is also well-known for its winds which are making this small village a popular destination for kite surfers #LifeAtExpedia

Igreja Matriz de Nossa Senhora de Nazaré. Nazaré. Bahia, Brazil, late 18th century. Of special note are its bell towers with mosaic design, a detail I didn't learn about until I returned home.

It's a hike and a half to get here, but Lençóis Maranhenses national park is well worth a visit. Take a seaplane ride for the best views. #Blue
