Have you ever dreamed of walking across pure white sand dunes that stretch as far as the eye can see, swimming in crystal-clear freshwater lagoons that appear like mirages in the desert, and experiencing landscapes so surreal they don’t seem real?

Your 6-Day Rota das Emoções Itinerary: A Day-by-Day Journey
Day 1: São Luís to Barreirinhas – Your Adventure Begins
Your journey starts the moment you land in São Luís. Our private, air-conditioned vehicle will be waiting to whisk you away on a comfortable 4-hour drive to Barreirinhas, the gateway to paradise. As the urban landscape melts away and gives way to rural Brazil, you’ll feel the excitement building. Tonight, rest up in Barreirinhas – tomorrow, the real magic begins.
Day 2: Lençóis Maranhenses National Park – The Lagoas Azul and Bonita
Wake up to your first full day in paradise. After breakfast, we venture into the heart of the Lençóis Maranhenses National Park for an all-day exploration. Picture this: endless white dunes rolling like frozen ocean waves, and nestled between them, the stunning Lagoa Azul (Blue Lagoon) and Lagoa Bonita (Beautiful Lagoon).
These aren’t ordinary lagoons – they’re freshwater pools with water so clear you can see your toes, so blue they rival the Caribbean, and warm enough for hours of swimming. The phenomenon occurs only during Brazil’s rainy season when rainwater collects in the valleys between dunes. It’s nature’s own infinity pool, and you’ll have the whole day to explore, swim, and capture memories that will last forever.
Pro tip from LDJ Travel: The afternoon light creates the most spectacular photo opportunities – bring your camera!
Day 3: Canto do Atins – Where Dunes Meet the Atlantic
Today’s adventure takes you to Canto do Atins, one of the most remote and pristine areas of the Lençóis Maranhenses. This rustic fishing village sits at the confluence of the Preguiças River and the Atlantic Ocean, offering a completely different perspective of the region.
Imagine walking across massive dunes with the sound of ocean waves on one side and the gentle flow of the river on the other. It’s raw, wild, and absolutely breathtaking. This is where you’ll truly understand why it’s called the Route of Emotions – the landscapes evoke feelings words can barely describe.
Day 4: Rio Preguiças Speedboat Adventure – The Pequenos Lençóis
Get ready for one of the most exhilarating days of your trip! Board a speedboat (locally called a “voadeira”) for a thrilling ride along the Rio Preguiças. This isn’t just transportation – it’s an adventure in itself, with wind in your hair and spectacular scenery flying by.
Your journey includes stops at three incredible locations:
- Vassouras: A charming riverside community where you’ll see traditional broom-making and mangrove ecosystems
- Mandacaru: Climb the iconic lighthouse for 360-degree views that will take your breath away
- Caburé: A sliver of land between the river and ocean – swim in fresh water on one side, saltwater on the other, and enjoy fresh seafood at local restaurants
This 6-hour adventure showcases the Pequenos Lençóis Maranhenses (Small Lençóis) and demonstrates why this region is one of Brazil’s most diverse ecosystems.
Day 5: Santo Amaro Lagoons – The Hidden Gems
Just when you think you’ve seen it all, we take you to the Santo Amaro lagoons – often considered even more spectacular than their famous counterparts. These lagoons are larger, deeper, and during peak season, even more vibrant.
What makes Santo Amaro special is its sense of discovery. While still accessible, it feels more remote, more pristine, and more exclusive. The dunes here are taller, the lagoons more numerous, and the experience more intimate. It’s the perfect crescendo to your Lençóis Maranhenses adventure.
Day 6: Return to São Luís – Taking Paradise Home With You
After breakfast, we’ll transport you back to São Luís in comfort and style. Use this time to reflect on the incredible journey you’ve just experienced, organize your thousands of photos, and start planning your return trip (yes, everyone wants to come back!).
