Fifteen days.
Five landscapes.
Nothing left out.

What it means to travel
this route properly

Most Route of Emotions itineraries fit three landscapes into seven or eight days. The transfers are long, the excursions back-to-back, and many travellers arrive home having covered a lot of ground without having genuinely absorbed any of it.

This itinerary starts from a different premise. Fifteen days gives each place the time it actually deserves — three full days in Jericoacoara instead of the usual two; two nights in Barra Grande, a wind and kite destination that most operators skip entirely; two nights in Santo Amaro for the western lagoon circuits most travellers never reach; and two nights in Atins, a village with no road access where the only way in is by speedboat downriver.

The stargazing excursion in the dunes of Lençóis Maranhenses — a private 4x4 to the top of a dune after dark, no artificial light for 40 kilometres in any direction — is consistently what our clients describe as the moment that stays with them longest.
