About the tour

Why do the Bonita trek with camping?

A trekking experience through the Lençóis Maranhenses for those who want to walk between dunes and lagoons and spend a night camping amid the scenery of the National Park.

30 km trek | 1 night camping

For those who want to experience the Lençóis Maranhenses in a more immersive way, this experience combines two days of trekking with a night of camping among the dunes.

The route passes through Oásis Baixa Grande, with time to enjoy the lagoons, and continues to the Lagoa Bonita region.

Instead of returning at the end of the first day, the group camps during the crossing. The camping setup is handled by the team, while a support guide accompanies the group to carry the equipment needed for the camp.

It's an experience for those who love walking, being in contact with nature, and living a different kind of night in the Lençóis.
