White sand dunes of Lençóis National Park Maranhenses
Lençóis Maranhenses is a national garden located in the state of Maranhão, in north-eastern Brazil. The Lençóis Maranhenses National Park has an area of 1,550 km2 with discrete white sand dunes. During the rainy season, most of the gorges in this national park are flooded and visitors can see many blue and green lagoons.
According to local folk tales, this was the settlement of the Caeté, who had awoke one day and found their town buried in the sand.
The National garden has only the mission of protecting the ecosystem here; So many people have been living here. This is also a problem in the nearby Jericoacoara National Garden. These people mainly do fishing in the rainy season; In the dry season they leave, to the neighboring areas and to work on the small plot of land.
