Lençóis Maranhenses

While many people rush through, we stay. Four overnights during the trekking, sleeping in local family homes.

The Expedition lasts 6 days and 5 nights

The Expedition lasts 6 days and 5 nights

Meeting point: São Luís (MA)

Recommended airport: Aeroporto Marechal Cunha Machado (SLZ)

Difficulty level: Moderate

There are 4 overnights during the trek, with full immersion from the very first day in Canto de Atins. You sleep in local family homes in Baixa Grande, Queimada dos Britos, and also in Patacas, a community rarely included on conventional itineraries.

This means more lagoon time, more sunset swims, and more time chatting with the locals.

It is the kind of trip that changes the way you look at the sand, the water, and simplicity.

You do not just pass through Lençóis here. You live Lençóis.

What our days will look like

The beginning of the immersion

We set off from São Luís toward Canto de Atins. Along the way, the boat trip down the Rio Preguiças is an experience in itself, with stops at villages like Vassouras, Mandacaru, and Caburé.

In Canto de Atins, our true immersion begins with simple, welcoming family lodging full of stories to share.

The best experience in Alter do Chão!

Without a doubt, it was the best experience I have ever had! The expedition was simply incredible from beginning to end. Impeccable organisation and an extremely attentive team who know the region deeply and respect the local nature. Every detail was thought through with great care: breathtaking landscapes, wonderful freshwater beaches, trails, cultural immersion and that feeling of living something unique. Beyond all the beauty, I felt safe the whole time and very well welcomed. You can tell when work is done with love and responsibility. I recommend it without hesitation to anyone who wants to experience the real Alter do Chão, far beyond basic tourism. An unforgettable experience!

The most incredible carnival experience in the world

It was my first solo trip and I could write a whole book about how wonderful this experience was. Ana Carms has an approach to travel that is very different from the conventional one, a proposal of real immersion in the local culture and way of life, always respectfully. In 2026, being without internet for 5 days may sound bizarre and frightening, but in the end you come back grateful and wanting to stay longer. There is a clear reason for that disconnection, and the result for me were the great friends I made on this trip, which certainly would not have happened if we had our phones. The care the women of the agency put into every detail is admirable, and you feel all that affection in the details of everything you live there. Trust them and just go! A special thank you to Seu Sabá's family, who make everything even more magical with their care, from the delicious food to Bob the dog, who welcomes you with licks when you arrive on the little boat. Thank you for everything, ANA CARMS team, I already want to collect every expedition you offer.
