Day 2 | São Luís do Maranhão – Barreirinhas – Preguiças River – Atins
After breakfast, we will depart for Barreirinhas, in the Lençóis Maranhenses, on a journey of approximately 4 hours (which may take longer depending on the travel season). Upon arrival in Barreirinhas, we will board private speedboats known as voadeiras and travel along the Preguiças River to Atins Beach.
Along the way, palm trees and mangroves are home to birds, reptiles and mammals. Our first stop will be at Vassouras, one of the many points where the dunes of the Pequenos Lençóis meet the Preguiças River. Capuchin monkeys and parrots delight visitors who stop to cool off with cold drinks served in the shade of the local stalls.
We will continue by speedboat to the Mandacaru Lighthouse, located in the village of the same name. From the top of its eight floors, it offers a 360-degree view of the area's exuberant landscape. We will then continue to the village of Atins. Check-in at the guesthouse.

Parnaíba Delta: We recommend always bringing a change of clothes and a beach cover-up or towel for the tour, as the return will take place at night.
Parnaíba Delta: Due to the tides, the logistics of the transfer and the Delta tour may be subject to change. If it is not possible to depart in the morning, departure will take place around lunchtime and the crossing of the Delta will be carried out during the Scarlet Ibis flight. Thus, the same tour may be operated in two different ways, depending on the tide.
The tide chart will determine the schedules and duration of each tour.
Camurupim River Route: This tour depends entirely on the tide, which determines the starting point of the kayaking route. Therefore, the route may begin at Pontal da Barra and end at Porto das Camboas, or be operated in the opposite direction. Depending on the time and the client's physical condition, a beach walk of approximately 25 minutes may be included.
