Natural curves of sand dunes and lagoons at dusk.

Like a mirage, one of Brazil’s most magnificent landscapes, Lençóis Maranhenses looks like gigantic white bedsheets. Located in the sun-drenched and laidback region of Northeast Brazil, this is a desert of dunes composed of fine, white sands that stand as high as 40 meters (130 feet), extending across 80 kilometers (50 miles) of coastline and stretching about 25 kilometers (15 miles) inland – all of them interspersed with green and blue lagoons.
