Atins & Lencois Maranhenses

As a base from which to visit the epic sand dunes of Lençóis Maranhenses, Atins’ sandy streets and languid charm takes some beating, its beautiful beaches and dune vegetation making it a picturesque destination in its own right. Of course, the true magic happens in the national park, where 40-meter dunes stretch for tens of miles, their white sands dotted with mirage-like turquoise lagoons.
