Day 4 (B,L,D)
We’ll set out early in the morning for a full day immersed in the heart of Lençóis Maranhenses. The sweeping dunes and turquoise lagoons create endless subjects as their colors and textures change with the shifting light.

As evening falls, we’ll travel to a small, remote village within the park—another ideal spot for astrophotography.

Day 6 (B,L,D)
We’ll begin the day with another sunrise shoot in the heart of the park, where the soft morning light transforms the dunes and lagoons into a dreamlike scene.

This striking location is known for its surreal patterns, bold colors, and intricate natural textures—perfect for creating abstract, artistic images. After lunch back in the village, we’ll head out once more into the dunes for a sunset session, watching the landscape glow under golden light. As darkness settles in, the clear, unpolluted skies provide another chance to explore astrophotography. We’ll spend the night again at our comfortable hotel in Santo Amaro.
