How does the itinerary work?

01

PICKUP

Departure between 1:30 pm and 2:00 pm

Pickup at the guesthouse — Amo Lençóis guide welcoming guests before leaving for Lagoa Bonita

We pick you up at your accommodation and, once the whole group is on board, head straight for the Lagoa Bonita route. We go through the park checkpoint to have the voucher approved and stop a little further on so you can buy snacks and non-alcoholic drinks.

02

THE DRIVE

40 to 50 minutes off-road, plus the dune staircase

We follow a 4x4 trail through the vegetation for about 40 to 50 minutes to the main destination. When you arrive, you'll find the famous dune staircase, with a panoramic view of the dunes and the park's vegetation.

03

LAGOA BONITA

Free time for swimming and photos

We walk a little further and reach Lagoa Bonita, one of the most famous lagoons in the park. You have free time to swim, take photos and enjoy the scenery at your own pace.

04

SUNSET

The most anticipated moment
