Maranhão

Maranhão, a state in northeastern Brazil, is partly covered by the Amazon rainforest and features beaches along the Atlantic Ocean. Near the city of Barreirinhas, large white sand dunes create desert-like landscapes in the Lençóis Maranhenses National Park, where freshwater lagoons that are suitable for swimming form during the rainy season. In the capital, São Luís, you’ll find the bustling historic district known as Reviver.
