About the tour

Why do the Bonita trek with camping?

A trekking experience through the Lençóis Maranhenses for those who want to walk among dunes and lagoons and spend a night camping in the middle of the National Park landscape.

30 km of hiking | 1 night of camping

For those who want to experience the Lençóis Maranhenses in a more immersive way, this trip combines two days of trekking with one night of camping among the dunes.

The route passes through the Oásis Baixa Grande, with time to enjoy the lagoons, and continues to the Lagoa Bonita area.

Instead of returning at the end of the first day, the group camps during the crossing. The camping setup is handled by the team, while a support guide accompanies the group to carry the gear needed for the campsite.

It's an experience for those who love to hike, connect with nature, and enjoy a different kind of night in the Lençóis.
