Lençóis Maranhenses National Park, Brazil
Let's explore the breathtaking beauty of the Lençóis Maranhenses National Park! Located in the north-eastern region of the state of Maranhão, Brazil, this park is a conservation unit that covers an impressive area of more than 150,000 hectares. Created with the aim of protecting the region's flora, fauna and natural beauty, the park is a true ecological treasure, part of the coastal marine and cerrado biomes. Here we find unique ecosystems such as mangroves, sandbanks and dunes, moulded by strong winds and regular rainfall.
In addition to its environmental importance, the Lençóis Maranhenses Park is known for its scenic beauty, having been chosen as the setting for the films 'Avengers: Infinity War' and 'Avengers: Endgame.' Visitors can enjoy ecotourism trips through the dune fields, bathe in the crystal-clear lagoons and observe the star-filled night sky. The park attracts tourists from all over the world all year round, and in July 2024, it was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, recognised for its exceptional beauty and for being a unique natural phenomenon in the world.
