How Does Brazil’s “Desert” Fill With Water Every Year?

It looks like an endless desert—but every rainy season, Lençóis Maranhenses transforms into a maze of turquoise freshwater lagoons. Located in Maranhão, northeastern Brazil, this extraordinary landscape is shaped by rainwater, powerful winds, and constantly moving dunes. Discover why thousands of lagoons appear, why many disappear during the dry season, and how some dunes can move up to 25 meters in a single year. In 2024, Lençóis Maranhenses National Park was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List. Would you rather cross the endless dunes or swim in a rainwater lagoon?
