La Rotta delle Emozioni 2026, da Sao Luis a Fortaleza

Arrival at Sao Luis. Capital of the state of Maranhão, São Luís is a city rich in traditions and culture. Founded in 1612, it is home to beautiful palaces and stately houses, as well as historic city squares. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, much of its 18th- and 19th-century colonial architecture has been restored. Today, the city hosts cultural centers, museums, shops, and restaurants. Alongside its history, São Luís preserves its traditions. Folkloric events and the architecture of churches built during the time of slavery bear witness to the vitality and strength of its living cultural heritage. São Luís is also a modern city, with a newer area featuring buildings, shopping centers, and upscale restaurants. The best beaches are found in this part of the city, such as Calhau, Olho d’Água, and Araçagi. Welcome upon arrival and transfer to the hotel. The rest of the day available.

With its calm waters, along its banks we will see: watercourses, mangroves, buriti palms, Juçara (açaí) trees, tucunzeiros, as well as egrets and redshanks. We will make stops in the communities of VASSOURAS, also known as Pequenos Lençóis, a place where we can enjoy excellent coconut water and interact with the capuchin monkeys that live there, and MANDACARÚ, a small fishing village where we will climb 160 steps up to the Preguiças lighthouse to admire the heavenly view of the dunes, the river and its mouth, the ocean and the typical vegetation, finally arriving at CABURÉ, an arm of dunes set between the river and the sea. Continue to Atins. Atins is a small fishing village located in the heart of the Lençóis Maranhenses National Park in north-east Brazil. This corner of paradise, far from the hustle and bustle of big cities, is a peaceful retreat where the sea and white sand dunes meet in a fusion of unparalleled natural beauty. The crystal-clear waters of the lagoons surrounding the village are ideal for a refreshing dip, while the wild, unspoilt landscape invites discovery and relaxation. Atins is also famous for its authentic and relaxed atmosphere, with small pousadas and restaurants offering fresh fish dishes. The village is the starting point for exploring the wonders of the park, including the spectacular dunes and lagoons, and offers a unique experience of immersion in Brazil's wildest and most fascinating nature.

Breakfast. Transfer to the port. We will board a motorboat for a 15-minute crossing of the Preguiças river to Caburé, where we will board a 4x4 vehicle bound for Tutóia. Along the way, we will cross 15 km of deserted beaches, then a further 5 km of magnificent dunes and another 10 km of off-road tracks until we reach the small town of Paulino Neves, from where we will continue along 30 km of tarmac road to our destination. Arrival and boarding of a motorboat to cross the Delta. During the journey, we will pass through various labyrinths formed by the watercourses, we will pass in front of the island of São Bernardo where we will see a small church in the middle of nowhere, and at Morro do Meio we will plunge into the waters of the Parnaíba. Lunch (not included) will take place on one of the Delta's islands, as indicated by the guide/driver. Continue to Parnaiba. Parnaíba is the second-largest city in the state of Piauí and is part of one of the most beautiful coastal regions in the country. It is known as the gateway to the Parnaíba River Delta, the largest open-sea delta in the Americas and the third largest in the world. White sand dunes, carnauba palms, and coconut trees, clear warm seas, majestic rivers, lagoons, streams, and rich wildlife are just some of the attractions of this unforgettable destination. The Parnaíba Delta is part of an Environmental Protection Area (APA) and, with more than 70 islands, hosts an incredible variety of animal species, including monkeys, turtles, dolphins, crabs, and caimans, as well as threatened species such as manatees and the scarlet ibis, a distinctive red bird native to the region. Its flora is abundant with mangroves, freshwater streams, lagoons, and sand dunes, offering truly inspiring landscapes. Dinner free.

Breakfast. Departure by 4×4 vehicle from Parnaíba towards Jericoacoara. Along the way, we will pass through Camocim, where we will take a ferry to Ilha do Amor, from where we will begin our journey across kilometres of dunes and deserted beaches. We will make a photo stop at the Duna do Funil and at the Lagoa da Torta in Tatajuba, where we will choose lunch (not included) from the "live" menu (you will choose the fresh fish you wish to eat) and cool off in the lagoon lying in hammocks. We will continue along the beaches to Guriú, where we will take another ferry, then continue towards Mangue Seco and finally arrive in Jericoacoara. Jericoacoara is an ecological paradise located in a protected environmental area. This small fishing village in the state of Ceará has around 10,000 inhabitants and maintains a rustic atmosphere. Its sandy streets and lack of public lighting contrast with its lively nightlife and well-developed tourist infrastructure. The long coastline, with its beaches, dunes, clear freshwater lagoons, and warm natural pools, creates a perfect setting. For water sports enthusiasts, this is an ideal destination. Windsurfers and kitesurfers from all over the world find here the perfect combination of wind and waves of varying sizes, allowing for different styles of practice. Canoeing, fishing, capoeira, boat trips, horse riding, and cycling are also highly recommended activities in this natural paradise. The intensity of the sun constantly changes the color of the dunes, and the tidal movement is so extreme that one beach may be flooded all the way to the dunes while another becomes so dry that boats are left anchored in the desert. The contrast between the “Jeri desert” and the oasis of Lagoa Azul and Lagoa do Paraíso could not be greater. Their shores feature white sand and crystal-clear blue waters, making it feel like two vacations in one trip. It is important to note that there are no banks or ATMs in Jericoacoara. It is advisable to bring enough cash to pay for tours, restaurants, and additional services. Dinner free.
