Main attractions of the Route of Emotions Expedition

Jericoacoara: Located approximately 300 km from Fortaleza, Jericoacoara, or simply Jeri, is an ecological sanctuary. It was considered one of the 10 most beautiful beaches in the world by the Washington Post. In 1984 it became an Environmental Protection Area (APA), preserving its natural beauty practically untouched. Gigantic mobile dunes, coconut trees, lagoons with crystalline waters, mangroves, caves, cove and ocean beaches, mix aspects of the hinterland and the coastline in this old fishing village.

Tatajuba: Located in the municipality of Camocim, Tatajuba is a colony of fishermen, surrounded by dunes, clear water lagoons and its beautiful “arm” of the sea.

Lagoas Azul and Paraíso: The lagoons are like a huge pool of natural water and pleasant temperature for swimming and windsurfing.

Pedra Furada: Considered the postcard of Jericoacoara, it is a curious rock formation by the sea in the shape of an arch that was sculpted by the sea and the wind.

Barra Grande: Praia do Piauí still little visited by tourists. Ideal for those who want to relax, but also for those who enjoy sports such as kitsurfing and windsurfing. It has a beautiful walk to visit the seahorses.

East Coast of Piauí: It is the smallest in the Northeast. With 66 kilometers of extension, it allows access to the sea to four municipalities: Ilha Grande, Parnaíba, Luís Correia and Cajueiro da Praia. Its waters are shallow enough to have caused, in 1571, the shipwreck of the Portuguese ship belonging to Nicolau de Resende which, despite having lost its cargo, contributed to the registration of a region of inestimable ecological potential.

Delta do Parnaíba: Formed by 85 islands in an area of ​​2700 km² between the states of Piauí and Maranhão, the only delta in the Americas is a rare phenomenon that only finds a pair in the Nile River, in Africa and in the Mekong River in Asia. Within the same ecosystem we find different and picturesque landscapes: rivers, lagoons, gigantic dunes, deserted beaches with very white sand and the various types of mangroves in the region.

Rio Preguiças: It rises in the village of Barra da Campineira, in Anapurus and runs for more than 120 km until it flows into the Atlantic Ocean in front of the village of Atins. It is the main waterway in the municipality of Barreirinhas and one of the main tourist attractions in the area. Way of life and subsistence of the majority of the population, being an access route for many villages and riverside communities. Its name descends from the ancient sloths that lived along its banks.

Caburé: It is located near the mouth of the Preguiças River, on the narrow strip of sand that separates the river from the sea. The region where Caburé beach is located, called Pequenos Lençóis, is made up of the towns of Moitas, Morro do Boi, Espadarte, Alazão, Vassouras and Caburé.

Mandacaru: It is a fishing village located between Caburé beach and Atins beach. It is the oldest Riverside Village. It used to be a commercial and port center for transport by sea to São Luís. The families that live there today use fishing and agriculture as a means of sustenance.

Preguiças Lighthouse: The Preguiças Lighthouse, also known as Mandacaru Lighthouse, is located in the village of Mandacaru. Maritime lighthouse 54 meters high, 19 miles long and 160 steps, it was built in 1940 and inaugurated in 1944 by then Admiral Morais Rego. From its proximity, fantastic views of the National Park can be obtained.

Vassouras: It is located in Pequenos Lençóis, the first stop on the Paseo do Rio Preguiças before Caburé. Some families live there who depend on fishing and tourism for their livelihood.

Barreirinhas: It is the gateway city of the Lençóis Maranhenses, transformed into a National Park in 1981. It is located 260Km from the Capital São Luís and has attractions such as Boat Tours along the Preguiças River, 4×4 Tours to the Great Sheets and much more.

Lençóis Maranhenses National Park: It was created on June 2, 1981 in an area of ​​155 thousand hectares on the banks of the Preguiças River, in the northeast of the state of Maranhão and about 260 km from São Luís. It occupies a total area of ​​270 square kilometers, with dunes of up to 40 meters and freshwater lagoons. It is a unique coastal ecosystem within the caatinga biome, which combines strong winds and regular rainfall. It consists of a strip of dunes that extends between 05 and 25km towards the interior. These dunes form small freshwater lakes. It covers the municipalities of Barreirinhas, Humberto de Campos, Primeira Cruz, Santo Amaro do Maranhão and Paulino Neves.

São Luís: São Luís is the capital of the state of Maranhão, known as Brazilian Jamaica, Ilha do Amor, Brazilian Athens, among other tributes, it is the only Brazilian city founded by the French, having been later invaded by the Dutch. It was then colonized by the Portuguese. It is located on the island of Upaon-Açu, in the South Atlantic, between the bays of São Marcos and São José de Ribamar. The city was listed by the UN as a Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 1997. It has a colonial architectural heritage valued at around 3,500 buildings, spread over more than 220 hectares of the Historic Center, most of which are townhouses with belvederes, many covered with precious tiles portuguese. It really is a walk through our history!
