Best Time to Visit Lencois Maranhenses

Lencois Maranhenses can be visited all year round, but the experience changes a lot depending on the season.

May to September is the period we strongly recommend. The lagoons are normally full after the rainy season, offering the classic Lencois Maranhenses experience: endless white dunes with clear freshwater lagoons in between. Peak lagoon conditions are normally found between June and August.

From January to April, the rainy season gradually fills the lagoons. The landscape gets better as the season progresses, but rain can be expected and some lagoons may not yet be completely full.

From September/October to January, the weather is generally drier, but many of the lagoons gradually lose their water and some can dry out completely. The dunes are always there and the region can still be visited, but the experience can be quite different from the images normally associated with Lencois Maranhenses.

For the best combination of full lagoons, beautiful landscapes and good trekking conditions, we strongly recommend travelling between May and September, with June to August normally offering the best lagoon conditions.
