Atins, a small village in Maranhão, is the perfect destination for those seeking untouched nature and tranquility. Located between the Preguiças River, the Atlantic Ocean, and the edge of Lençóis Maranhenses National Park, Atins enchants visitors with its golden dunes, crystal-clear lagoons, and deserted beaches. Accessible only by 4x4 vehicles or boats, the village maintains a remote and preserved atmosphere. It's one of the best spots to explore lagoons like Gavião and Murici, practice kitesurfing, and enjoy local cuisine, especially the famous shrimp at Luzia’s. Watching the sunset over the dunes is an unforgettable experience, as is visiting the nearby village of Canto do Atins. With a slow-paced lifestyle, rustic accommodations, and warm hospitality, Atins is ideal for anyone looking to disconnect and reconnect with nature in one of Brazil’s most stunning landscapes.

If you love adventure and authenticity, Dune Dreams is the way to go! Aftab guided us through the dunes like a true expert. The sandboarding and dune bashing were incredible experiences.” Ahmad Mushtaq

Amazing experience! Highly recommend this tour to anyone that wants to explore Lencois Maranhenses and the beautiful village of Atins. My favorite part of the tour was driving through the sand dunes to get to popular lagoons and even some lagoons that were less known! Visiting the village of Atins to eat and explore on our own was highlight as well. If you’re on the fence about booking this don’t be just do it you’ll have a great experience 👍🏻
