When is the best time to visit Lençóis Maranhenses?

Understand rainfall, lagoon levels, wind and seasonality before choosing your Lençóis Maranhenses travel dates.

Lagoon levels generally rise after the rainy season and often look fullest between June and September, although conditions vary every year.

Outside this period there are fewer visitors, while the Preguiças River, Atins, scarlet ibis sunsets and private transfers remain attractive. The best dates depend on your priorities.

Frequently asked questions

Are the lagoons full all year?

No. Water levels depend on each rainy season and some lagoons dry earlier than others.

Are July and August busy?

Yes. Booking accommodation, transfers and key experiences early is recommended.
