In the rainy season, the desert landscape in Lençóis Maranhenses National Park becomes strange, with hundreds of beautiful lakes in the middle of pure white dunes.
The rainy season in Brazil lasts from January to June, with violent thunderstorms. However, this brought about a fascinating natural phenomenon in the desert of Lençóis Maranhenses national park.
The park is located in the state of Maranhão just outside the Amazon basin.When the heavy rain subsides, visitors will admire thousands of beautiful lakes among majestic sand dunes.
The white sand dunes of Lençóis Maranhenses spread over 1,000 km 2 .This place receives about 1,193mm of rain every year, so it is not considered an orthodox desert.However, tourists and locals still call this desert.
Many lakes are up to 3m deep and 300m long, with blue waters and clear water.The temperature here is often up to 30 degrees C. Therefore, swimming is a favorite activity at this unique attraction.
Some lakes in Lençóis Maranhenses are large in size. Lake Bonita and Lake Azul near the town of Barreirinhas are the two most popular lakes.
Tropical Lake is closer to Atins village, while Gaivota is one of the largest and most beautiful lakes in the park.
Some lakes are connected to nearby rivers.Many fish take the opportunity to swim into this temporary living area.
Several species of fish go through the sand to the bottom mud in the dry season. By the rainy season, they dug into freshwater lakes to eat middlemen and "interact" with river fish.
Tourists are guided by the tour guide on jeeps.These freshwater lakes are the ideal place to relax.
This area is large and quite harsh so visitors are advised not to explore alone.
The blue of the water stands out on the white sand.
By the end of September, the lakes were drying up and quickly disappearing, leaving the bare sand to wait for the next rainy season.
This is one of the amazing natural phenomena of the Earth.
If you have the opportunity to come here, you should not miss the opportunity to admire the splendid sunset.
