Lencois Maranhenses National Park, a true marvel of nature, is a breathtaking oasis located in the Brazilian state of Maranhão. Steeped in history and natural wonder, this extraordinary landscape mesmerizes visitors with its ever-shifting sand dunes and crystal-clear, turquoise lagoons that appear like pearls amidst the vast desert-like terrain. The park's name, "Lencois Maranhenses," translates to "bedsheets of Maranhão," perfectly describing the undulating dunes that resemble billowing white bedsheets.

The formation of this unique phenomenon can be traced back millions of years, as rainwater collects during the wet season and creates these ephemeral lagoons, which disappear during the dry season, only to reappear with the next rainfall. As visitors traverse this surreal expanse, they are enchanted by the otherworldly beauty, making it a haven for photographers, nature enthusiasts, and adventurers alike.

You see them packed into the narrow city-center streets, but also unexpectedly wandering around the suburbs, smiling from ear to ear, slaloming between the cars parked on the sidewalks.

I travel to to Greece for 3 weeks every summer and I am gone by July 1,” said Kelly Shea, founder of high-end travel agency Kelly Shea Travels. “I can’t deal with the crowds or the heat.”

Her other favorite time of year? September and October, especially by yacht.
