São Luís
The Capital of Maranhão started out differently: it is the only Brazil capital founded by the French, in 1612. After they were expelled, the Dutch came, until the Portuguese started to construct the architectural collection which now is preserved in 3,500 buildings, some of which are covered by European tiles, that make the city an official historical and cultural landmark. The cultural mix of São Luís can be measured by its nicknames: City of Tiles; Brazilian Jamaica- due to the strong presence of reggae; Brazilian Athens – for its abundance of literary authors and music; the Island of Love – because of the beauty and poetry of its attractions and people. This rich combination created an exotic culture that you can see and feel in the streets, people, night, cuisine, everywhere.

Barreirinhas
Imagine a desert with thousands of pristine lakes formed by rainwater. This place does exist, in Maranhão. Maybe you have seen it on TV, but nothing beats the sensation of being there firsthand. Besides the Lençois, the city of Barreirinhas offers unique excursions on the Preguiças River, by boat, floats or extreme excursions on 4-wheelers. Here you won´t just be in contact with nature, you will be part of it.
