Route of Emotions -
São Luis, Lençóis Maranhenses, Delta do Parnaiba,
Jericoacoara and Fortaleza

Day 1 - Arrival at São Luís, transfer in, night in chosen lodging.

Day 2 - Breakfast, transfer out, departure by road from S. Luís to Barreirinhas, tour the National Park and visit to the Azul and Peixes Lagoons, night on chosen lodging.

Day 3 - Breakfast, departure from Barreirinhas in motor boat by the Rio Preguiças, visit to the Pequenos Lençóis (Morro do Boi, Espadarte, Vassouras, farol do Mandacaru, Caburé), night in chosen lodging.

Day 4 - Breakfast, departure to Parnaíba in 4x4, panoramic tour of the Oasis of Rio Novo and Paulino Neves, transfer hotel-port, tour in motor boat of the Delta of the Parnaíba. The River Parnaíba, separating the states of Piauí and Maranhão, runs for almost 1,500 kilometres before flowing into the Atlantic. It forms the only open-sea delta in the entire American continent and is one of the three largest in the world. Like the fingers of an outstretched palm, the river divides into five channels forming more than seventy islands and an infinite number of lakes, a maze of narrow channels and ecological sanctuaries. Wonders of this magnitude are only to be seen in two other places in the world, the Mekong Delta in Vietnam (Asia) and the Nile Delta in Egypt (Africa).The beauty of the Parnaíba Delta is enhanced by flocks of herons, toucans, yellow-crawed alligators, monkeys, wild horses, lion monkeys, foxes and deer. This rich fauna may be seen by taking a trip in one of the wooden boats called "gaiolas" that sail around the delta. One of the largest islands is Caju, an ecological sanctuary where a rare combination of ecosystems provides a haven for animals in extinction and migratory birds. As well as abundant vegetation with cashew trees and mango forests, the island has twenty five kilometres of semiwild beaches, salt-water channels, dunes and crystal clear fresh-water lakes formed by rain water. Night in chosen lodging.

Day 5 - Breakfast, departure from Parnaíba to Jericoacoara in a 4x4 vehicle. Jeri is a place removed from the hurried modern world of screeching sirens, maniac deadlines, traffic jams and endless lineups. A place where streets are paved with sand, where beaches stretch as far as the eye can see and where warm water marries with palm swaying breezes. Until about 20 years ago, Jericoacoara was still a secluded and simple fishing village. There were no roads, no electricity, no phones, no TV's, no newspapers, and money was rarely used. Panoramic tour of Camocim and Ilha do Amor and by the beaches of Mangue Seco, Guriú and Tatajuba, night in chosen lodging.

Day 6 - Breakfast, tour / walk to the Praia do Preá, visit to the lagoons Azul and Paraíso, night in chosen lodging.

Day 7 - Breakfast, departure to Fortaleza, transfer out, end of services.
