Itinerary

  1. Day 1

    Atins to Baixa Grande

    Your morning is open after arriving in Atins, so you can rest up or book optional activities like horseback riding or ATVs if you want. At 1:00 PM a 4x4 picks you up and drives through Canto de Atins to Duna da Bandeira, where vehicles have to stop. From there you'll walk about 10 km across lagoons and sand dunes heading to Baixa Grande, which totals roughly 32 km from where you started. You'll have dinner waiting and a hammock to sleep in once you arrive.

    Meals
    Breakfast (Breakfast at the pousada), Dinner (Dinner at Baixa Grande after trek)

    Included Activities

    • 4x4 transfer from Atins to Duna da Bandeira
    • Trek through Lençóis Desert with views of lagoons and sand dunes (approximately 10 km walking)

    Optional Activities

    • Horseback riding in the Lençóis Desert

  2. Day 2

    Baixa Grande to Queimada dos Paulos

    After an unhurried breakfast you'll head out on foot, covering about 12 km through dunes to Queimada dos Britos. This stage is the easier one of the whole crossing, and since you're not leaving at dawn you can move at your own pace. There are local restaurants at both Queimada dos Britos and Queimada dos Paulos (it's actually the same village but different families live there). Later in the day you'll have time to relax, then climb up the dunes before the sun sets to see what the desert offers at that hour. After eating dinner you'll have the evening under stars.

    Meals
    Breakfast (Breakfast at the oasis), Lunch (Picnic lunch along the way), Dinner (Dinner at Queimada dos Paulos)

    Included Activities

    • Trek from Baixa Grande to Queimada dos Paulos (approximately 12 km walking)
    • Dune climbing for sunset viewing

    Optional Activities

    • Meals at local restaurants in Queimada dos Britos or Queimada dos Paulos

  3. Day 3

    Queimada dos Paulos to Santo Amaro

    Get an early start to beat the worst heat and reach Betânia by noon. Today's the longest walk at about 15 km and takes roughly 6 hours, going through lots of lagoons and different landscapes. You'll swim in some of the nicer lagoons around here. Once you get to Betânia you'll have lunch and can walk around the village, which is one of the bigger settlements in the region. In the afternoon a 4x4 takes you to Santo Amaro where your package ends. From there you can stay in Santo Amaro or arrange your own transport to somewhere else if needed.

    Meals
    Breakfast (Breakfast at the oasis), Lunch (Lunch in Santo Amaro at the drop-off restaurant)

    Included Activities

    • Trek from Queimada dos Paulos to Betânia (approximately 15 km walking, about 6 hours)
    • Swimming in multiple lagoons along the route
    • 4x4 transfer from Betânia to Santo Amaro

    Optional Activities

    • Extended stay in Betânia to experience local lifestyle and desert culture
    • Additional transfers beyond Santo Amaro

    It was a well organized tour with a packed schedule of a great curation of activities to get a glimpse of the beauty of Brazil. All those involved in the trip were very communicative and professional and knowledgeable about the location and the activities. The only downside of the trip was that each location has so much to see and not enough time to see it all.
