What to bring?
◦ Short and long pants, swimsuit or bikini.
◦ Insect repellent, sunscreen, sunglasses and a flashlight.
◦ If travelers use contact lenses, we suggest they bring glasses for dune rides because wind can cause discomfort.
◦ A bottle to drink water, avoiding the use of disposable containers.
◦ Although this trekking can be done barefoot (watch out for blisters!), we recommend waterproof trekking sandals as we will be crossing some rivers along the way.
◦ A 10-15kg backpack is recommended for trekking, leaving the rest of the luggage at São Luis de Maranhão. Having a raincoat with the possibility of putting the bag inside is preferable.

• Best travel period?
◦ This travel can be made throughout the year. Between January and April, the weather is unstable, from May to September is the period when lagoons are fuller, and from October to December is the dry season when it's windier and there is less tourism.
◦ The period of June and July are the celebrations of Sao João in the region, there is less accommodation availability, but there are many folk festivals on weekends.

• Hiking Level of Difficulty: This trekking is usually flat and easy. It also includes some trekking across dunes where it becomes harder of moderate difficulty. The trek as whole is around 24km for 3 days. There are a lot of stops along the way for having a bath at the lagoons. It is important to be well protected from the sun and the wind.

• Banks and money exchange: The exchange and/or cash withdrawal at ATMs is preferably done at airports for security and because most of the Experiences take place in locations with little banking structure.
