About Atins

Atins is the gateway to the wonderful Lençóis Maranhenses National Park. An area of 155 thousand hectares, among dunes with more than 60,000 crystalline water lagoons formed by rainwater. The abundant shades of blue and green amaze the curious eyes of the visitors.

As descidas ingremes das dunas sugerem a descida e o mergulho nas lagoas. Sempre com temperaturas mais que agradáveis os turistas podem desfrutar do banho de mar, rio e lagoas. As ruas de areia são a moldura para o comércio local, de lojas de artesanato, bares e restaurantes.

As atividades são sempre muito peculiares e de paisagens estonteantes, passeios à cavalo, de jardineiras, quadriciclos até a prática do kitesurf no rio ou nas lagoas.

Sem contar os passeios noturnos para encontrar a lua cheia gigante ou ter a experiência de ver os plânctons. Encantador!

The steep drops of the dunes suggest going down and diving in the lagoons. Always with very pleasant temperatures, tourists can enjoy bathing in the sea, river, and lagoons. The sandy streets are the frame for the local commerce, of handicraft stores, bars and restaurants.

Activities such as horseback riding, kitesurfing and quad tour are always very peculiar and with breathtaking landscapes.

Not to mention the night tours to find the giant full moon on the sand dunes for a private dinner or the experience of seeing the plankton. Incredible!
