São Luís
São Luís preserves colonial mansions and tiled facades in its historic center, recognized by UNESCO. Walks through Praia Grande can be combined with visits to churches, fountains and theaters.

Araioses
Araioses has Ilha das Canárias as a reference visit in the Delta do Parnaíba, reachable by boat trip. Watching the guarás' revoada is also part of the region's tourist programs. The experience involves islands and channels, and requires local support to define navigation and visit the communities without confusing the municipal seat with the tour's boarding point.

Barreirinhas
Barreirinhas grew up on the banks of the Rio Preguiças and is one of the gateways to the Lençóis Maranhenses. Boat trips reveal riverside villages, while dunes and lagoons complete the journey.

Paulino Neves
Paulino Neves is crossed by the Rio Novo and is part of the landscape of the Pequenos Lençóis Maranhenses. Dunes, lagoons and beaches make up the tours, between riverside life and the paths of the Rota das Emoções.

Primeira Cruz
Primeira Cruz brings together rivers, mangroves and lagoons on the Maranhão coast. Riverside life along the Rio Periá and the waters of Lagoa do Cassó reveal the different settings of the municipality.

Santo Amaro do Maranhão
Santo Amaro do Maranhão sits next to the dunes and lagoons of the Lençóis Maranhenses. Walks across the sand, swims in the lagoons and visits to local communities bring you close to the landscape.

Tutóia
Tutóia combines Praia da Barra, the setting of the traditional regatta, with Arpoador and Praia do Amor, which feature on coastal tours. The Duna do Pôr do Sol offers views of the landscape between the delta and the Pequenos Lençóis. The town is a base in Maranhão for visiting beaches, dunes and fishing life with locally organized access.
