The most beautiful crossing on the Brazilian coast
The Route of Emotions links Fortaleza to São Luís along the coast, stitching together three of the most striking landscapes in Brazil. It starts in the dunes and lagoons of Jericoacoara, crosses the maze of islands in the Parnaíba Delta and ends in the dune field of Lençóis Maranhenses, where rainwater fills thousands of freshwater lagoons. It is a 7 to 10 day journey that takes real logistics: legs are covered by 4x4, boat and road, and each destination has its own best season. We put the whole crossing together, from transfers to tours, with local operators at every stop.
- No gaps between legs
- Transfers and tours slotted in the right order, with no time lost waiting for a connection.
- Operated by locals
- Our own team in Jericoacoara and executing partners in Lençóis, not phone brokerage.
- Tailor made
- You set the pace: the full crossing or just the leg missing from your trip.
- Best season
- The Lençóis lagoons fill between June and September. We will tell you when to go, even if it is not now.
Four stops, one crossing
