Lençóis Maranhenses National Park is a 380,000-acre (155,000 hectare) protected area in northeastern Brazil. The park’s interior contains miles of rolling sand dunes, the valleys of which fill with freshwater lagoons during the rainy season and are prevented from draining by impermeable rock beneath. Lençóis Maranhenses has 43 miles (70 km) of Atlantic coastline and is home to a range of species, including four that are endangered — the scarlet ibis, the neotropical otter, the oncilla and the West Indian manatee.-2.533333°, -43.116667°
