Lençóis Maranhese : peaceful journey on the moon
As part of a trip to Brasil last spring, I had the chance to discover Lençóis Maranhese National Park in Nordeste : a surreal coastal desert environment which might be the most unique destination of the world. Its white sand dunes and crystal-clear freshwater lagoons were formed through a combination of wind-driven sand deposits and rainfall that accumulates in the areas between the dunes.
Everyday hundreds of tourists reach the dunes but each of them can find his own path in the immensity. A few minutes of walk and you suddenly let the view melt with your inner world. Loneliness gets soft and powerful. Wonder meets introspection. Travelers not only want to escape, they look for pure experience of freedom.
You can also find other pictures of this brazilian journey after the series, from Rio to Jericoacoara.
