A must trip and you have to do it in the first afternoon when in Barreirinhas. Then go for a full day 4x4 to Atins. And for finale (if some budget left) take a flight over Lencois.

A wonderful experience! Especially, the sunset scenery at the end of the half day trip was absolutely extraordinary — it almost didn’t feel real! This was definitely the highlight of the tour!
