What can you expect from a boat trip on the Preguiças River, observing nature with its birds?
Make the most of this birdwatching experience using all your senses and discover the details of Lençóis Maranhenses in an exclusive way.
We will explain where the Special Protected Areas are located in a dune field in transition with the Amazon, Cerrado biomes and mangrove and restinga systems, with all the dynamics of their wetlands.
We may encounter resident migratory bird species, seasonal migratory birds or simply passing through.
It is difficult to say what the best time for birdwatching is, as visitors change throughout the year, when most species arrive and others leave.
We are trained by ornithologists and researchers, we participate in this monitoring, and we will give you more information about the migratory phenomenon in this important Conservation Unit, called the APA dos Pequenos Lençóis Maranhenses. Sail through estuaries and streams for a few minutes, listening to wildlife. You can also see monkeys, coatis, raccoons, alligators, goats, cows, etc. The bird species we will have:

We develop ecotourism by raising awareness of the importance of preserving these natural environments that have been impacted by development in the vicinity of these natural environments. We contribute to riverside communities with birdwatching activities, which is a growing market for nature lovers. We have prepared some experiences in the places most frequented by birds by ornithologists who help us better understand the behavior of these birds. We also have a lot to learn from fishermen with various species of fish, crabs, etc.
