Lençóis Maranhenses

Lençóis Maranhenses is a National Park in the Maranhão state of Brazil.

The park was featured in the Brazilian film The House of Sand. Kadhal Anukkal, a song from an Indian Tamil language film Enthiran starring Rajnikanth and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was also shot here. The films Avengers: Infinity War (2018) and Avengers: Endgame (2019) used the park's landscape as the planet of Vormir.

Lençóis Maranhenses National Park receives as many as 60,000 visitors a year, and is a popular destination for ecotourism, given its unique physical features. Common activities within the park include "surfing, canoeing, adventure tourism, rustic camping, horseback riding, and all-terrain vehicle...and water tours." The best route of entry is flight to the regional capital of São Luís, and then travel by jeep to the interior of the park from Barreirinhas.
