Local knowledge for Barreirinhas
Where to stay
Budget hostels cluster along the riverfront strip and the main streets radiating from the central plaza, keeping you within walking distance of tour agencies and the ferry landing. Staying in this core area means you are close to the pickup points for 4x4 tours to the dunes, whereas staying further out near the airport or on the outskirts requires a mototaxi ride back to town after dark.
Getting around
- Tours to Lagoa Bonita and Lagoa Azul depart in the afternoon to catch the sunset, so book your excursion for the late morning or early afternoon to maximize your time in the water. Booking through your hostel often saves a small fee compared to street agents.
- Bring cash for the entire stay. ATMs in town are unreliable and often run dry, and the tour operators, ferry services, and riverside vendors do not accept cards. Withdraw enough reais in São Luís before heading north.
- The sun is intense and the breeze is deceptive. Apply high-SPF sunscreen liberally and bring a hat, as the white sand reflects UV rays directly onto your face. Carry more water than you think you need for any trek into the dunes.
When to go
Hostels are cheapest and easiest to book from October to April, when the lagoons are drying out and the heat is intense. Rates spike and rooms fill quickly from May to September, the rainy season when the lakes are full and the landscape is at its most spectacular, especially around Brazilian holidays.
