Lencois Maranhenses National Park Brazil

The Lencois Maranhenses National Park Brazil is located in Maranhao state, in northeastern Brazil, just east of the Baja de Sao Jose. It is an area of low, flat, occasionally flooded land, overlaid with large, discrete sand dunes. It encompasses roughly 1500 square kilometers, and despite abundant rain, supports almost no vegetation. The park was created on June 2, 1981. It was featured in the Brazilian film The House of Sand. Most recently, it was featured in the song "Kadhal Anukkal" from the Indian film, Enthiran.
