Which is the largest field of sand dunes in South America?

Lancoise Maranhenses has a breathtaking landscape with miles and miles of white dunes dotted by freshwater lagoons, sometimes blue, sometimes green. It looks like a long, white crumpled sheet and is undoubtedly the largest field of sand dunes in South America.

Lancoise Maranhenses National Park is located in Brazil. The natural vegetation in the Park thrives in the edges of the dunes. The lagoons in the park are often interconnected with one another, as well as with the rivers that run through the area. A number of fish and insects live in it including the wolf fish. The wolf fish burrows down into the wet layers of mud and remains dormant during the dry season. The Park also shelters four endangered species-the scarlet ibis, the neotropical otter, the oncilla and the West Indian manatee.
