Let’s get to know Lagoa do Portinho! traditional postcard of the coast of Piauí, in the northeast region of Brazil. The coast of Piauí is full of gems and the union of the most varied ecosystems. There's the Parnaíba Delta, there are clean, beautiful beaches with warm waters, like Barra Grande, there's Pedra do Sal and there's also a place that is well known in the region: Lagoa do Portinho. One of the most beautiful and traditional postcards of Piauí, Lagoa do Portinho separates the municipalities of Parnaíba and Luís Correia. It combines sea, river and urban environments. To find out more, follow us now at Meet Piauí. To begin with, the origin of Lagoa do Portinho was due to a tragic love story between rival indigenous tribes. But this love ended up leaving something of equal charm, which was the lagoon. Portinho's is formed by a beautiful lagoon that is sometimes darker, sometimes bluer (it's not the one from the famous film, but it's still beautiful) and its portions of sand, which create the famous sheets around the lagoons. The dunes shaped by the force of nature delight the eyes of those who visit there. The local scenario can change according to time and climatic conditions. The winds shape the entire space that makes up the lagoon, which is bathed by the waters of two streams, Portinho and Brandão. You can also find vegetation in the area, to the south, with shrubs and mangroves. The process of change will not end, as the dunes form in the direction of the wind. While the sand continues to go to the site, the Parnaíba River also continues to supply the lakes with water, after going through a natural process, among clean waters. Cooling off in the waters is always the first request. Walking through the dunes, rolling through the sand, feeling like a child, is also another attraction. It is still an excellent place for boat rides and jet-skiing. Adding to this, the most popular attraction is the Banana Boat. An inflatable banana-shaped boat, with tourists on top, is pulled by a speedboat and sails across the lagoon. Now we ask, do you like it without emotion or with emotion? In the latter, the format of this tour is for all members of the Banana Boat to fall into the water after a maneuver. Of course, the necessary care is maintained, but the excitement is truly guaranteed! And to recover the energy from all this? Eating or drinking in the bars and restaurants located on the edge of the lagoon is the right option. How about visiting or reliving Lagoa do Portinho? This is one of the places worth visiting and that cannot be forgotten.
