But it wasn't until 2024 that the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) recognized the area as a World Heritage Site — making it the 24th such location in Brazil.

During the rainy season, crystalline lagoons form in the crevices of the sand dunes, adding even more color to an already stunning sight. Notably, the park is also home to four endangered species, including the West Indian manatee and scarlet ibis.
