By the Atlantic Ocean coast in northeast Brazil is a huge expanse of sand dunes peppered with a string of lakes - a place of breathtaking beauty: the Lençóis Maranhenses National Park.
A few inhabitants live in the park in an oasis of greenery surrounded by the dunes, which the inhabitants call an "island", and its village, Queimada dos Britos. It's the only place in this part of the desert which offers a little shade. But to get there, visitors must first cross the Rio Negro, the park's only permanent river. Without this, there would be no oasis or village at the heart of the dunes.
Even though visitors are rare here, they are always given a warm welcome.
