São Luís is the only Brazilian capital founded by the French (1612) and has a UNESCO World Heritage-listed old town that is among the best-preserved colonial ensembles in the New World. The capital of the state of Maranhão is located on an island in the Atlantic and is known for its Portuguese tile art (Azulejos), Afro-Brazilian culture, and as a gateway to the surreal Lençóis Maranhenses.
The historic center — the Centro Histórico — is a labyrinthine district with over 3,500 buildings from the 18th and 19th centuries, whose facades are adorned with colorful Portuguese Azulejo tiles. Rua Portugal and Rua do Giz are the most photogenic streets with restored houses in pastel and blue.

The Lençóis Maranhenses — just 250 km away — are one of the most surreal landscapes on Earth: endless white sand dunes interspersed with crystal-clear rainwater lagoons in shimmering turquoise.
