Package holiday to São Luís

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.

São Luís is the birthplace of Bumba-meu-boi — one of the most spectacular folk festivals in Brazil, which in June transforms the entire city into a frenzy of drum rhythms, colorful costumes, and nighttime processions. Reggae is also surprisingly present: São Luís is called the 'Jamaica of Brazil.'

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.

São Luís particularly impresses with fascinating culture, breathtaking nature, excellent cuisine. As a package holiday destination, you benefit from attractive all-inclusive packages with flights, hotels, and often transfers – all at a fixed price and fully secured.
