Brazil Lençóis Maranhenses National Park: When the name of the desert comes, this image often comes to mind. Sand dunes spread far and wide, scorching sun and extreme heat are the identity of the desert. There is no water anywhere in the desert, we have been hearing this phrase since childhood. But have you ever seen a desert where there is more water than sand? The beauty of this desert is captivating. We are talking about the Lancois Maranheses National Park of Brazil.
rainy desert
This scenic national park is located in the Maranhaes state in the northeast of Brazil. This park looks exactly like a desert, but in reality there is water in this desert. Usually the desert receives less than 250 mm of rainfall, but the Lenção Maranhaes National Park receives more than 1200 mm of rainfall per year. 700 mm of rainfall occurs from January to May. Therefore, this place cannot be called completely a desert.
Depth of the lake
The high white sand dunes present in Lançois Maranhes National Park remind people of the desert. Water is not visible far in the desert, but water ponds can be seen between these sand dunes in Lançois Maranhes National Park. These lakes have very clean and fresh water. These lakes are up to 3 meters deep. Also, their depth increases during the rainy season.
Why does water accumulate?
By pouring water in the sand, the water dries up and disappears. But this is not the case in Lençóis Maranhaçais National Park. According to reports, there is a strong rock under the sand dunes at this place. Due to this, the water slides down from the sand and due to the rock, the water gets collected between the sand dunes instead of flowing out.
