Atins

A four hour boat trip along the river Preguicas took us to the Atlanic Ocean. Atins is a small fisher village which doesn't see a lot of turists. The reason we got there was to visit the sand dunes which are similiar to the ones in Barreirinhas, but you don't need a tour a there are almost no other people around which spoil the impression of being alone in a sand desert. So we did that and encountered the views and lagoons we were hoping for. We walked around for about five hours in the burning sun. The last strech takes you along the green flatlands along the river delta, which offers a lot of sureal views with the dunes in the back.

In the evenings we grilled some fish at the posada.
To get back to Barreireinhas we had to take a Jeep at 4 o'clock in the night, which got stuck in the mud three times and we had to pull and push it out.
