Travel photographer Pakawat Thongcharoen took this amazing drone photo of Brazil’s Lencois Maranhenses National Park. A wildlife preserve includes the specific region that Thongcharoen took his photo in. Lencois Maranhenses, so named because it means “bedsheets of Maranhao,” is a city in Brazil and is known for its exceptionally distinctive dunes.

Over time, sediments accumulated to form the dune landscape that was photographed by the drone. In some places, the Lencois Maranhenses are not included in a preserve; you can sled down the sand dunes in a sport called skibunda. The DJI Mavic 2, which does well in hot weather, may have been the drone used to shoot this picture (in a hot and muggy environment).
