Lençóis Maranhenses
A 40-year dream in Atins
Built by hand by Buna, with no architect, using recycled wood and the heart of a man who found his paradise in 1980
Since 1980
The Ranch That Buna Built
In 1980, when Atins was a fishing village of 300 inhabitants with no electricity and no roads, Buna found his paradise. He bought a plot of land in Atins and, with his own hands, began building what is now Rancho do Buna — with no architect's blueprint, using recycled and reclaimed wood. Every piece of furniture, every detail, was made by him.

Atins, Gateway to the Lençóis
In the village where Buna arrived when there were only fishermen and sailing rafts, the unhurried way of life still pulses through the sandy streets. Just a few kilometres away, Lençóis Maranhenses National Park reveals its sweeping dunes and crystal-clear lagoons. And around the ranch, the igarapé — a stream fed by waters from the dunes for four months each year — frames the landscape.
