The airspace over the breathtaking Lençóis Maranhenses National Park is open to responsible drone flight operations under strict ecological preservation guidelines. Protecting a unique coastal desert-like landscape combined with seasonal ecosystems, this massive conservation unit allows drone pilots to capture incredible geometric patterns of sand and water. To maintain this privilege, operations must be meticulously coordinated to protect local wildlife and ensure visitor safety.











Regulatory Framework & Permissions: Drone operations are allowed for recreational and environmental capturing. All pilots must ensure their equipment is fully registered with ANAC and ANATEL, and flights must strictly comply with DECEA regulations (ICA 100-40) for unmanned aircraft.




Flight Authorization & Coordination: Standard recreational flights within open tourism zones do not require an individual environmental permit, but you must log your flight intent and secure normal clearance through the SARPAS portal. For professional, commercial, or documentary media productions, obtaining prior written authorization from the ICMBio park administration is mandatory.

Geofencing & Flight Conditions: The park's territory is not blocked by permanent firmware-level Red Zones by drone manufacturers, meaning your aircraft will unlock and take off normally. However, pilots must be highly prepared for intense local winds (which can quickly deplete batteries and cause drift) and the reflection of intense sunlight on the white sand, which can affect optical sensors.



Environmental Restrictions: To keep your flights legal, drones must never disturb or closely track the park's local fauna, including migratory birds and endemic fish species in the lagoons. Additionally, operators must maintain a safe distance from tourist groups, 4x4 transport vehicles, and popular swimming spots to protect public safety and privacy.


Legal Penalties: Flying a drone recklessly, harassing animals, or operating without a valid SARPAS clearance will lead to immediate flight termination by park rangers. Violations are subject to equipment confiscation, heavy administrative fines under Brazilian environmental laws, and criminal prosecution under Article 261 of the Brazilian Penal Code for endangering airspace safety.
