Why choose drone photo & video in Lençóis Maranhenses?
The Lençóis Maranhenses is a landscape that only makes sense from above: the dunes run in parallel ridges for kilometres, and the lagoons sit between them in shades of blue and green that change with depth. Aerial work here is what most clients actually picture. It is also the kind of shoot that ICMBio’s park office singled out in 2026, when it published deadlines for image requests and named drones in the same circular.
Worth knowing about Lençóis Maranhenses
The park’s Ofício Circular nº 15/2026 refuses image-capture requests filed less than 10 days ahead, may not handle those under 15 days, and sends drone operators to ANATEL, ANAC and DECEA’s ICA 100-40, whose SARPAS system accepts no request more than 90 days before the flight. A Lençóis drone session that needs ICMBio authorisation is therefore filed between 90 and 15 days out.

FAQ — Drone photo & video in Lençóis Maranhenses
Does a drone need ICMBio authorisation in the Lençóis Maranhenses?
When the flight goes beyond ordinary visitation, yes: ICMBio’s Lençóis Maranhenses circular of July 2026 names drones among image-capture activities and refuses requests filed under 10 days ahead. Every drone flight in Brazil is also authorised in DECEA’s SARPAS, and the drone must be registered with ANAC and homologated by ANATEL.
How early should a Lençóis Maranhenses drone session be booked?
Between three months and three weeks ahead. DECEA’s SARPAS accepts no request more than 90 days before the flight, and the Lençóis Maranhenses park office wants image requests at least 15 days ahead, so a booking about a month out leaves time for both.
