Ingapura House is a regenerative retreat on the banks of the Rio Preguiças, in the village of Bar da Hora — a quieter, more authentic gateway to Lençóis Maranhenses. Winner of the Braztoa Sustainability Award 2024 and recognized nationally for community-based tourism, the house was created with a simple conviction: hospitality should not only occupy a place, but help preserve its way of life.
With four air-conditioned suites for up to ten guests, Casa Ingapura combines comfort, privacy, and a genuine sense of place. Wide verandas, hammocks, handcrafted woodwork, and open spaces allow the house to breathe alongside the river. Breakfast is fresh, local, and prepared daily, and filtered water is available throughout your stay.
Here, you are close to Lençóis Maranhenses while removed from the crowds and standardized experiences of mass tourism. Guests can arrive by regular speedboat from Barreirinhas or by private boat for groups. During your stay, we can help facilitate activity planning, schedules, and local arrangements, including access to Lençóis Maranhenses and community-based experiences with local guides, fishers, and artisans. Booking Casa Ingapura is not simply choosing where to sleep — it is choosing a more thoughtful way to experience Lençóis Maranhenses.
