During his 13-week trip he passed by Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Colombia, Nicaragua, Guatemala and Mexico. When it was over, Seth chose the highs and lows of his trip and amazingly (or not) picked the Len\u00e7\u00f3is Maranhenses National Park, in Brazil, as his trip\u2019s Best Moment.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>The most beautiful place in the world?

These dunes dotted with fresh water crystal clear lagoons and seen from above the landscape reminds one of crumpled sheets (in Portuguese: Len\u00e7\u00f3is) \u2013 giving this alluring destination its name. This is a destination of violent winds and changing landscapes; of thresholds where mangrove meets desert, desert meets ocean and ocean meets rivers. The Len\u00e7\u00f3is is certainly one of the most unique and impressive landscapes in the country, perhaps in the world!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em>\u00a0<\/em><em>\u00a0<a rel=\"attachment wp-att-1489\" href=\"http:\/\/matuete.com\/wpmatuete\/2010\/10\/25\/paradise-found\/imagem1\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1489    aligncenter\" title=\"Len\u00e7\u00f3is Maranhenses\" src=\"http:\/\/matuete.com\/wpmatuete\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/Imagem1-510x340.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Still curious? <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/matuete.com\/wpmatuete\/places-to-visit\/lencois-maranhenses\">Click here<\/a><\/strong> and find out more about this heaven on earth destination.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/frugaltraveler.blogs.nytimes.com\/2010\/09\/14\/frugal-summer-highs-and-lows\/#more-5437\">The Frugal Traveler<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;The most beautiful place in the world?
