The National Park of Yosemite National Park is a national park created in Brazil June 2, 1981 in an area of ​155,000 hectares on the banks of the River Laziness, in the northeastern state of Maranhao and distant about 260 miles from St. Louis, occupying a total area of 270 square kilometers, with dunes up to 40 meters and freshwater ponds. This is a unique coastal ecosystem within the Caatinga biome, which combines high winds and regular rainfall. It consists of a strip of dunes that moves between 5 and 25 km inland. The dunes are small freshwater ponds. The film House of Sand was recorded within the park.
