I had in mind to spend a week there but if everything is closed it's obviously not worth it.

Even also other areas advices are accepted but in any case, given the short stay, I would focalise on only one place and with "easy" connections.
I don't want to be stuck in a city.
Thanks to everybody who'll give an hint
Don't come, at least for now. Things are chaotic here, several parts of the three states you mention are under or considering lockdown (as pretty much all of Brazil), hospitals are full, a complete mess. I'd stay away from Brazil at least till May.
As for Lencois, best time is between June and September. And I'd avoid July as that's when school is off, although this year I have no idea how it's going to work.
