Florianópolis: Between Beaches and the Beauty of Nature

Also nicknamed "Floripa" or "Ilha de Magia" (Island of Magic), Florianópolis is a must-visit destination in Brazil. Its beaches are the main attractions, with spots like Praia Mole and Joaquina for surfing, and Campeche and Jurerê Internacional for swimming. The trail leading to Morro da Lagoa offers a glimpse of nature for hikers, as well as Lagoa da Conceição. A visit to the Hercílio Luz Bridge also provides a panoramic view. For thrill-seekers, try sandboarding on the Joaquina dunes or rafting excursions. The public market of Florianópolis is the best spot for tasting local specialties, and occasionally discovering cultural events. To combine hiking and swimming, the Lagoinha do Leste Natural Park allows you to explore the Atlantic forest and access secluded beaches. Finally, for a cultural touch, the Santa Catarina Art Museum opens its doors to you.
