Highlights
  • Catedral Metropolitana de Florianopolis - Florianópolis is known in Brazil as the “Island of Magic”. Its breathtaking beaches are a paradise to surfers and beach goers alike. It is thought by many as the best place to unwind and get in touch with your inner self. It holds a lot of history as well as some of the most beautiful beaches in the country

In addition to over 40 gorgeous beaches, “Floripa” – the city’s nickname – has plenty of other attractions. On the tour, you will see the historical center where the little yellow and charming metropolitan cathedral is located.

  • Praca XV de Novembro - In the most important square of the city, we’ll get acquainted with Praça XV de Novembro (15th of November Square, named after the date in which the republic was proclaimed) where the imposing Palace Cruz e Souza stands, which now houses the historical museum of Santa Catarina.

The Palace is important in many ways as it’s staged many important moments in Brazilian history throughout different points in time. It hosted both Brazilian emperors during their visits to the city and was stormed by revolutionaries during the federalist revolution in 1891. It seems this palace has seen its share of history.

  • Hercilio Luz Bridge - Named after the Governor of Santa Catarina, another historical and visually striking location is the Hercilio Luz Bridge. It was the first bridge constructed to link the Island of Santa Catarina to the mainland.

  • Lagoa da Conceicao - But obviously, in a city like Floripa, the beaches and lagoons are still a must see. One of our other stops is one of the most famous natural landmarks in the city, the Lagoa da Conceição. The neighborhood houses not only a lagoon, but also a few buildings dating back to when the city was colonized and settled.

We will visit the lagoon of Conceição belvedere, which has a beautiful and complete view of the lagoon and Sete Voltas Hill.

  • Avenida das Rendeiras - Afterwards, you will pass the Rendeiras avenue, arriving at Joaquina Beach, where various national and world surfing championships take place. Beautiful waves are great for practicing the sport and it is a place admired by sports fans.
  • Barra da Lagoa - Leaving Joaquina, you will go to Barra da Lagoa, where you will have free time for lunch (not included).

Finally, tourists return to their hotels.

Interesting - Everything was punctual, the bus was impeccable and a good guide, although the tour said Spanish, the person understood but spoke Portuguese, that was a bit complex. We went to the city for a while, there is little to see, although I suppose there is not much else. The beach they took us to had very cold water, very icy, and it was very full of people, that was not very pleasant. The return was good, we stopped at a couple of very nice viewpoints.
