UNFORGETTABLE VACATIONS IN SOUTH AMERICA
Brazil destinations: The magic of Florianopolis , in South Brazil
HIDDEN ISLANDS IN BRAZIL
The state of Santa Catarina is a classic summer destination between the brazilian tourists.
Florianopolis is the capitol.
It concentrates the main tourist
destinations of the South Brazil coast.
Inns and great hotels; old large houses and
military castles of centuries XVII and XVIII;
beaches , lagoons and small tropical islands.
These are some of the ingredients that locate to
Florianópolis like a place than more tempting.
To the north, in Canasvieiras, Ingleses and
Jureré are the beaches with greater
infrastructure of the island. With exception of
the anxious surge of Brava and Santinho, the
waters of this zone are warm and calm . Santinho
beach keeps, as well, a valuable treasure: it has
cave paintings of about 5000 years old.
The Ilha da Magia - Island of Magic
Turned a classic one of the summer for the
tourists, the island of Santa Catarina,
Florianopolis, offers a tempting trilogy: an
ample variety of beaches, the intense green of
its hills (morros) and lively night life..
From July to early October
awesome southern right whales, which grow
up to 17 metres in length, come to this
beautiful coastline to breed. The world's second
most endangered whale is now returning to
shores where once it was hunted close to
extinction. At Laguna, once capital of Guiseppe
Garibaldi's ill-fated separatist republic,
fishermen work with dolphins to herd shoals
towards their nets. Praia do Rosa is a favoured
destination for surfers, while inland the
monumental escarpment of the Serra Geral
rears upwards, misty cliffs topped with ancient
monkey puzzle trees.

From south to north, from east to west, the main attraction is always this: the sea. The most popular production of the state, that of oysters, also comes from it. In restaurants, oysters are served in the most diverse ways; whether natural or au gratin, there is always the certainty of consuming the fresh product.
Have you ever heard of the famous beach Jurerê? Certainly not one of the most beautiful, but it is among the most popular beaches in Brazil! A high standard real estate development made the left stretch of the beach earn the name of Jurerê International, because of the houses that run a little bit of the reality of our country - you only see huge houses and no walls. Those who want to get excited, meet people and have good drinks in front of the beach can bet on this option.
To the south, where the waters are clearer, one of the great attractions is Campeche Island. Worthy of Caribbean transparency, the island's small beach is breathtaking, so beautiful. You can also do guided trails, observe cave inscriptions or simply be delighted with the view of the open sea - it depends on the will of the visitor.
Florianópolis has become one of the most coveted tourist destinations in Brazil. In the high season, mainly on New Year's Eve and in the following days, tourists from all states and neighboring countries choose the capital of Santa Catarina to enjoy the days off. Paradisiacal beaches and glamorous parties are great attractions, no one doubts, but it is not only that the island of magic lives.
Go in the summer to enjoy the sea in a pleasant temperature, but be patient, because the traffic jams at the end of the day are gigantic. Get to know the island a little, enjoying its quality of life, and also the Azorean culture, strong in the state. Tranquility and excitement, parties and rest are apparently qualities of opposite places, but Floripa has been playing this versatile role with mastery.
Ponte Hercílio Luz
Rua Jornalista Assis Chateaubriand, 70, Centro
Link of integration of the Capital (Florianopolis) with the rest of the Santa Catarina State, the steel suspension bridge (which has a total weight of 5 thousand tons) served the population uninterruptedly until January 22, 1982, when it suffered the first ban because of the deterioration of the eye bars.
Fortaleza de Santa Cruz de Anhatomirim
Ilha de Anhatomirim, Baía Norte-FLN
Designed to be the main fortification of the old defense system of Santa Catarina Island, the Anhatomirim Fortress didn't help during the Spanish invasion of 1777 for a simple reason: the invaders didn't enter with their ships through the North Bay, preferring to land in Canasvieiras, and make the journey on foot to the headquarters of the old Desterro.
