Florianópolis (Floripa to those who know it well), is a town situated in southern Brazil; lively, well organised, clean, with great beaches. A well known surfing spot, the town's also famous for its buzzing nightlife.
Florianopolis is a seaside resort in Brazil located on the Brazilian continent and on the Santa Catarina Island.
My suggestion
For a lovely view of the town of Florianopolis, head to the Mirador of Lagoa do Conceiçao.

My suggestion
Hire a car if you want to make the most of the beaches and surrounding villages - Blumenau, Jurêrê amongst others.

Florianopolis is an enjoyable place and it's worth staying a while. You won't regret paying it a visit.
Before even setting foot there, everyone knows Rio de Janeiro its Concorvado, its Sugarloaf. However, nothing will prepare the amazement that will come with each moment. Magic..
Between Itacaré in the north and Canavieras in the south of the State of Bahia, the Cocoa Route is becoming one of the must-see locations for those travelling to Brazil. On the 180km that separate the two cities, visitors will discover large farms where the manufacture of chocolate chips is at the heart of the activity, mangroves and a primary forest, "Mata Atlantica".
The fifth city of Brazil, situated in the north-east of the country, is generally forgotten by tourists. Despite a reputation that is sometimes a little rough, the city which unites large avenues, tall buildings and old colonial buildings, has something to charm you. In the surroundings, the city of Olinda and the beaches of Porto das Galinhas are much more popular among tourists.
Although the reputation of the Rio carnival may have faded, it's not the only city in Brazil that knows how to party. The proof is in Salvador de Bahia, the capital of Nordeste where rumba rings in every street corner.
