Looking for an exciting
new vacation destination?
Look no further than
Florianopolis, Brazil.
Florianopolis is a charming island located two hours south of the
famous Rio de Janeiro. Florianopolis is blessed with 42 beautiful
beaches, one more eye pleasing than the next, and with styles and
atmospheres to fit every taste imaginable. In addition, the island
is blessed with soft white sand dunes, rolling green hills and
crystalline lagoons. Truly a nature lover’s paradise, one can
continually find new treasures on the island.
Out of island’s many beaches, there are over 20 high quality surf
breaks, providing nearly unlimited choices and variety for visiting
surfers, and as such is known as the surf capital of Brazil. The WCT
Pro Tour (the highest level surf competition in the world) has only
12 stops around the globe, and the only one in all of South America
is in Florianopolis. So if the waves are good enough for Slater,
Irons & co., then that is already a pretty good sign!
In addition to the island’s stunning natural beauty, visitors will
also be astounded by the amazing dining and nightlife options on the
island, some of South America’s best, as well as the broad array of
outdoor activities available for sporting enthusiasts and fine
shopping for the shop-a-holics. Completely safe (unlike Brazil’s
largest urban mega-centers such as Sao Paulo and Rio), Florianopolis
has retained the feel of a sleepy beach town despite being a state
capital and having grown quite a bit in its own right after landing
on the international radar screen just a few short years ago.
The “magic island” as many refer to it has an uncanny effect of
enchanting visitors from around the globe, many of whom leave with
dreams of coming back – not just to visit, but to live!
Recently named by Newsweek international as one of the world’s “top
10 most dynamic cities”, Florianopolis truly has something to offer
for anyone. So if you’re looking for travel ideas, mark this one on
the top of the list!
