The diverse landscape of southern Brazil also allows for a multitude of other activities, including hiking in the cooler Serra Geral Mountains, diving, fishing, sailing and paragliding. On the other hand, it is the perfect place to do absolutely nothing except soak up the rays and relax.
Head south from Rio to the coastline around the city of Florianopolis (known as Floripa) for surfing hotspots, (yet more) beautiful people, and whale watching. We have handpicked our favourite hotels to ensure that all of the above is possible, as well as having a few restaurants up our sleeve that we know serve some of the best seafood around.
