WINTER PARADISE:
FLORIANÓPOLIS, BRAZIL
With the January blues in full force,
this is certainly something to look
forward to. Beautiful beaches,
sunshine and a cocktail at hand.
Magical!
Florianópolis, the capital of the Brazilian state of Santa Catarina, is also known as Magic Island. The island, located on the
coast, is one of the most visited cities in Brazil.
If you're looking for an escape from the British winter, look no further. South America's most popular
tropical country, Brazil, is currently at its summer
season peak. Right now you're looking at 25 degrees which we're sure you'll agree makes an amazing change to the UK!
Florianopolis has over 100 beaches for you to explore and is a well known spot for surfing. The island
also offers a wide range of sports, from paragliding,
diving and kite surfing to something more relaxing
like Brazilian Jujitsu and yoga.
Among the monuments, attractions and places to
visit, Vitor Meireles' home, the Metropolitan Cathedral and the beautiful Lagoa da Conceição, 13 km
from the centre are definitely worth exploring.
The island has many hotels and resorts recognized
for the excellence of their service and plenty of options for travellers looking for comfort. Florianópolis
really is a slice of heaven.
