Southern Brazil Holidays

The Southern coast of Brazil has an abundance of white sand beaches and emerald seas to soak up while on holiday, encased by endless green mountains and lush forestry. With 350 miles of beaches in Santa Catarina alone, the area boasts spectacular surfing. Head south from Rio to the coastline around the city of Florianopolis (known as Floripa) for Southern Brazil holidays, surfing hotspots, (yet more) beautiful people, whale watching and sensational seafood.

What is there to do in Southern Brazil?

While surfing is the star attraction in Southern Brazil, the diverse landscapes also allow for a multitude of other activities, including hiking in the cooler Serra Geral Mountains, fishing, sailing and paragliding. And the underwater world here is just as beguiling and vibrant as the coastal scenery, making this a lovely location for both avid divers and beginners. Active days can be followed by nights spent discovering the region’s eclectic food scene, as a means of replenishing energy levels. Sample the famed Santa Catarina oysters or indulge in an intimate private wine tasting session beside the beach.

If it’s relaxation you’re after, Southern Brazil is the perfect place to do absolutely nothing except soak up the rays and relax, with the subtropical climate lending itself to beachfront lounging and gentle sea swims. Explore Santa Catarina’s 350 miles worth of white-sand beaches and find your favourites stretch of coastline, whether you’re after a secluded spot (south of Ilha de Santa Catarina) or a more bustling beachfront (located further north).
