Florianopolis Travel Information

• The multitude of Florianópolis’ beaches may intimidate a visitor soon after they arrive from their Florianópolis flight, so familiarize yourself with the more sought after beaches depending on whether you’re hoping to sunbathe, swim, or participate in water sports. Praia Mole is one of the more popular beaches in Florianópolis, thanks to its picturesque rock formations, while Ingleses Beach is a must-see in the winter months for the festivals that take place here surrounding Christmas. 
• The nightlife in Florianópolis offers discoteques, packed clubs and cozy bars, but the best people watching in the city takes place during the day from a variety of different boardwalks and locales. If you hit the beach too soon after your flight to Florianópolis lands and you’re looking to kill some time off the sand, find a café on Avenida Beira Mar-Norte with an outdoor patio or go window-shopping along Rua Felipe Schmidt. 
• Looking to step off the beach for a few days? Take a daytrip to the Iguazú Waterfalls before your return Florianópolis flight. The waterfalls, which consist of 275 different waterfalls converging between the Brazilian province of Parana and Misiones, the northeastern province of Argentina, are one of the most breathtaking displays of natural might in the world and are surrounded by lush jungle vegetation.
