Florianópolis is a spectacular city located just north of Argentina in southern Brazil. An ocean side city, it's layout is quite unique. It's a continental city which also has  several islands with it's inhabitants, just off the shore. One island in particular is attached to mainland with a narrow peninsula, and is one of the primary locations visitors will spend much of their time. This part of the city is made up in a large part from the scattered villages nestled in between hills and rainforest which compose much of the islands landscape. The state Santa Catarina is one of the greenest in Brazil, with many initiatives to keep Florianópolis along with other cities within it not only building green infrastructure, but protecting it's own natural resources as well. According to the United Nations, this city also has the highest Human Development Index (HDI) in Brazil.

Known well for it's surf, Florianópolis also has many other activities to do. From hiking to biking, to just exploring the towns, you are sure to not be short of anything fun to do while visiting.
