Only a few hours by road from Florianopolis airport you will be in the stunningly beautiful Serra Geral mountain range. With peaks reaching up to 1800m above sea level, this is the coldest part of Brazil. Having as a base a cosy mountain guesthouse in the rural areas of Urubici, you can choose to explore its outdoors- lush canyons, pristine mountain rivers, waterfalls, and araucaria forests – by foot, bike or horse-back. For a relaxing day, visit the newest wine terroir of Brazil, just an hour away, where bold winemakers are putting Santa Catarina on the map of high-end South American wines.
