Florianopolis

Entrance to Florianopolis Mocambique Beach

Located on an island in the State of Santa Catarina in the south of Brazil, Florianopolis is a city that has 43 different beaches, along with a huge lagoon and mountains. It is home to the reigning world champion tennis player Gustavo "Guga" Kuerten.

Although lacking in the glitz and glamour associated with Rio's Carnaval, Florianopolis has a 'street Carnaval' that is quite festive, and is justly famous throughout Brazil for being one of the best.
