On our tour, you will see the historical center, where the little yellow and charming metropolitan cathedral is located. In the most important square of the city, we’ll get acquainted with Praça Novembro XV (15th of November Square, named after the date in which the republic was proclaimed) where stands the imposing Palace Cruz e Souza, which now houses the historical museum of Santa Catarina. The Palace is important in many ways, having staged many important moments in Brazilian history throughout different points in time. Having hosted both Brazilian emperors during their visits to the city. Having been stormed by revolutionaries during the federalist revolution in 1891 and in a protest against military dictatorship in 79. It seems this palace has seen its share of history. One other historical and visually striking location is the Ponte Hercilio Luz, named after the Governor of Santa Catarina who conceived the bridge to be the first connection between the island and the continent. which unfortunately he never saw finished, as he passed away before the bridge was completed. The bridge is now closed for traffic and it is a national cultural heritage. But obviously, on a city like Floripa, the beaches and lagoons are still a must see. One of our other stops is one of the most famous natural landmarks in the city, the Lagoa da Conceição. The neighborhood houses not only a lagoon, but also a few buildings dating back to when the city was colonized and settled. We will visit the lagoon of Conceição belvedere, which has a beautiful and complete view of the lagoon and Morro das Sete Voltas, afterwards, we will pass the Rendeiras avenue, arriving at Joaquina Beach, where various national and world surfing championships take place. Beautiful waves are great for practicing the sport and it is a place admired by sports fans. Leaving Joaquina, we will go to Barra da Lagoa, where we will have free time for lunch (not included) and soon after we continue towards the north of the island. Finally, tourists return to their hotels.
