Revel in the seaside allure of Balneario Camboriu, a gleaming resort town popular with Brazil’s jet-setters. Stroll along nearly four miles of uninterrupted beachfront or, even better, admire the sandy bay from a panoramic cable car. Approximately an hour south, Florianopolis unveils its Portuguese influence in the grand, beautifully preserved buildings dotting the city’s 18th-century historic heart. Meanwhile, an unexpected yet enchanting surprise awaits in Blumenau, an authentic German town seemingly accidentally dropped into the lush Brazilian landscape. Founded in 1850 by an immigrant from Saxony, the storybook houses, Bavarian specialties and beer gardens will transport you to the Old World.
