Discover Florianópolis from the perfect vantage point — your bike! This is more than a ride; it’s a chance to see, feel, and taste the Island of Santa Catarina. We’ll meet at Park Bikes Floripa, where I’ll set up your bike, adjust your helmet, and share tips for a smooth ride. Then we’ll pedal through the heart of the city on an easy, flat 13 km route almost entirely on cycle paths, with just 90 meters of elevation — great for all levels and family-friendly.

At each stop, I’ll share stories that bring the city’s geography and history to life, and you’ll have time for great photos.

A perfect ending before returning to Park Bikes Floripa — full of new memories, flavors, and photos to treasure.
