Top Florianopolis How to Get Around in 2026

The Brazilian Way of Santiago de Compostela brings together, in a single route of approximately 22 km, some of the most interesting landscapes and stories of northern Florianópolis. Along the way, we crossed four beaches, visited four churches, and hiked two trails in the Atlantic Forest, getting to know the communities, traditions, and aspects of the local culture. The difference lies in the interpretation of the natural, historical, and cultural heritage, led by specialized guides who share stories about the island's colonization, its fortresses, traditions, and legends. The experience combines the spirit of pilgrimage of the Camino de Santiago with the cultural identity of Florianópolis, in a walk that also invites reflection and contemplation.

This is a digital tour without a face-to-face guide. You do it alone, at your own pace, using our app, with geolocated maps and audio recorded by a local guide. Florianópolis also has samba!
