If I could take a permanent or long-term vacation, it would be in Florianopolis Brazil. I've traveled all over the world, mostly to tropical places, and with all things considered, Florianopolis Brazil takes first place in my list of favorite travel destinations in the world.

Florianopolis (mostly a large island) is the city capitol of Santa Catarina state in south Brazil. It has rolling hills and mountains covered in lush green jungles & forest. Florianopolis is the safest city in Brazil and is mostly a large island that resides just off the coast but is connected to the continent by a bridge.

FLORIANOPOLIS BEACHES

Florianopolis Island has 42 beautiful beaches with some of the best surf in Brazil. It is also home to the most beautiful women in Brazil and some of the best nightlife in South America so you can see how the qualities of this amazing place are coming together, especially for young singles looking for an action-packed vacation.

The beaches in Florianopolis are simply amazing. Brazil's environmental laws prohibit building within 100 yards of the beach so most of the beaches are surrounded by lush jungle, making nearly every beach very beautiful and similar in appearance to beaches in Costa Rica. On just about every popular beach, you'll find at least one restaurant on the sand that doubles as a bar. In high season (mid December through February) the beach bars will usually have DJs spinning all day. At about 2 pm, people will gather at the bars and the party will intensify with dancing and drinking until dark. Once the sun goes down, people head home and prepare for the nightlife.

FLORIANOPOLIS NIGHTLIFE

In Brazil, people don't start going out until midnight, which works out great for Americans who are used to getting a much earlier start. This means it's easy to beat the crowd in high season, where lines to enter a nightclub can be a 50-100 yards long after midnight. Unlike nightclubs in the USA (where the beautiful women walk right past the line), Brazil has so many beautiful women, they get no special treatment here and have to stand in line with everyone else. And since Florianopolis is mostly women, naturally the lines at the nightclubs are also mostly women. It's an unusually pleasant sight for any tourist to see.

FLORIANOPOLIS VACATION

Ok, so the bottom line is this... If you're looking for a combination of adventure activities, such as surfing, sunbathing, fishing, sight seeing, river rafting, paragliding, sand boarding, woman chasing, and some of the best nightlife in South America, then without a doubt, Florianopolis Brazil is a vacation destination you've got to check out. Here you'll find all the best of Brazil rolled into a single, beautiful, subtropical island location.
