THE ISLAND IS GREEN :) and other Florian&#243;polis, Brazil General Tips

Wild Florianopolis at Calhetas

trails!

Favorite Thing: Florianopolis is the capital of the bewildering State of Santa Catarina, when we think about a State Capital we think about a huge city, full of buildings and very busy...well you will get surprised, almost the whole island is absolutely surrounded by wild nature, some beaches like Mole, Calhetas or Mozambique are left exactly like the first portuguese colonizers saw them for the first time, and you can hear lots of pirates stories, the trails used by indians and explorers are still there!

Being in Florianopolis is like reaching a new land...It is like seeing brazil when it was not Brasil!

Florianopolis is a blessing island!

I have been there and I wish to go back as soon as possible!;)

Big bugs in a french nose!;) I LOVE

FRANCE, eh?

Favorite Thing: I finally reached Calhetas beach which for my surprise is a nude ebach and one of the ebst beaches in the island for surfers...Good combination I guess, nude people and surfers, hahahaa :) But I have seen no nude surfers! They belong to separated tribes. I surrendered the tempetation of swimming just like the indians used to do all over brazilian coast some hundred years ago, and I enjoyed myself in the water, not only in the sea, but in the little river springs too!

Anyway, I love climbing up rocks, and in one of my walkings I came across with a big nose, immediately I though it was a french one!

But no doubt it is a nose...do you agree????
