Florianópolis, Brazil in $410s-$510s RT

We love Brazil here at JFC. The only problem is that the deals almost always go to either São Paulo or Rio. Both great cities, but where's the variety?

So we're thrilled to see a deal to Florianópolis! This spot in Southern Brazil is made up of an island and a peninsula, which means TONS of beaches. Think white sands, turquoise water, mangove lagoons, and lush coastal hiking trails, plus a major surf hub.

And because "Floripa" gets overshadowed by its big city siblings, it's waaayyy calmer and quieter than you'd expect from Brazil. If you long for those iconic landscapes but shudder at the thought of crowds, this is your destination :-)
