Being sub-tropical, both the landscape and the climate of the south are markedly different to the rest of tropical Brazil.
It is the region responsible for Brazil's fine wines and outstanding beef, the region where European influences mix with those of the 'Gaucho' and where in the 17th Century Jesuits built their missions alongside the settlements of the Guarani Indians. Attractions range from the Bavarian architecture of Blumenau to the picturesque railway of Parangua and from the spectacular falls at Foz do Iguacu to whale watching off the coast of Santa Catarina.
Ponta dos Ganchos is located less than an hour from Florianopolis, in Southern Brazil, in the lush foliage and on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean.
Located in a forest on the Atlantic coast south of Florianopolis, Pousada Vida Sol e Mar is perfectly situated to explore the area, enjoy the beach or spot the whales.
