Fun in Brazil
With a land mass larger than the whole Western Europe, Brazil's sheer size is daunting and it is vital to bear this in mind when planning an itinerary. SurfinBrazil.com will take you to State of Santa Catarina in the South of Brazil, specifically the island of Florianópolis.
Floripa is also the capital of the State of Santa Catarina, and it is dually located with part of the city on the mainland and the other half on the island; both parts linked by the longest suspension bridge in Brazil.
The city of Florianópolis is a busy commercial center, with most of the industry on the mainland side of the city and most of the living, or bedroom section being on the island side of the city. The city's industries produce metallurgical and electrical communications equipment, pharmaceuticals, plastics, and perfume. The island section of the city is the more pleasant half of the city with tree lined streets, interesting architecture and a colonial section of note.
