We'll pick you up at your hotel in Florianópolis early in the morning and head towards the northern part of the state of Santa Catarina. After a little more than an hour's drive, we'll make our first stop in São João Batista. This town is known for having more than 150 shoe factories! We'll visit a traditional market with local products.

We'll then continue our trip to Nova Trento, notable for its Austrian, German, Polish, and Italian influences from 19th-century immigration. Around midday, we'll break for lunch at a typical Italian restaurant (lunch not included).
