Discover the pure nature of the Serra do Catarinense with this excursion to Urubici & Serra do Rio do Rastro. We'll travel from Florianópolis to some of the country's greatest natural attractions.

Urubici & Serra do Río do Rastro Excursion

We'll pick you up at 7:10 am at your hotel in Florianópolis and head to Serra do Rio do Rastro, at 4,757 feet (1,450 meters) above sea level. From its viewpoint, we'll enjoy the landscapes of the mountain range while learning about the flora of the area. After some free time to eat, we'll continue to Urubici.

On the way, we'll visit the Barrinha waterfall and an apple farm, with a half-hour stop for exploration. Upon reaching Urubici, we'll explore a town surrounded by mountains, appreciating its natural beauty formed by canyons, valleys, and megalithic monuments. We will visit the Matriz Church, noting its cross-shaped floor plan and the town's historical context, including its founding by Jesuits in search of gold. Afterward, you'll have free time for lunch.

Throughout the excursion, we will also visit the grotto of Nossa Senhora de Lourdes and the Serra do Corvo Branco mountain range. After the day’s activities, we'll return to Florianópolis, concluding the tour around 8 pm.
