Nova Trento & Brusque Excursion

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 more than an hour's drive, we'll make our first stop in São João Batista, known for its over 150 shoe factories. Here, we'll visit a traditional market with local products.

Next, we proceed to Nova Trento, a municipality with significant Austrian, German, Polish, and Italian influence, stemming from 19th-century immigration. Around midday, we'll break for lunch at a typical Italian restaurant (lunch not included). Our first major site will be the Sanctuary of Santa Paulina, the first Brazilian saint, a prominent attraction in Santa Catarina.

Afterward, we will visit a vineyard to learn about wines from Nova Trento and a chocolate factory, discussing the unique aspects of these products.

Lastly, we’ll travel to Brusque, ideal for shopping, with a visit to FIP (Feira da Moda), featuring hundreds of stores. You’ll have about two hours of free time for shopping.
