Many people who visit Santa Catarina look for more hidden corners, where they can escape the stressful routine of the city and the social pressure of large urban centers. O Rural Tourism attracts people who seek alternative leisure, which transmits peace, with bucolic and paradisiacal landscapes.
Rural Tourism in Florianopolis
In Florianópolis, visitors can take beautiful rides on horseback, getting to know the natural beauties in a different way.
The island offers some options for those looking for just one day trips. In the north of the island, for example, at the top of the hill, on the road that connects the Vargem Grande neighborhood to the Neighborhood Rio Vermelho, there are dirt paths, surrounded by century-old trees and green fields. To get there, you need to follow the general road to Vargem Grande and go ahead. The beautiful view that unfolds reproduces a paradisiacal setting, with deep valleys and few houses.
Rural Tourism in the Greater Florianópolis region
In the Greater Florianópolis region there are establishments that offer this type of leisure. Among the services offered by the majority are lodging, carriage and horse rides, waterfall baths, visits to stills, recreation and even fishing. Animal husbandry adds contact with the rural environment. Some of these locations:
- Pousada Recanto das Cachoeiras - Anitapolis (100 km from Florianopolis)
- Vila Equestre Training Center - São Pedro de Alcântara - (50 km from Florianopolis)
Rural Tourism in the Serra Catarinense
In the mountain region of Santa Catarina, located west of Florianópolis, there are numerous rural corners, with history preserved mainly on farms, fields and in the customs of the people of the region.
Among all these rural corners of Santa Catarina, the most prominent, without a doubt, is the Coxilha Rica Region (240 km from Florianópolis), a magnificent scenery of the Santa Catarina countryside.
Coxilha Rica, for more than two centuries, played an important role in the history of development of Brazil, in the period of tropeirismo (Colonial Brazil - XNUMXth to XNUMXth century). Due to its geographical position and the quality of its pastures, it was a route of passage and stopping point for drovers with their troops of mules and cattle.
The region offers an intense experience of rural life experience, both in farm hotels and on trails and horseback riding. To get to know the region, we recommend accommodation in Hotels in the Mountain Region of Santa Catarina, or the hiring of personalized tours in Serra Catarinense departing from Florianópolis, offered by tourism and tour agencies in Florianópolis.
