Adventure Holidays in Brazil
Everyone knows that Brazil is an exotic destination, with palm-fringed beaches and an exuberant, sensual environment.
But very few know that Brazil is South America’s premier location for climbing and adventure travel. And within Brazil, no spot is better suited to the adventure traveller than the magic island of Florianopolis. The Brazilian tourism ministry EMBRATUR had identified Florianopolis as the principal destination of foreign adventure tourists. And it’s clear why. It is safe, relatively inexpensive, and has infinity of options for the adventurer.
Florianopolis offers the best mix of climbing, both traditional and boulder, (levels 5.6 to 5.14), as well as rafting, (classes IV and V) free flight, and trekking on innumerable trails. The 100 plus bolted routes offer breathtaking views of the city and the ocean. And Florianopolis is a short jaunt to Brazil’s incredible Green Canyons, with 1000 meter climbs and spectacular water-fall rappels.
Even better, Florianopolis is, on average, 30 to 40 per cent less expensive than other Brazilian destinations like Rio or Iguasu. Planit Brazil is offering a specially priced Brazilian Summer Package. US$1082 covers seven days of adventure, double room accommodations with a huge breakfast, and the costs of the climbs, rafting, paragliding, trekking, horseback riding and more. Better yet, if you form a group of four people, the fourth is absolutely free. Posted 10/12/09 - - Multi-Activity, Florianopolis
