During the Tiradentes holiday, the city of Santa Catarina becomes one of the most popular destinations on the coast. But, while the traditional itineraries highlight the central and busy beaches, there is another side that many still do not know: that of local experiences, tranquility and true connection with nature and regional culture.
This guide presents four authentic experiences to escape the obvious and enjoy the holiday in a lighter and more memorable way. In the end, you will also find out why this piece of the coast is considered one of the most promising for those looking to invest with quality of life.
Why does the destination attract so many visitors on holidays?
With more than 120 thousand people and 90% of the hotel network occupied, the city is undoubtedly one of the most valued points in Santa Catarina. Still, even in high season, it is possible to find preserved corners, almost secret trails, family cuisine and moments of silence by the sea.
Safety
It is considered one of the safest cities on the coast of Santa Catarina, including during holidays and high season. Even with the increase in the flow of visitors, access control by only two entrances facilitates the organization of traffic and the performance of public security.
The reinforced presence of the Military Police on the streets, beaches and tourist attractions ensures a peaceful environment for those who want to enjoy their days off with their family. Tourists circulate freely, whether on walks, trails or outdoor walks, with the tranquility of being in a city that prioritizes collective well-being.
