Circuits Hotels Excursions

Florianópolis, capital of Santa Catarina, spreads across an island and mainland in Brazil's south, with more than forty beaches ranging from calm bays to Atlantic surf. It combines beach resorts, lagoon-side dining around Lagoa da Conceição and a mild, European-influenced regional culture. A leading domestic summer destination, it also draws Argentine and regional visitors and works as a southern beach base distinct from the tropical Northeast.

Destination guide for the trade

When to go

Southern-hemisphere seasonality is pronounced. Summer (December–March) is warm, sunny and busy, the prime beach window and peak season. Spring and autumn are pleasant and quieter, while winter (June–August) is cool and better suited to touring than swimming.

MICE & groups

Florianópolis handles incentives and mid-sized congresses, with a convention centre (CentroSul) and resort hotels concentrated on the north of the island. It suits incentive groups and regional conventions, particularly outside the crowded high summer.

Incentives

Signature rewards include beach-club days at Jurerê Internacional, boat trips to Santo Antônio de Lisboa and island beaches, seafood and oyster tastings, and surf or sailing sessions. The island setting supports relaxed, active incentive programmes.

Access & logistics

Hercílio Luz International (FLN) connects mainly through São Paulo, Rio and other Brazilian hubs, with regional international flights including seasonal Argentine services. The airport sits on the island, roughly 12–15 km from the main beach zones, with transfers of 30–50 minutes depending on the resort.

Trade notes

Two to four nights suit a beach stay. Florianópolis anchors southern Brazil itineraries and combines with Iguaçu and the Serra Gaúcha wine country. Strongest fit for Argentine, southern-cone and domestic markets, with summer as the key season.

North-island beaches (Jurerê, Canasvieiras) are the main resort zone.

Booking & policies

Are the prices shown net or retail?

Rates are net (wholesale) and reserved for travel agencies and tour operators, who sign in to see them and add their own margin. Public visitors see an indicative retail “from” price; the net rate is never shown outside the agency portal.

How is a booking confirmed?

Most bookings are confirmed immediately and the voucher is emailed within minutes. When a service shows “In process”, RUMBO LIBRE is confirming final availability with the receptive operator at destination — usually within 24 to 48 business hours.

What is the cancellation policy?

Cancellations follow Clause 7 of the Terms: more than 30 days before the service, no penalty and a full refund; 15 to 30 days, 25%; 8 to 14 days, 50%; 3 to 7 days, 75%; less than 72 hours before commencement or a no-show, 100%. Certain destinations — Patagonia, the Amazon region and high-demand dates in peak season — apply stricter terms, stated in the quotation. The schedule above is indicative: the conditions that apply to each booking are those confirmed in the quotation, and may be stricter in high season, on public holidays or where a supplier applies its own policy.

Can dates or passenger names be changed after confirmation?

Amendment requests must reach RUMBO LIBRE at least 72 business hours before the service begins. Changes are managed with the receptive operator subject to availability, and any resulting rate difference applies. For private services, a name change may require re-issuing the booking at the current rate.
