Florianópolis Nature & Parks

Florianópolis features a diverse range of coastal ecosystems, from the expansive saltwater Lagoa da Conceição to the freshwater Lagoa do Peri. Protected areas like the Rio Vermelho State Park and Carijós Ecological Station preserve native restinga vegetation and mangroves. The island's geography is defined by the North and South Bays, while the interior offers Atlantic Forest trails leading to waterfalls and secluded spots like Lagoinha do Leste. Urban green spaces include the historic Praça XV de Novembro, home to a landmark century-old fig tree.
