About this experience

This is an opportunity not just to see the Island of Santa Catarina but to feel it and taste it!
We will meet at Bike To Go, a Bike rental shop. I will help you set up your bike and give you general instructions. Once on our bikes, we will get to know the geography and history of the central region of Florianópolis. The 22 kilometers of the route are almost entirely on cycle routes and it is quite flat, with a total elevation of only 137 meters. The path is easy and safe, even more so when traveled in a group and guided by a professional, but if you feel you need a little help we offer electric bikes for an extra price.
We will make 6 stops along the way for geographic and historical contextualization, but at any time participants can interact with me and ask questions. At the end of the tour, in Bar do Ori, I will reccomend you the best bars and restaurants in town.

This park is the perfect place to breathe fresh air in the middle of the city's hustle and bustle. It is also where we can have a quick picnic to try brazilian nuts, drinks and snacks.
