High plateaus, escarpments, waterfalls and cold-weather culture complete the mountain route across southern Santa Catarina.
Why this place
Urubici is one of the best bases for exploring the Serra Catarinense. Morro da Igreja, Pedra Furada, Avencal, highland roads, rock inscriptions and rural food create a landscape-driven stay very different from the coast. More importantly for the Brasilll network, Urubici turns Florianópolis and Aparados da Serra into a coherent mountain road trip rather than separate destinations.

High plateaus, escarpments, waterfalls and cold-weather culture complete the mountain route across southern Santa Catarina.
Excellent for mountain scenery, road trips, hiking, photography, cool weather, couples and travellers connecting Florianópolis with the southern canyons.
Mountain weather changes quickly and some viewpoints or protected areas can require reservations or have temporary access restrictions. A car is highly useful and winter conditions can be genuinely cold.
The same 0–10 scale is used across the catalogue, so strengths and compromises stay comparable.
Season matters. These monthly scores combine our current baseline for climate, access and overall travel fit.
Brasilll
We recommend 4–5 nights for most travellers. That gives the destination enough room to deliver its defining experiences without stretching the stay beyond the useful 7-night range.
