A destination worth knowing. - A destination worth knowing. Balneario Camboriu is very safe, the beaches are beautiful, the people are very friendly and the gastronomy is spectacular. Visit El Farol, buy coffee at Garibaldi, breakfast at Tuti's Pao. The surroundings are fabulous. The Oktoberfest in Blumenau, the German tradition in Pomerode or the great annual duck festival in Bruque. 150% recommended. From Chile to Florianópolis there is a direct flight. From there, 1 hour of travel and you have arrived at the fabulous beaches of Balneario.

Sensational tour! - The Germanic tour exceeded my expectations!
The trip was sensational, as both the driver Fábio and the guide Edna are wonderful people and extremely friendly.
I came back knowing a lot about the two cities of Pomerode and Blumenau, as Fábio told the stories in an extremely entertaining way.
Guys, the cuisine in both cities is excellent, the best part, the chocolate parade! Hahahah
And Edna really helps with the photos, so don't worry.
Perfect tour!
