5 Neighborhoods You NEED to visit in Florianopolis

Great video!!!

Tucker do you have any opinions about Sao Joao do Rio Vermelho? The real estate prices seem reasonable, and I like the videos that I have watched about the Red Park neighborhood. Also, are there any areas close to the beach in Florianopolis that are more flood prone or are experiencing more than average beach erosion?

What good content about the island, brother! Very detailed and well-explained. I am a Campeche lover hahaha, the place is beautiful and it's structured in a way that you don't need to leave. You have everything there, bars, clubs, beaches, cafes, chill places, crowded places. Most importantly, it's one of the fastest-growing neighborhoods on the island, so it's moving to get better and better. Loved your video!

Nice video!

Visiting Floripa this Christmas, thank you for the recommendations!

Hey Tucker, I had commented on this video but for some reason it disappeared . I would like to retire in Floripa and love all the input on the different cities you mentioned. I'm originally from Barbados but live in the USA and Florianopolis intrigues me greatly.
My questions are - 1. How's the transportation without a car ? Is the food, vegetables and fruits affordable including dining out options. Is it the safest place in Brazil? I know that no place is perfect but hope it's not like Salvador or Rio. I'm seeking a beautiful,
humble, loving and friendly lady and for this question I welcome feedback from both your lovely girl and yourself. Thanks

We just got to Floripa 3 days ago. Very wet timing. Next week will hopefully be better.

Thank you Very much for your responses. This information will greatly help in conjunction with your other videos. I wish you continued success in your endeavors.

Thanks for this!👏🏿 Love the sounds of the baby in the background; too adorable!!😍

Best wishes , and thanks for the information .. is there any chance to get any contact information with you I actually need a lot of help am still fresh😂 and more information 😂

Do they have pharmacies? Because I have diabetes .

My girlfriend is Brazilian. We just moved back to the states from Thailand and had our first child. Planning to stay a month in Brazil next year. Will hit a lot of these places up. I appreciate the videos. They are helpful. I’m nervous traveling with my son. He will be 1 1/2 by then. Is it safe?

Any good neighborhoods you know of that are fairly cheap and walkable to the beach and close to trails? Close to a gym like Smartfit? My wife is Brazilian so we don't need to be in an expat catering area. Thanks. Great videos.

Just subscribed. I’m Brazilian and I’ve been living here in Minnesota for 27 years. I have plans to move down there in few years.

Tucker, we made it to Brasil for Christmas and we are currently enjoying lunch with family at the O Capitão restaurant in Piçarras.  We hope that you and your family are well and had a wonderful Feliz Natal and Feliz Ano Novo.  I applied for my CPF on Friday.  I am a little worried about how difficult it will be to return to Brasil after the new visa requirements go into affect.  I still have 6 years before Ivone and I can retire to Piçarras or Navagantes.

Are there many Expats there ? And do some locals speak
English , churches etc…

My daughter is getting married there in May. Thanks for the tips on where to stay.

Yes, this seems to be a peaceful, great city. Maybe I can move there one day. Greetings from Germany.b

Thanks a million for your positive feedback about my place... 🎉

😱👏👏👏👏👏👏

Thanks for sharing! Me (brazilian) and my husband (american) have been thinking about moving to Floripa from the US and your videos have been great source of information. Ia there any chance we could connect on a call/group chat to talk about life in Florianópolis? If you know any groups created for that purpose as well, just let me know. I’ve been trying to find Facebook groups as well. Thank you so much!!!

Great video. Thank you for sharing. I’ve just made the move to Florida and am currently staying in Campeche. A note about Campeche (or at at least Campeche Leste) is it is under the flight path so something to consider. While there are hills in the distance, I also find Campeche to be quite flat which I don’t love. Also a lot of the amenities are located on very loud, busy streets such as Pequeno Principal.

Novo Campeche to the north seems to be a bit more upscale and luxurious.

The cool thing about Campeche is not only does it have one of the best beaches, but it has immediate proximity to some of the other best beaches on the island such as Praia Joaquina/Mole/Galheta to the north and Armacao/Maduarado and lagoinha de leste to the south

I enjoyed staying in Canasvieras in the not the but I’ve found that that area basically gets conquered by tourists (and specifically Argentinians) in the summer time.

If you only have time to visit one beach in Floripa… my vote is Praia Mole 100%!

Two really good hotel recommendations:

1. Hotel Boutique Quinta das Vedras - Lagoa de Conceicao
2. Solar beach hotel - canasvieras


I’m available for anyone who has questions about Floripa!
