Camping e Hospedagem Sítio Sol Nascente

The beaches of Floripa sum up the three-in-one character of the place: chic and smart in the north, a bit hippy and handpainted in the middle, wild and quiet on the southern tip. There’s top surfing and windsurfing to be had at Cachoeira do Bom Jesus and Ingleses near the site, as well as down at the laidback Conceição lagoon, half an hour away. The lagoon is also home to the Rio Vermelho nature reserve, a rainforest area where you might see capuchin monkeys and crab-eating foxes as you wander the trails. An hour from the site, the scenery starts to change as you enter the Serra do Tabuleiro State Park, a mountainous but walkable subtropical rainforest thick with vines, ending in deserted coves of white sand and blue waters. Nature is very much in charge out here: catch a boat over to Campeche island (from the town of the same name, 50 minutes' drive from site), and they’ll warn you about monkeys stealing backpacks. For a spot of city sophistication, the buzzing capital is half an hour away, with museums and galleries and UNESCO status as a Creative City of Gastronomy: dining options are here aplenty, from the little bars where you wash down a just-shucked oyster with a glass of beer.
