The Porto Alegre Public Market, established in 1869, is a historic landmark featuring over 100 vendors offering a wide array of goods such as crafts, produce, snacks, and plants. It's a must-visit destination in the city along with other attractions like the Usina do Gasometro cultural center and scenic spots like Marinha do Brasil Park and Farroupilha Park. The market is known for its Brazilian food and crafts.
Lovely old fashion building done in the format of many european markets with lots of well stocked stalls from the mundane to great delicatessen. Worth a visit plus make sure after this you walk towards the river where you can take catamara to Barra Shopping or to Guati for just over 10R or else an hour trip looking at all tourist sights with a different company for 30R cash or 35 if you pay with credit card. Either worth making the time to do as gives you a unique perspective of this gorgeous clean air city.

Old building very not well taken care of. There are independent fish markets (complete with the authentic Yelling) and health food stores, but the rest is mediocre cafes, overpriced sit down food, mediocre padarias, insanity of panhandling and graffiti outside. Only reason I would come back is if- IF- I wanted fish from the fishmonger, Cafe do Mercado (also exists praia de belas) or Temakieria.

I can't believe I lived in Porto Alegre for 3 years before visiting this jewel! Come here first if you're looking for artesenal gifts or souvenirs that are unique and truly reflect Porto Alegre. It's also a great place just to pass the day. Lot's to see, tons of restaurant options, clearly a popular spot in the city, for shopping, walking, running, or just getting some air.
Stephanie F — Google review
It's a beautiful and quite big park. Locals love to go on weekends and I would recommend to tourist do the same. The park is fun this days when is full of people, but can be quite dangerous the other days of the week. Here you can be robbed even with violence, so try to not go alone. Same applies to the city in general. Try to stay just were is other people and you will see just the nicer face of the city.

It may be because I am comparing this shopping centre to the ones in Australia, but it is quite small. I’d say there are enough shops to cover the basics of what you would need, but I expected a lot more clothing stores. Food stores don’t open until close to lunch and if you are English speaking and don’t know much Portuguese, make sure to have google translate ready, as almost no one speaks English. Not a big deal though! Staff were more than happy to converse using the google translate app.

Zoo
Zoos & Aquariums
Gramado Zoo is a must-visit destination for an interactive and fun-filled experience with Brazilian animals. The zoo offers displays that replicate natural habitats, providing visitors with a unique opportunity to observe the country's diverse wildlife. It is a family-friendly place that stands out from other attractions in Gramado and Canela, offering an authentic encounter with the local fauna at a reasonable price. While some animals appear content in their environments, there are suggestions for improvements to provide larger spaces for certain species.
Best zoo experience of my life. I'm from Kansas EUA and I enjoyed seeing the native animals. They were very active the day we were there!
Rylan K — Google review
Nice zoo around the area that offers you something different than what is around Gramado/Canela for a good price compared to the rest. Most animals look happy, however, some others looked bored to be in a very small and limited area, like some monkeys, owls, felines. I’d love to see them in a bigger area. On the other side, birds looked happy and people are able to feed them paying 5.00 Reais extra at the end of the visit. The food court is nice, they have local food options like sugar cane juice and ice cream with flavors from the region. I’d visit it again and hope that they make some areas bigger for animals since they can’t go back to the wild. I enjoyed my visit.
Daniel P — Google review
One of the best zoos I've ever been too. If you're planning on going to Gramado, visit this amazing place.
Mia F — Google review
I visited this zoo 5 years ago and am very sad to see the poor maintenance and state this place has become now. At least 50% of cages and areas have their animals missing. Tried to reserve a vip visit 24 hours before visiting and had no online or telephone reply. When arrived we were offered a wheelchair instead of a guided electrical cart, to find out that most areas are NOT wheel chair accessible. Food offered at the premises like “natural fruit juices” are expensive and the only “natural” is that they are 80% water!!! In resuming, a very poor customer service experience, not worth the entrance + parking fee. Very deteriorated no maintenance premises….seems to be running out of maintenance funds. A frustrating day in what was supposed to be a nice experience for my 18 year old niece coming back from cancer.

The animals are great and the zoo is well kept but the ticket is expensive costing 60 reais per adult. To make matters worse they charge 10 reais for visitors for parking and another 10 reais if you want To use a stroller. It is absurd that the zoo won't offer these items to customers being that the entry ticket is already high. They have a huge empty parking area! Not recommended!

Sopaipilla — Google review
This park is for the rich, not for normal people, to whom it should be accessible! The greed is disgusting. With all the taxes wasted in Brazil, there was not money left to make national heritage accesible to the general public? Whoever is responsible for this absurd entrance fee and commercial industrialization of national heritage should be ashamed, and the state lawmakers should do something. In Rio de Janerio, National Parques are for free. Poor or rich, anyone can enter for free. In Rio Grande do Sul, all parks are difficult to enter (registration processes for national forests are stupidly beaurocratic, and extreme fees for national parks). Its beyond absurd, especially considering how much nature has been destroyed. Never seen anything like in Rio Grande do Sul before. Not in Brazil and not in any other country. Basically no forest or park where people can just go for free without paying fees or registrating 3 days in advance through beaurocratic application forms, having to wait for approval. Absurd and unjust. Its a disgrace!

Itaimbezinho is the most visited canyon in the region, located in the Aparados da Serra National Park, just 18 km from Cambara do Sul.

The 3.5km walk to see the canyon exit is highly recommended for its impressive landscape, making it a great destination for families.
The canyons park is good. The 3.5km walk to see the canyon exit is very good, and the landscape is very impressive. Good to go with your family. Remember to get a jacket before to go: the weather changes quickly.

The most beautiful part of this place is the nature. Therefore there's no have safe structure for your children or pets. There's no signals or posts of directions on the road. The road that we used was very straight. But, I have a good point to explain: the view is exciting! And there's a lot of plant types. You'll take a lot of photos on end of the day, when the sun is running away.

Magnificent Place. Worth every jolt of the 20+20 km of dust road. Go to the old house at the end of the short trail, drink a coffee and get in touch with the resident.

Canion Malacara

Mentioned on

Park
Canyons
Nestled within the Parque Nacional da Serra Geral, Canion Malacara offers a refreshing escape with its crystalline natural pools. Located just 5 km from Praia Grande in Santa Catarina, this hidden gem is less frequented than other canyons in the area, making it an ideal spot for those seeking a unique experience. The 3.
If you have experience with simple trails you dont need to go with a guide. BUT. you need a good gps. I used the garmin 66sr NOT a phone gps. There is no signal. Its hard to find the trail sometimes, especially when crossing the river. Snake protection is recommended and dont touch anything. Go long sleeved, and with long pants, vegetation is dense. Families or non biologists, I strongly recommend a guide. especially if there is rain its dangerous quickly so you need to be able to ‚read‘ the sky and weatherforcast.

(Translated by Google) In June 2018, Malacara Canyon was not allowed to be visited from above, so we did the trail from below and it was great, accompanied by the guide Giovani Bitencourt, as it is not allowed to do it without a guide, and he guided us very well. Since it is dry season, most of the trail is through rocks. At the end of the trail there is a pool and I couldn't resist... I loved seeing the canyon in the lower part by Praia Grande. (Original) O cânion Malacara, em jun/2018, não estava liberado para ser visitado de cima, então fizemos a trilha por baixo e foi muito boa, acompanhados pelo guia Giovani Bitencourt, pois não é permitido fazer sem guia, e ele nos orientou muito bem. Por estar na seca grande parte da trilha é pelas pedras. No final da trilha tem uma piscina e não resisti... Adorei ver i cânion na parte baixa por Praia Grande.

(Translated by Google) For those who are used to hiking, it is an easy level. But you need to go with a guide. And you cannot camp. It is a peaceful place and for those who are going to do the Rio do Boi, I recommend doing it first. I really liked it. It is possible to do it in half a day. Just don't do it if there is an imminent forecast of rain. (Original) Para quem é acostumado com trilhas é nível fácil. Mas necessário entrar com guia. E não pode acampar. Lugar tranquilo e para quem for fazer o rio do boi eu recomendo fazer está antes. Gostei bastante. Possível fazer em meio dia. Apenas não pode fazer com previsão eminente de chuva

(Translated by Google) Anyone who visits the beautiful city of Nova Veneza in Santa Catarina and passes through Humberto Bortolotto square cannot help but notice a beautiful gondola, which is a typical boat from the city of Venice in Italy and is used to transport people through the canals of Venice. The boat was donated by the province of Venice itself and symbolizes the link that the municipality has with the country of origin of the city's first colonizers. The boat has an elongated wooden structure, painted black with an asymmetrical shape to allow propulsion and maneuvers with the use of a single oar, installed at the stern and supported by a wooden fitting. It has a flat bottom, sharp, elevated ends that project forward. It is 11 meters long and weighs approximately 650 kilos. The interesting thing is that besides this unit in Nova Veneza, there are only three other legitimate gondolas outside of Italy, in the United States, Canada and Switzerland. The vessel is sheltered in a small artificial lake open to the public and although it is not used for tours, tourists and visitors can board the gondola, sit down and take beautiful photos, and during every day, including weekends, employees dressed in a characteristic way, serve visitors who arrive at the site. (Original) Quem visita a bela cidade de Nova Veneza em Santa Catarina e passa pela praça Humberto Bortolotto, não pode deixar de notar uma linda gôndola, que se constitui em uma embarcação típica da cidade de Veneza na Itália e que é utilizada para transporte de pessoas através dos canais de Veneza. A embarcação foi doada pela própria província de Veneza e simboliza o elo que o município tem com o país de origem dos primeiros colonizadores da cidade, a embarcação  possui uma estrutura de madeira em forma alongada, pintada na cor preta com forma assimétrica para permitir propulsão e manobras com o uso de um remo único, instalado na popa e apoiado em um encaixe de madeira, possui fundo chato, extremidades acentuadas, elevadas e projetadas para frente, possui 11 metros de comprimento e cerca de 650 quilos. A curiosidade é que além dessa unidade de Nova Veneza, existem apenas outras três gôndolas legítimas fora da Itália, nos Estados Unidos, Canadá e Suíça, a embarcação fica abrigada em um pequeno lago artificial aberto para visitação pública e embora não seja utilizada para passeios, os turistas e visitantes podem embarcar na gôndola, sentar e fazer belas foto, sendo que  durante todos os dias, inclusive nos finais de semana, funcionários vestidos de forma característica, atendem os visitantes que chegam ao local.

Hiking area
Farol de Santa Marta is a picturesque whitewashed lighthouse located amidst beaches and sand dunes, offering stunning views and photo opportunities from its summit. The well-maintained antique structure, once powered by whale oil, stands out with its bright white paint. Accessible via a relatively easy trail that meanders through blooming flowers and fluttering butterflies in the summer, this location also attracts birdwatchers due to the diverse bird species flying around the area.
Very nice place to visit, you have to hike a little to get tp the top but overall the view is amazing 👏.
Alexander A — Google review
Spectacular view from the top of the hill where the lighthouse sits. You have to park your car on the street and walk up a trail to the top of the hill , but it’s and extremely easy walk without too much inclination. It was summer when we went, so flowers were blooming and butterflies where hovering all around. This is a fascinating location for birdwatchers given the variety of birds flying around the trail. Once at the top of the hill and facing north, there’s is a stunning view of an old cemetery overlooking the ocean and a sand dune covered beach. Facing west, you are directly about the beach and town of Santa Marta. And East, is obviously an open view of the ocean crashing upon rocks. The lighthouse was closed, but even so, the view is worth the short hike up.

An antique lighthouse that long ago functioned with whale oil. Beautiful and well-maintained, with bright white paint. The reason I only gave 4 stars was due to faulty directions, Google deposited us next to a cemetery. A couple of locals told us we could get to the lighthouse from there, and we found a section of fence missing and a small footpath twisting among cactus and tall grasses and weeds. Once we arrived at the lighthouse we pivoted and saw a sign behind us warning that venomous snakes were in that area. The area we had just crossed. Now we had a snake-infested field between us and 12-yr-old and our car. We couldn't shout a warning to our kid because of the wind and waves, but fortunately he didn't try to follow us. Anyway, I'm going to try to suggest a different route, but if you end up next to a cemetery, don't walk through the plants to get to the lighthouse!

Lagoinha do Leste Beach is a remote and stunning natural haven located in Florianopolis, Brazil. Accessible only by foot or boat, this hidden gem is nestled between two mountains and designated as a nature conservation site. A two-hour trek through rugged rainforest leads to warm lagoons and a pristine stretch of golden sand beach.
Beautiful place! Because you can't get there by car (as far as I know), you have to hike there in a trail. That's also the reason why the beach is not crowded at all. The view from the trails is amazing. If you like nature, you'll certainly like the place. If you're planing to stay for a while, take some water with you and some block, also don't trash this beautiful place.

A beautiful, untouched beach with barely anyone due to the difficulty of getting there. We took the 3h trek from Praia do Armacao and it was a difficult hike, but so worth it for the views on sunny days like these. The trek out to Pantana do Sul took us about 1.5h but the path was way better than the one from Armacao.

It’s a paradise. The hike is not too complicated, you gotta do it in your own pace, taking the yellow signed road half way is the choice to go to the top (morro da coroia) and take great pics. It’s worth every minute! The water is clean and not cold at old.

Excellent beach. It has no structure or buildings. Very natural. The difficult access makes it harder to be overcrowded, but it's definitely worth it. The sea and the lagoon is amazing, and you can even swim with the fish. Be sure to be in great shape. Don't leave your trash behind.

I believe this is the most secluded beach I’ve ever been. To get there you have 2 options. First, you go to Armação beach then cross the river if low tide or the bridge to go to Matadeiro beach. Once you arrive in matadeiro walk to the very end and you will find a track that leads you to Lagoinha. Take plenty of water and food because it’s a long hike, approximately 2 hours. Second option is to take a bus from armação to Pântano do Sul and there is another track that leads you to Lagoinha do Leste Beach which is much shorter, around an hour hiking.

Matadeiro Beach is a secluded sandy beach accessible by foot via a bridge and trail. The hike can be started from Pantano do Sul or Matadeiro, leading through the Atlantic rainforest along a cliff. The beach offers stunning natural scenery with rock cliffs, green hills, a freshwater lagoon for swimming, and emerald ocean for surfing. Accessing the beach requires navigating through Praia da Armacao and crossing a bridge or walking during low tide.
Probably it will be my favourite beach in Florianopolis. Just wonderful... btw folks take your trash with you when you leave. Let's keep the beach free of trash. ;)

Definitely my favorite beach on the island. Insane views, amazing waters and really good waves for surfing beginners!

Great beach overall. Access is made by a small and easy hiking walkway. It is a good spot for surfers, as waves are frequent and the beach isn't cramped with people casually swimming. It has no exit at its southern end besides the start of the hiking trail. It has some small restaurants through its course.

It's a beautiful and selective beach since it's only accessible through a trail. You can find good local restaurants during the high season. In June - July you can watch and hear the whales. It's awesome.

Very tricky to reach. Don't recomend for disable people or kids. But it's beautiful. It has trees so you don't necessarily need an umbrella

One of my favourite beaches in Florianopolis- amazing blue water and a great vibe on the beach. Really peaceful and good atmosphere- there is a bar on the beach which is quite cool
