Florianopolis received a lot of press in 2008 and the trend continues: this weekend Florianopolis is featured in the “44 Places to visit in 2009″ of the New York Times.
The article reads:
“As South American jet-set spots like Punta del Este in Uruguay lose their novelty, affluent Brazilians and in-the-know internationals have take the party to Florianopolis in the Southern reaches of Brazil. Caipirinha-soaked lounges, stylish beach bars and cavernous megaclubs have sprouted all over the island. Once a favored spot of the surf-world cognoscenti, Florianopolis, some 450 miles southwest of Rio de Janeiro, has emerged as Latin America’s hottes new party destination.”
