Tips by GUSTAVO VIVACQUA

1. In the summer the city is crowded with Argentineans, Uruguayans and Paraguayans. Get ready to speak spanish.  

2. A ride in the cable car is worthwhile. The panoramic view is very good. 

3. The city has an agitated night life with a lot of leisure options, but even so it is worthwhile to spend one night in Piçarras, a neighboring city. 

4. If you have the time, visit Florianópolis, that is nearby awesome. 

5. In the summer, the city car traffic is unbearable. 

6. A boat ride to Praia das Laranjeiras is worthwhile 

7. If you're not by car, use the Bondidinho, an adapted bus that crosses the whole border. 

8. The calmer beaches are to the south of the city. 

9. "To the municipal district of Camboriu (after the br-101 highway) there is an access  (not very easy) to a lot of waterfalls, just the local residents can indicate the trails to arrive  to the 4 waterfalls." tip from Doug.saw  

10. "Hi, for who is keen on surfing and don't care for the agitated nightlife of Camboriú, it is worthwhile to check the "luais" (beachy night party) and bars in Itajaí Praia Brava. Rggae, forró and a lot of flirting with those great surf women. It is a tip for a relaxed trip.  A hug for you and congratulations for the effort of "Cool tips." tip from Rafael Lessa Curitiba – PR
