In the Babitonga Portal, visitors will find a vast array of enchanting contrasts at their disposal: from modern Joinville, with its Germanic culture and lively festivals, to São Francisco do Sul, a historical heritage site among the oldest cities in Brazil, featuring strong Portuguese influence and “caiçara” culture. The region also boasts both beautiful beaches—from Itapoá to Araquari—and the “Pantanal of the South,” as the river waters of Garuva that flow into the bay are known.

Babitonga Bay is the heart of this Portal, and the entire surrounding area depends on it. It shelters incredible biodiversity while welcoming thousands of visitors every year and supporting the activities of some of the most important ports in the country. The waters are the true spectacle of this Portal, whether on nautical tours through the bay or in the open sea, in the countless rivers that cross the plains, or at the surf “peaks” all along the coast.

This is a place with excellent infrastructure for visitors that meets all expectations—whether for relaxation, adventure, parties, sightseeing, or exploring local history and culture. Enchantment is always guaranteed, accompanied by a rich gastronomy to satisfy even the most demanding palates.
