Full Day Blumenau Tour

Exit from Florianopolis along the scenic Green Valey of Itajai-Acu River on the way to Blumenau. Due to the influence of the early German settlers such as Fritz Muller and Dr. Hermann Brunno Otto Blumenau, the city is now a small piece of Germany in Brazil. In fact, Blumenau is home of the largest Oktoberfest outside Germany. Visit the Museum of Fritz Muller, the pharmacist and naturalist who studied the local fauna and flora while he kept close correspondence with Charles Darwin. His residence now is the museum where his private collection of local species is preserved. Stop for lunch (not included), after drive through the city and see the Biergarten where the Oktoberfest is held, as well the Mausoleum of Dr. Blumenau before stopping to visit the Glass Park, or Crystal Museum.

We will proceed to downtown for shopping, browsing through the city's commercial streets where the of the typical shops are located within a short walk from City Hall, built in typical Bavarian architecture, and the Saint Apostle Church, built in 1963. Return to Florianopolis.

Obs: Lunch not included
