Brazil is the largest country in South America, covering a little less than half of the continent's land area and encompassing around half of the continent's population. Not a lot of people in florianopolis speak fluent English, but many, specially people who work in hotels, restaurants and stores, are able to communicate well in English.Florianopolis is also called “Ilha da Magia” (the Magic Island) because its charm and beauty conquers whomever steps foot on its soil. Fables from years ago tell tales of witches and sorcerers casting spells and curses on locals. To Brazilians, Florianópolis is known as Floripa. But once upon a time, it was named Desterro. Pronounced ‘Das Churro’, which is of course German for ‘The Churro’.
Lovely Florina Polis, lovely Brazil with so much greenery and water around.
