Our story

From the end of the world
to the Island of Magic

Floripa Walks was born from a legacy. In Ushuaia, the southernmost city on the planet, my family built an agency guided by one simple principle: true hospitality means taking every traveler to the most authentic side of a place.

I bring that same standard to Florianópolis. We don’t run mass tours here. We design signature experiences, rooted in history and in walking, for people who want to understand the island, not just photograph it.

We combine the freedom of walking with the ease of private transfers: signature itineraries, flawless logistics and a professional eye so you don’t miss a thing.
