After some serious adventures in Rio we hopped a plane to a little island called Florianopolis. Quite a change in scenery and attitude from our previous locations..

We found this cool little hotel in the south part of the island. We started early in the AM on a little hike to a beach that is locally known as the last virgin beach in Brazil. No roads and only ways in. A 2 hour hike through dense jungle and around steep cliff faces or an hours hike straight up over a mountain through mud and rocks.. Michelle, who I'm finding to be a bit more adventurous than I decide to try both ways: There through the jungle and back over the mountain.

Needless to say from the photos it was quite an adventure with great reward.

We followed it by some frolicking through the town and sampling the local Cachaça!!

Since there are so many great shots I posted them on Flickr:
