São Joaquim Tours & Activities | Discover Serra Catarinense

Nestled in the heart of Brazil's southern highlands, São Joaquim is a charming mountain town renowned for its cool climate, lush apple orchards, and picturesque landscapes. Visitors are often captivated by its rolling hills, unique local culture, and the refreshing air that makes it a perfect escape from the tropical heat found elsewhere in the country.

A Glimpse into the Past

Originally settled by Portuguese immigrants in the 19th century, São Joaquim grew into a vital hub for agriculture and livestock. Over the years, it became especially famous for apple production, shaping the local economy and traditions. Today, traces of its colonial heritage can be seen in the architecture and customs that locals proudly preserve.

When Is the Best Time to Visit?

If you love crisp mountain air and vibrant festivals, plan your visit during the apple harvest season from March to May. For those keen on seeing a touch of frost—or even rare snowfall—the winter months from June to August offer a magical experience that's unlike anywhere else in Brazil.

Is snow common in this region?

Snow is a rare event in Brazil, but São Joaquim is one of the few places where you might see it, especially during July and August. While not guaranteed every year, the chilly weather is always a highlight for visitors.
