Every year, between June and November, the Southern Coast of Santa Catarina becomes the stage for an amazing natural spectacle, with the arrival of the Southern Right Whales. Escaping the Antarctic winter, they migrate north in search of warmer and calmer waters for reproduction and nurturing of their young calves. In the small, half-moon shaped bays of Santa Catarina, they come very close to the shore and in clear days they can be seen from your hotel room or the beachfront. The boat trips, though, are a must for a close encounter with these giant mammals.
In the nearby historical town of Laguna you will meet the famous dolphins that for generations help the local fishermen catch their fish.
