💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors know to check the weather before flying: the Serra Catarinense sits at high elevation and can experience cold fronts, fog, and strong winds, so morning flights may face delays even when coastal Santa Catarina is clear.

Rental car services may be limited, so arrange one in advance if you need flexibility. Allow extra time in winter for fog or rain, which can slow the mountain roads.
