Hotels in South of Brazil, Brazil

South Brazil covers Paraná, Santa Catarina, and Rio Grande do Sul, with a subtropical climate that brings crisp winters (averaging 41°F/5°C in the mountains) and warm summers (up to 86°F/30°C on the coast). It's famous for the thundering Iguazu Falls and European-style towns like Gramado, where you can taste wine in the Serra Gaúcha vineyards. In winter, ski at São Joaquim's snow-covered slopes, then come summer, surf the Atlantic waves at Florianópolis' beaches-or visit Iguazu in spring (September-November) for fewer crowds and mild temperatures around 68°F/20°C.
