Is Santa Catarina the best State in Brazil? 

I haven’t been to all the States in Brazil but I have been to a few. Santa Catarina is beautiful and is also very European in feel and culture. It’s also one of the safest places to live in Brazil. It all depends what you’re looking for. The Northeast has beautiful areas as well as the Interior and the Southeast.

In my country , Greece we have a great naval history and still the third bigger merchant fleet in the world. One day I asked a sailor I met an inspired question. I asked him which place , apart from Greece, from all the places he travelled he liked the most and would happily live in. His answer was instant : with no doubt Santa Catarina, Brazil. I hope to go there one day...😊

I was born and live in Santa Catarina, I can say that our state is a paradise, I'm so proud of my culture and my people. You can visit Serra do Rio do Rastro, the mountains in the southern part of the state. SC is not only about beaches and summer ❤❤ nice video!

Very informative. Our plan is to move to Curitiba in a little over a year. You have reinforced what we have already concluded living in Oregon. We plan on paying cash for a high rise apartment and also cash for car. Our budget will be about 4K (dollars)/month. Investment is another good question, but that is for another day. You failed to mention how good the MEAT is!! Especially in your neck of the woods in RGS!! My wife like yours is Brazilian and we have been married for over 20 years. We have a registered marriage certificate there which should help. We are aware of the bureaucratic shortfalls, but also of the positive ones you mentioned in your cost of living video. We think we will be happy there. I have been down there 7 times and agree on your SC beach assessment:) Thanks again for your post!

I'm from Floripa (Florianópolis) and I enjoyed your video a lot. All the information you presented is correct and based on official data. I would add the Santa Catarina people (catarinenses) are very proud of our state, culture, traditions, education and the high standard of living we came to for the hard labour and this is what we distinguish from the other Brazilian states. Some of our cities like Florianopolis have one of the highest technological development in Brazil.

I live in a Metropolitan área of São Paulo, I lived in Balneário Camboriú, (my famíily still lives there), Itajaí and Joinville, If you like beachs less expensive, you can try Itapema, or Navegantes, or the beachs btw Joinville and Navegantes, or the beachs btw Balneário Camboriú and Florianópolis, like Bombinhas, Porto Belo, they are amazing. Santa Catarina is a very particular state, where we have snow on the mountains and heat on the Beach. Enjoy It and welcome to Brazil.

YES. Santa Catarina is the best place in the world. Few know this.

Very nice description and overview. Thank you! Looking forward to scouting SC.

Moving this year to Vila Maria or some say Nova Veneza! Can't wait. The country side is perfect for a Wisconsin farm boy. Thanks for the video. Very informative

Campos do Jordão e Petropolis tambem é um ótimo lugar alem de ter um bom clima . 🍂🍂👌

Very informative video, thank you for putting it together under 12 minutes

Excellent overview, balanced and precise. I'm not from Santa Catarina, but it is my favorite as well. Also, great people. Extremely friendly.

I think Detroit, Oakland, Memphis have way higher crime rate

Looking forward to visiting Santa Catarina soon. Thanks for making me appreciate Brazil through your eyes.

You mentioned about beach life. Outside summer, the cold Antartic current can flow north at any time, and this only comes to an end when it reaches São Paulo state (which is tropical year round). However, most tourists to Brasil go in summer (to get away from the Northern winter), so I suppose therefore that your narrative about Florianópolis is relevant and useful. My personal tip for security enables you to enjoy anywhere in Brasil - dress down, even as a pedreiro with paint spotted old clothes - after all, who do you want to impress? What benefits is it going to bring you???

I married a Brazilian too and she is from Curitiba. I loved living in Brazil 2 years and agree SC is the best state. I would like to invest in some beach and mountain/farm property, what are some good ways to find properties? Can you do a video of the search engines you use to find your properties? Muito Obrigado.

I love Santa Catarina state 🥰🥰🤗👍🏻😉‼️

Grattis! Bra jobbat! Jag bor i en stad som blev koloniserade av svenskar på 1891. Ijuí RS. Några städer runt omkring finns det fortfarande svenskättlingar Hälsningar Eduardo Beckman

Santa Catarina é muito bom de morar, sim o estado mais seguro disparado, pq vc nao conta so taxa de homicidio, raramente alguem é assaltado aqui, você pode andar denoite tranquilamente. Sim todo o lugar que se torna desejado, o custo aumenta. Varios e varios indices de qualidade de vida Santa Catarina esta no topo ou no pódio.

Yes, is one of the best states in terms of quality of life The south of Brazil is the best region of the country, Rio Grande do Sul and Paraná are also awesome I am from Rio Grande do Sul, but I am from the far south, the ugliest part, close to the border with Uruguay I already visited Florianopolis and Curitiba, and both are awesome, I felt safe, lots of beautiful things, chill vibe I want to live in Santa Catarina, maybe not Florianopolis, I think the countryside has a cheaper cost of living

Bro I like your video and all explained

Flott video! Jeg har også veldig sansen for SC, med flott natur og strender samt europeisk innflytelse og kultur. Vi har en del til felles ser jeg - jeg kommer ifra Norge og har brasiliansk kone (ifra Parana) og en datter :-). Vi bodde i Brasil i 2017, men bor nå i Norge. Liker kanalen din, mye bra og informative videoer!

This man convinced me to consider moving to Santa Catarina in ELEVEN minutes…

Talk more about the backland of our state, please. It s an amazing place to live too.

Thank you

A beautiful place would love to live there .. how can some locate here from overseas?

Hi I really enjoy you making videos . I’m from usa , my gf is Brazilian, we are considering moving Santa Catarina. What do you recommend to learn Portuguese?

Ate there any towns on tbe beach that have no high-rise building. A place where someone would actually want to live all year ,raise a family.

I am native of santa Catarina, this is a good place to live

eu te conheço suecoooo! braboooo

Santa Catarina é um estado maravilhoso, Florianópolis é minha cidade favorita! (Santa Catarina is a wonderful state, Florianópolis is my favorite city!)

Check that scandanavian gesticulation.

If i want to buy a house in santa catarina, i saw for about 200k Euro really nice houses there. What costs do i have to expect when buying property ?

Meet a Brazilian in Ireland who was from there.

The Best Capital of Brazil : easily Florianópolis!! The Best State of Brazil: São Paulo, by a large margin to the second ranked ...... The Best Cities of Brazil : Maringá, SJ do Rio Preto or Indaiatuba Floripa is the best capital cuz it combines nature, city, and development in one place... it's just like the paradise.. São Paulo "State" is not posible to compare to any other.... just take a road trip from São josé dos Campos to Presidente Prudente (640kms) and the level of development and infrastructure around there is well above the rest, even Santa Catarina would need decades of investments to reach that level..... The mentioned cities as the best ,,, is more about the numbers......

I love the mix between nature and cities on the coast of Santa Catarina, like Florianópolis, Itajaí, Bmboinhas, Porto Belo, Balneário Camboriú, Itapema, Balneário Piçarras, Penhas, etc. But the best quality of life in Santa Catarina is found in the small towns, such as Pomerode, Treze Tílias, São Miguel do Oeste, Joaçaba, Timbó, Itá, among others.

What city do you live in South Brazil?

my state Santa Catarina is the best in the world

If Brazil was entirely like this it would be great but half of the population has no access to proper sanitation and more than 30 million Brazilians have no drinkable water not to mention extreme poverty in rural north and northeast beside the favelas.

SC has the highest % of gun ownership in Brazil, last time I checked. That's awesome.

Nice video bro congratulations, you gain 2 followers me and my wife

Why nobody is talking about climate in Brazil? The only thing that I know and dislike about Brazil it is that it is very wet, hot with very high humidity. What area is dryer there?

There were 596 homicides in Santa Catarina in 2022 and its population was around 7,800,000 which gives a homicide rate of around 7/100,000 people. The safest state in Brazil is São Paulo with a homicide rate of 6/100,000. I don't know what year the map you showed about homicide rate in the states of Brazil was made, but I'm using the informations contained in the 2022 Census.

Santa Catarina has 7.8 million people (Previa Senso 2022).

Só brasileiros nesse vídeo

Não tenho esse conhecimento .

The state of Espírito Santo is a mixture of Santa Catarina (similar colonization) and Rio de Janeiro, but I love Santa Catarina and not necessarily Floripa.

I like the video. But the language spoken by majority of people is portuguese. Nice video

Is there a way we can email? I have some questions for you.

O melhor estado do Brasil é Ceará 🇧🇷❤

Have you been anywhere else in Brasil?

Если бы вся Бразилия последовала за штатами Санта-Катарина,Парана,Риу-Гранди-ду-Сул в обустройстве территории и в инвестировании в человеческий капитал,то Бразилия уже давно бы входила в число самых развитых стран мира!

This is great place to retire Thank you

I love your videos talking about Brazil......Really, Really nice....It would be Really amazing if could you show other parts of the country....I believe there are thousand of wonderful places in this country........like Lençóis Maranhenses , Bonito in Mato Grosso do Sul , there are really nice cities in the countryside of São Paulo, for example....There is a fantastic Train ride from Curitiba to the coast in Paraná, one of the most beautiful we have here , The beaches in Fortaleza , Recife and Alagoas , also in the northeast of São Paulo , Also in the city of São Paulo there are a lot of interesting things to see , like , the beauty of Mata Atlântica , in the city of São Paulo we have ,Museu do Ipiranga , Jardim Botânico. The Subway system ,is very clean , it's one of the best in the world..São Paulo - Zona Sul is so beautiful. In Minas Gerais ,there are a lot of historic cities , like Ouro Preto and others. The of Natal with dunes. Cataratas do Iguaçu in the south , Pantanal , The Amazon jungle , and so forth...you could also speak some portuguese for the people who don't understand English .It would be really nice my friend. I this country has a lot of bad things , but it also has a lot of wonderful things ....the people, the landscape, the culture , and also the kindness and friendliness of brazilians is incomparable...well ,that's it....please continue making those vídeos. I like them so much. Thanks my friend for everything. You've done a good job.... Congratulations. !!!!

The population in Santa Catarina is 7.700 million people*

it would be great if it wasn't a part of brazil, sadly

And i think also viking

Are the beaches that are not appropriate for swimming is that have to do with bacteria due to sewage runoff?

I guess you know Portuguese, a respeito das inundações.???

Santa Catarina is good, but Sao Paulo is still the first. I'm a proud "Paulista" (born in the State of Sao Paulo) and "Paulistano" (who was born in the Sao Paulo City)... Our countryside cities are the best in south america.

Yes, I agree with you, my state is definitely the best state in Brazil due to the vast european heritage and civilized people, clean and gorgeous cities, it's quite unlikely to see cities with such quality elsewhere in Brazil.

São Paulo: more jobs, best roads, developed agriculture and cities and more entertainment options.

Can you unpack the crime a little bit more? Are those homicides related to gang violence, perhaps?

How would WW3 affect Brazil? Would BRICS alliance compel Brazil to participate?

Yes. Is Santa Catarina the best State in Brazil. Even Brazilians from other states and regions of the country recognize this. "It's Brazil that worked", as they say. Wealthy, safe state (with very low crime), polite people and indescribable natural beauties that you can only find in Santa Catarina in the south of Brazil. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MKGIS06Idjw.html

Nop! Is Pernambuco 😎

Stop with the hands already it is distracting Otherwise enjoyed your presentation

Where are you from

Portugal is The best.

Figueirense is the most popular team

Never

Not at all all, São Paulo country is the best and most rich part of Brazil, the diference is like South but there is job here, unlike South that have unemployment... But Brasil shock a lot of people because here the country have more GDP per capita, infraestructure and quality of life than the great cities like Campinas is better than São Paulo on jobs, a Lot of agro industries that manufacted the comodities, and country of Brazil is not country of Argentina or México, you can find transport, tracted water, industry and universities living side by side with cattle, South is good but not jobs, try São Paulo and Minas Gerais there is a lot of jobs and are more safe than South

🇺🇸👆the best

😂😂😂, best of the world Santa Catarina 😂😂😂😂, no way

No

If you're white, Santa Catarina is definitely the best. (Or really anywhere down south)

AMERICA is an entire continent since 1507, composed of 35 countries, officially discovered and named in the South, more precisely in Brazil, by the Catholics and not by a bunch of Protestants Pilgrims who arrived in the American continent centuries later and didn't spend a cent on the enterprise of the discovery of America. Just read the history. Here is a good opportunity. "The name America (applied to present-day Brazil) appeared for what is believed the first time on Martin Waldseemüller's 1507 world map, known as the Baptismal Certificate of the New World, and also America's Birth Certificate." ... America and American refer to the discovery, conquest and colonisation of the American continent by the Catholics. It will never be a country. And the Germans were not immigrants, they are in Brazil since the time of the discovery, they were colonisers and the yellow colour of the Brazilian and German flags represent the House of Habsburg. Empress Leopoldine von Habusburg an Austrian/German Empress was also Empress of Brazil during the XVIII century and she is buried in the Imperial Cript in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The Spanish never had presence in Brazil. They had presence in the Hispanic America and United States, a former Spanish possession and colony for centuries before the arrival of the Protestants.

Bull. Nobody speaks german in Blumenau.

Welcome to the best state. Im from SC, Criciuma, south of the state, and here we call the Brazillian Texas. But in Brazil you will not have free of speech, we are living ind a dictatorship, so, take care.

Yes santa catarina o pior Estado da regiao sul do brasil é Rio grande do sul. Minha opiniao.Nao gosto.

delete this

NO IT IS NOT the best state in Brasil These states in the south are more expensive than others The ocean water is freezing by my standards vs the north of Brasil and not enjoyable IF you want to do a lot of swimming, you can't Especially Florianopolis, the population increases 3x in the summer - Dec to May. Summer rentals can be r$500+ $100 per DAY Many beach towns GO TO SLEEP in the winter. Many restaurants and stores close for 6 months Nice place to visit but not to live long term The NORTH of Brasil is much more enjoyable for full time living I am talking about Fortaleza, Recife, Maceio, Salvador etc WARM ocean waters all year round, great for swimming (except for Recife where sharks regularily eat tourists) You can swim there but not in real deep water out near the reefs where the sharks live There ARE nice beaches without sharks nearby too The NORTH is much cheaper as far as cost of living and with real estate You can buy a 2br apto for r$110,000 reais in many places in the north, that is $22,000 usd ! A NO BRAINER

First to be here. Am preparing on moving to Brazil from Nigeria. Great Information. Please how can I reach out to you on instagram or telegram?

Hundreds of thousands people are in bad shape. Homeless everywhere

The problem with Santa Catarina is the right-wing political tendencies. I dread going there, people can be very racist and violent

yes

I can são it is beautiful but it is the most racist estate in Brazil so if you are black you are not very welcomed.

The worst state in Brazil.

😂😂😂😂😂😂 Ohhh hell no no no no
