Laguna
Santa Catarina, Brazil
Municipality of Santa Catarina state, Brazil. It lies in southern Brazil, where winters are genuinely cold and summers are the high season.
Why visit: Ouro Preto, Paraty and Olinda — gold-rush and colonial towns of baroque churches and painted houses, several UNESCO-listed.
- ›Walk the cobbled centre in the early morning before the heat
- ›Go inside the churches — the gold-leaf baroque interiors are the point
- ›Stay a night; the day-trip crowds leave by evening
- ›Wear shoes with grip, as the cobbles are steep and polished
