The Project Long live Monte Serrat is a true gem in Florianópolis, revealing the fascinating stories and lush landscapes of Monte Serrat. Created in 2021, the project was born with the aim of promoting local culture and nature, generating income and recognition for the region's residents through Community-Based Tourism.
They offer three tourist itineraries that go beyond natural beauty, providing enriching and transformative experiences. With Viva Monte Serrat, you will be guided by Hosts from the community itself, who will share stories of overcoming, resistance, and faith, all told with the stunning landscape of Floripa as a backdrop.
In a city full of attractions like Florianópolis, what makes Monte Serrat so special? The answer lies in the rich history of the Morro Monte Serrat community, marked by resilience, joy, unity, and a deeply rooted culture.
From the 19th century, when slaves seeking freedom found refuge in the region, to the transformations of the 20th century, when the central population was displaced to the outskirts, Monte Serrat became a symbol of perseverance and community development. The creation of the Lúcia Mayvorne School, the Embaixada Copa Lord Samba School, and the Foundation of the Monte Serrat Community Council are just a few examples of the notable achievements of this community. Iconic figures such as Dona Uda Gonzaga, the first black woman from the hill to become a teacher, and Father Vilson, a defender of social rights, citizenship, and faith, are also part of this rich history.
Viva Monte Serrat offers three different itineraries:
The Viva Monte Serrat Project invites you to go beyond the obvious and enjoy a unique experience in Florianópolis, where each step reveals a new chapter of overcoming and unity. Come and be enchanted and transform your view of Floripa!
