One million Argentines head to the island

Ferreira sums up the forecast with one piece of information. “The Florianópolis authorities have already informed that they are only expected to be on the island One million Argentines This season, especially in the north Canasvieiras, English “And this whole area,” he says. A large part of this occupation has been captured Agencies and Real estate Who bought apartments and hotels several months in advance.

The other leg of prosperity is Contact. For the first time there will be Direct flights to Florianópolis from Five Argentine cities: Buenos Aires, Cordoba, Rosario, Salta and Tucuman. The airport not only feeds the island, but also destinations such as Camboriu And other beaches of Santa Catarina, which doubles the flow of visitors.

In this context, the classic “I come and see” strategy loses its appeal. Ferreira recalls that there were years when it was advisable to arrive without accommodation because there was plenty of availability and it could be negotiated at the destination. “Now the opposite will happen. You’ll end up staying further away from the beach and paying more if you don’t book in advance,” he says.

Canasvieiras and beaches for every profile

Ferreyra was pinned in CanasvieirasIt is the region where Argentine tourism has been concentrated for some time, especially from Cordoba. “This is the beach that Argentines visit the most,” he points out. The climate, sea type and services make it a reference for families looking for comfort and everything that is within reach.

When you think about your own routine, you define yourself as “more adept at doing it.” Beaches with calm waves And not much open sea.” He stresses that the island offers options for all tastes. “We also have a lot of beaches such as Joaquina, Mall, Barra da Lagoa, Praia Brava, English“Which tend to have more waves,” he describes, indicating the difference between family spas and places more sought after by those who want a more intense beach life.

he North of the islandWith warmer seas and plenty of infrastructure, most of the Argentinian flow is concentrated, especially those arriving by car or on direct flights from Cordoba and Rosario.

In the interview, Ferreira said that today they can use it in different ways Virtual wallets There are also pages that compare in real-time the exchange rate offered by each app.

“In my business, more or less 75 percent Our invoice comes through Pix, 20 percent With credit or debit cards and hardly any 5 percent in cash”.

His experience shows a change in habits: almost everything is solved using a cell phone and banknotes have practically disappeared from the daily scene. It is recommended, in all cases, to carry some money for any specific problem, for example at service stations or unexpected events on the road.

As for the budget, draw some references for Family of the Cordoba species Who wants to be near the sea. “Ideal for One-bedroom apartmentis the payment between 500 and 550 riyals per daysomething like that $100 Depending on the change, and from there on up 700 riyalsIt is determined “by location and services.” Those who booked in advance received those values; Later, as demand rises, prices can rise.

Take for example Milkwho came to meet 3.80 riyals And now it’s all over 4.39 to 4.80 riyalsIt is mentioned that A Pizza It starts at approx 50 riyals And it can reach 110While one Hamburger It goes from approx From 35 to 70 riyals In its most complete version. “It’s not cheap, but there hasn’t been an explosion in prices like the one Argentina experienced,” he compares.

Routes, timetables and final recommendation of the Cordobans

Aside from direct flights, many Cordoba residents continue to choose flights car Travel to Florianópolis. There, Ferreira focuses on organizing the trip. He says there are many families who plan to arrive at noon, but end up entering the island at midnight, tired and without secure accommodation.

His suggestion is clear: Plan A midnightfor example in Saint Gabrieland face the final stage early to reach the island during the day with a margin to resolve any unexpected events. In the section between Saint Gabriel and Porto AlegreHistorically burdened by work and heavy traffic, she notes that work and signage have progressed, although she insists on the need to drive with patience because a lot of traffic is expected in Border crossings And the roads.

The final message to the Cordoba public is a mixture of enthusiasm and caution. “Let them come calmly, because there is expected to be a better season than the previous one and Florianópolis is still a good equation. Warm sea, many different beaches and good infrastructure. But don’t leave everything until the last minute. Book before“Reviewing the route well and taking advantage of new tools, live flights, apps and pix is ​​the difference between an organized summer and a summer full of bullfights.”
