Balneário Camboriú: City Skyline & Unipraias Park Cable Car

Ride the spectacular coastal cable car at Unipraias Park above Balneário Camboriú — Brazil's 'Little Miami' — soaring over twin beaches and a lush hillside reserve with panoramic views of the Atlantic. A glamorous, unmistakably Brazilian urban spectacle.

What to expect

The gondola departs from Praia Central in the heart of buzzing Balneário Camboriú and glides silently over a forested hillside reserve before depositing you at Praia Laranjeiras, an otherwise road-inaccessible beach of extraordinary beauty. The 12-minute crossing offers unobstructed views of the city's striking high-rise skyline backdropped by the deep-blue Atlantic — a photograph that stops scrolling every time. At Laranjeiras, a wooden boardwalk leads through lush coastal vegetation to a lookout platform; the adventurous can opt for the park's adrenaline zip-line return. The town itself rewards an hour's leisurely stroll along its sweeping promenade.
