Things to do nearby
Florianópolis, an island city nicknamed Brazil's tech hub, draws nomads for dozens of beaches, a growing coworking scene, and a lower cost of living than São Paulo or Rio.
Lagoa da Conceição — lakeside nomad hub, cafes, coworking, nightlife
Centro — downtown transit hub, historic, practical base
Jurerê Internacional — upscale beach enclave, quieter, resort feel
Canasvieiras — budget-friendly north-shore beach, more local
Getting around
An island city best covered by car or scooter since buses between beaches are slow and infrequent; Uber is widely used; airport is 20-30 minutes from Lagoa/Centro.

About
Pangea's three-week coworking chapter in Florianópolis, on Brazil's Santa Catarina island; the trip is confirmed. Accommodation not included — book separately (Pangea helps you find a place). The pass covers the community side: events and dinners, a local host and orientation, and a WhatsApp group. A coworking space isn't included either; Pangea points you to the best spots. Registration is on Luma, and the host approves each application. Disclosure: Caroline Lupini, who runs colivingDB, is part of the Pangea team.
