The south of Brazil reflects the European influences brought by German and Italian immigrants, particularly apparent in the countryside farms, and in the architecture.

The region's beautiful beaches, mountains, and valleys, are of particular interest to all who visit Brazil's south.

There are few sites in Itajai of touristic interest. You may want to have a look inside the cathedral and then just stroll along the pedestrian street and observe the activities of the locality and its inhabitants.

You may also discover the beauty of the nearby Camboriu, one of Santa Catarina's most visited beach resort centers or explore Blumenau, which is the Itajai Valley's best-known city, and resembles a typical German settlement; with Nordic architecture, and cobblestone streets.
