In Serra da Boa Vista, the landscape invites you to see the terrain on a different scale. The viewpoint is a landmark for taking in valleys and mountains in the part of Rancho Queimado connected to the BR-282 highway.
A viewpoint along the road
The regional portal places the Mirante da Serra da Boa Vista alongside the highway and highlights the area's elevation of over 1,200 meters. For visitors, the experience begins with visibility: clouds, fog, and light can completely transform the view. A photograph under clear skies records a particular moment and does not guarantee the same horizon on another date.
The 2024 addition
In July 2024, the Government of Santa Catarina announced the opening of the panoramic glass platform at the viewpoint. Its official announcement describes a structure with a total area of 800 square meters that extends out over the mountain landscape. The project added a viewing structure to a place already associated with enjoying the scenery.
Different access points in the same area
The Serra da Boa Vista landscape, the glass platform and other areas nearby have different access arrangements. The platform’s specific listing on Visite Floripa states that admission is charged for the walkway. Check the price and hours for the date of your visit. Before setting off, confirm where to arrive, stay in authorized areas and follow the signs.
A moment to take it in
Give yourself time to look at the layers of terrain and the way light changes your sense of distance. If you want to take photographs, do so from a safe stopping place, without using unsuitable road shoulders or obstructing traffic. Let the weather forecast and road conditions help guide the timing of your visit. The appeal lies in discovering the mountains this way, with something different to notice each time.
