São Joaquim
The little town of São Joaquim lies high in the Serra do Rio do Rastro, an offshoot of the Serra Geral, 76km/47mi south-east of Lages and 288km/179mi south-west of Florianópolis. Its foundation is attributed to Manoel Joaquim Pinto of São Paulo, although it is known that some farmers had already established themselves in the area. São Joaquim is famed for its productive fruit orchards and for its occasional snowfalls between July and September, when the temperature can drop below freezing point. The Festival de Inverno (Winter Festival) is celebrated here in the first half of July, and the Festa Nacional da Maçã (National Apple Festival) in the first two weeks of April.
