The itinerary from Porto Alegre to Florianopolis is really great. A few comments:
. from Timbé do Sul to São José dos Ausentes is a dirt road very nice (serra da Rocinha), but a bit remote. Be sure it has not rained.
. from São José dos Ausentes to Bom Jardim da Serra is also a gravel road and extremely nice. Be sure to get the tips on where to make the turns on the road to see the canions, very beautiful. Nice inns as well. Let me know if you would like to explore this area and I´ll give you additional tips.
. in the vicinity of Cambará do Sul there are some very nice canions (Fortaleza and Itaimbezinho), don´t miss them.
. from Bom Jardim da Serra to Lauro Muller you will go down the awesome serra do Rio do Rastro. It is worth going down and then up again, the views are quite different. If you choose to do so, then from Bom Jardim you could go to Urubici. The road is just beautiful, nice curves, you´ll have a ball. From Urubici, go down serra do Corvo Branco (gravel) really very nice (don´t miss morro da Igreja and Pedra Furada, right next to Urubici, on the way to Corvo Branco).
. going down Corvo Branco you will get to Braco do Norte and then back to the original route. I think it is worth the detour, this is one of my favourites riding spots in Brazil.
Good luck,
Fernando
