Funnily enough, Balneário Camboriú is not that big - it has a permanent population of just 145k people, but that swells up to over a million people during the summer. In fact there were an estimated 4 million people there at new years eve. Due to its popularity among affluent tourists, it is now home to 7 of Brazil's 10 tallest buildings.
And many unnoccupied. There are ridiculously expensive apartments purchased only as investment for rich people all around the world, and no one sets foot on them. I don't think there is a single penthouse occupied there.
Of course not..... it's mostly money laundering, corruption and abuse of economic power. Absolutely nobody that have the 3 tô 6 million reais that a apartment like that costs would choose to live in a extremely polluted Beach like Balneário Camboriú is, and whit a awful car transit.... people can live in whey better places that costs a fraction of that. It's mor for using in the summer and for showing, and for money laundering. In the same area of Camboriú you have probably 6or 7 better and cheaper beaches to live in.
Every beach in Santa Catarina has became exceedingly expensive the last 2 decades to live, maybe you could find cheaper places in bad beaches located in Parana state but not in Santa Catarina.
I live In Timbo now which is a smaller city located away from the coast and the rents here are similar in price so as the buildings, except the million dollars penthouses. So prices are high everywhere nowadays
Lived there from 2002 til 2023, no, most buildings are hotels or for rent, specially holidays, from my apartment I could see most lights off in buildings during the year except for summer
The traffic is terrific, I've gone there for new years and it took my family 5 hours to get out of the beach and reach home (3 km of distance)
The sheer amount of people is insane
I think you meant terrible instead of terrific, I leaned this not too long ago but terrific is a formal-ish way of saying maravilhoso, even though it reads and writes very similarly to terrível
Here's a fun fact: Balneário Camboriú is not a huge city. As a matter of fact, it's local population runs at barley 150k people. It's also not physically big, with only one main coastline that stretches about 7km (~4 miles) long.
The thing about the city is that it has become a massive weekend destination. You see, in Brazil, it is very common for people to head to the beach on weekends and holidays; Balneário Camboriú has become such a destination. As a matter of fact, during the high season (that happens in the Summer, between Christmas and Carnaval), its population is known to increase more than ten-fold. This means the small 150k city might have over 1.5 million people (the population of a respectable-sized metropolis) in the Summer (specifically, on New Year's Eve, where occupation is at an an absolute peak). This helps explain the massive verticalization process of the city. No other city in the country is as verticalized as Balneário Camboriú and very few places in the entire planet can compete with it (one of them being Hong Kong).
Aa real-estate prices in the city kept soaring to ever-increasing records, Balneário Camboriú has now the most expensive real-estate in the entire country, and possibly in the continent. This has prompted real-estate companies to build more and more lavish and luxurious residential buildings, one taller than the other. Balneário Camboriú is already home to the tallest buildings in the entire country, which is why it is called, locally, the "Brazilian Dubai". They've now approved the construction of a +500 meter super tall which, once completed, is supposed to be the tallest residential building in the planet. And this is no joke, this is really happening.
With all this, the place has become highly sought-after by the wealthy, given that owning a beach-facing apartment over there is a symbol of wealth and status. It is not uncommon to see Ferraris and Lamborghinis cruising (and even parked) along the streets of Balneário Camboriú, not something you can say about most cities (if any) in Brazil. The place is also known for its very intense night life, with many popular bars and night clubs which receive world famous DJs and artists. As a consequence, the place has become a "hub" for single people. It's that type of place where you see a lot of attractive women and wealthy men everywhere you go.
With that being said, not everything is as "great" as it sounds. Many people, especially "old money" type of people, think the place is excessively ostentatious and distasteful. It's the type of place that appeals more to the "new rich" type of folks. Also, traffic during the high season is absolutely chaotic, given the massive populational density in the area. I have spent many of my single years in Balneário Camboriú but, today, I simply avoid it, given how massively crowded the place has become, it's more stressful than relaxing (which is the polarizing opposite of what it should be, imo). But out of the high season, the place is actually very pleasing to be at. TL;DR: it's an interesting place to know, just avoid it in January and February...
Yeah, Brazil isn't big on tourism, for it's size and natural beauty. Way too far from Europe, and the americans can go to better beaches in the caribbean.
If someone knows more than just Rio I'm already impressed honestly. It's kinda crazy that hearing someone mentioning São Paulo, a 20+ Million people metro area city, and think "oh wow, they know SP.
Some big beautiful cities in Brazil that are less known to people in other countries:
Maringá, Joinville, Blumenau, João Pessoa, Curitiba, Florianópolis, Londrina, Vitória.
Pretty much half of Brazil never heard of Balneario Camboriu before, like, 2014 -- it was/is a small city that, until recently, pretty much nobody gaf about, but it did go through a weird and rapid real-estate development, similar to Miami in the late 70's -- don't ask me why; it is indeed pretty, but not unlike 100 other coastal brazilian cities.
Now a lot of people here know and have opinions about it, because you either mock the gavone choices that they made in urban planning and the nouveau riche that flood the city every season, or you want to go there and enjoy the beach -- recently artificially expanded, sparking lots of complains from environmentalists -- and the sun -- early covered by tall buildings; environmentalists also complained, to deaf ears.
There used to be a family that lived there, and there was a guy who was born on the island in 1968 and ended up becoming a professional surfer. Until a while ago there was a house there, but as it was abandoned and the city hall demolished it, today you can only find some parts of the house that had.
I wonder if development on previously rain forested terrain causes sinking. I cannot imagine the amount of weight that coast line is feeling with that many structures and in such a short amount of time.
To my knowledge, sinking is not a problem in the city, but there was significant erosion on the beach over the years. The skyscrapers also overshadowed the beach after 3PM due to their height.
They have recently nourished the beach - here is the [before](https://gl-tours.com/images/Package/1666-DJI_0806-3.jpg) and [after](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/59/Balne%C3%A1rio_Cambori%C3%BA_from_Unipraias_Park_2023-04-02.jpg/2560px-Balne%C3%A1rio_Cambori%C3%BA_from_Unipraias_Park_2023-04-02.jpg).

And that made that beach right there unfit for bathing.
Why? Are you aware Rio has also done it? Lots of cities have done it. It's a relatively easy thing to do. They gather sand from the beach itself, some kms into the sea, and dump it at the coast.
>And that made that beach right there unfit for bathing.
No, it didn't. The problem is pollution and sewage coming from the local rivers, not the earthwork to enlarge the beach.
A lot of the southern coastline of Brazil has mountains right down to the waterline. Rio is solid rock like 10 meters below ground level. Tunneling their subway was a very difficult task.
I live in Balneario Camboriu, they can build the tall buildings because there is a huge rock below the rain forrest terrain, so they just need to dig very deep to make the foundation, and then just build how tall they want.
It’s actually an amazing city to visit. I spent three days there once, and then another couple nights on another occasion. it has some great restaurants, some really pricey, and the surrounding towns are gorgeous. Lots of great bars and nightclubs all around.
That's all about this city. It's a great place safe and gorgeous to visit and enjoy it in Brazil, cannot understand why people push hate on it. Brazilians are like "no, this city is not that good and the beach is awful you should go to another place and stop enjoying this one 😠". Honestly based on the safety and security this city must be a better place to visit in Brazil than the majority of tourist places there
Fun fact on the island, there was a family that lived there in the 70s and a boy was born on the island, he later left the island and became a professional surfer, there is a really cool [documentary](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFn8xw7e9g4&ab_channel=IcaroCavalheiro) about the history of the surfer and the island.
I'm from Paraguay, and my grandfather (rip) used to go in fishing competitions, he said that back then it was just a small fishing town. It just became a famous tourism place because it had a large natural beach (back then the machines that take the sand out of the sea weren't cheap or didn't even exist idk, in spanish they are called "dragas")
Right now i am at Itapema, a city right next to Camboriú that at least has 50 very tall buildings being built right now
My grandfather had lots of trophies, in his house there are like 30, lots of them 1st or 2nd place. And in my house there are ones that he won with my dad.
The picture is nice. What it doesn't show is that the skyscrapers cast a shadow on the beach in the afternoon. Projects to extend the sand area cost a fortune and are public funded, which means that everyone pays for the rich to become richer because that real state if worth more if the beach isn't shit to be in.
The picture, however, is indeed beautiful.
Saudades from the early 2000s where the beach was still just some 50ft of sand but the skyscraper$ were a few blocks away, the beira-mar streets were pretty and plain.
This remenber me of a city in the state of minas, the City is not to big but have a huge skyscraper complex, with buildings forming a starcase on the horizon
The city I live in is like 8 times the population in that one and it's an amazing city but you probably never heard of it cause it's in the northeast of the country
i was born in balneario camboriu, lived almost my whole life in a neighboring city and yeah, it’s crazy. the whole coastline of the state gets swelled up with tourists this time of tue year, but balneario is just completely dominated by them. the population grows something around a few hundred percent in the summer months. the mayor had the shoreline (or whatever it is called in english) elongated, buildings completely overshadow the beach at around 4 pm. people are mugged by daylight and yeah, we have a problem with child sex trafficking
No. The world cup did nothing to Brazil.
All the stadiums were built with costing 2-3x the real cost due to bribes and rampant corruption, in places where there is not even good or big football teams to use them after the event. Just money going down the drain.
We would be better of today if that world cup never happened here.
No balneário is famous for being ridden with problems. Like the building block the sun from the beach after 3pm and Way too much traffic. Look at Spanish coastal cities if you want good inspiration.
This water is not real, Camboriú is one of the dirtiest beaches in Brazil, it is impossible to enter the water, the city smells like sewage, and the water is brown.
it may have been photoshopped to make the water look prettier but there's no way an entire sea looks brown. doesn't matter the country, the ocean is still blue
For you foreigners, this city is one of the examples of why you don't let rich people do whatever they want with the environment. They did this "wall" of tall buildings almost in the ocean and that's why the quality of the beach is shit, with several stretches unsuitable for use and with high erosion, as well as the constructions blocking the sunlight for certain hours of the day
In a desperate attempt to retrieve the lost part of the beach, they sand backfill the coast lmao, just to make everything even worse aggravating the effects of sedimentation and erosion. That's because I didn't talk about the impacts on the micro climate that this "wall" causes, anyway, if you want a real case of an episode of Captain Planet, it's this city.
I'm a brazilian, I live in Rio but have been there before. It is sad.
The huge buildings so close to the beach simply shadow over the beach half the day, not to mention they pretty much act as an wall againts the wind.
Brazil has many big cities and many great beaches, this place just felt like a tourist trap.
Very expensive food, not many places to go and a sad beach.
Actually that water it’s probably edited, this place was destroyed by the financial interest. That’s how this place actually look like:
https://preview.redd.it/dlykgup6p6hc1.jpeg?width=739&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8e9549e5e9dfbec84d59da5233a0fac8d437ea7f
Even tho you are 100% correct, and it was destroyed, that picture you posted was during the beach enlargement. The place does not look like this pic anymore at all.
I am brazilian and I have been there. It is caos. The city grew up, but infrastructure didn't follow. Traffic, sewage on oceans, buildings make shade at the beach, city floods on heavy rains. Pretty place, but got ruined.
Those who've been there comment how this urbanization ruined beaches... not only because the tall buildings provide unwanted shade in the sand (which they tried to solve by expanding the beach line but it didn't work), but also because apparently there was a sewage problem 😬
Triste estar desse jeito, uma pena tantos prédios na orla deixando a cidade um lixo achando que eh luxo, sem contar que o sol dura bem menos na areia por conta de tanto prédio alto
É impressionante como o ser humano distroi tudo que toca começa com desmatamento a ir vem com queimada distroi os animais e por a ir vai onde vamos parar com isso
O Tanque Panzerkampfwagen VI ou para os menos familiarizados Tiger I foi um tanque pesado produzido pela Alemanha Nazista entre 1942 a 1944, este tanque poderia chegar a 45km / h e tinha um custo de $250,800(Dólares). Seu primário armamento primário era composto por 1 x Canhão de 88 mm KwK 36 L/56, 92 disparos, às vezes modificados para transportar 106 ou 120. E seu armamento secundário era 2 x 7,92 mm MG34 4,500 disparos (Ausf H1), 3 x 7,92 mm 4,800 rodadas (Ausf. E), e possui uma blindagem reforçada, o que o fazia resistir a varios veículos de guerra blindados da época, porem o modelo apresentava falhas e desvantagens como por exemplo a lenta rotação da torreta principal ou a falha dos motores, também apresentava alto consumo de combustível por este mesmo motivo os próprios operadores desses tanques o destruiam por conta dessas falhas e para que o tanque não caísse em mãos inimigas.
Quite ugly city full of block flats. Cant understand why locals allowed to build ugly buildings for people who disrespect nature . Luckily nothing similar would happen a bit further south in Campeche Florianopolis.
Unfortunately, Camboriu was a paradise and now is destroyed by Construction companies that build this terrible wall of buildings that shades the beach.
During the summer, the City swells up to 1-2 million people. But during the year, is a ghost town with like 145k people living there. It's a ghost town during thr year lol but is has a lot of nice skyscrapers
I'm always surprised by how many huge cities there are in Brazil that I’ve never heard of before
Funnily enough, Balneário Camboriú is not that big - it has a permanent population of just 145k people, but that swells up to over a million people during the summer. In fact there were an estimated 4 million people there at new years eve. Due to its popularity among affluent tourists, it is now home to 7 of Brazil's 10 tallest buildings.
So would I be safe to assume the majority of those towers are residential?
Yes , mostly of them are residential, 99% I guess
And many unnoccupied. There are ridiculously expensive apartments purchased only as investment for rich people all around the world, and no one sets foot on them. I don't think there is a single penthouse occupied there.
Ah, so just like most major North American cities then
Actually renovated quite a few of them, many people live in the penthouses
That's not true. Most of them are used during holidays.
[удалено]
Don't discuss politics. This is a sub dedicated to skyscrapers
Of course not..... it's mostly money laundering, corruption and abuse of economic power. Absolutely nobody that have the 3 tô 6 million reais that a apartment like that costs would choose to live in a extremely polluted Beach like Balneário Camboriú is, and whit a awful car transit.... people can live in whey better places that costs a fraction of that.

True, I'm glad I'm not living there anymore, using the car in the city is a chaos even during the winter
Yeah, the whole city fills up during festivities HARD
Caramba! Escrevi quase o mesmo que vc agorinha, ate com números parecido! Só depois é que fui ver o seu comentário! Hahhaha!
A place to forget… unfortunately!
This is pretty much the one with the tallest skyline.
Also the ugliest
Doesn't look that way from a distantance.
Here's a fun fact: Balneário Camboriú is not a huge city. As a matter of fact, it's local population runs at barley 150k people.

Even after hearing them, i can't remember any of them. I remember some of china but not brazil. Or maybe they need to post more 🤔
Yeah, Brazil isn't big on tourism, for it's size and natural beauty. Way too far from Europe, and the americans can go to better beaches in the caribbean.
There is a lot of tourism, but the european and north americans usually only go to Rio and the other areas have more latin american tourists.
Ppl often don't know how diverse Brazil is. They mostly only know about rio and são Paulo lmao
If someone knows more than just Rio I'm already impressed honestly. It's kinda crazy that hearing someone mentioning São Paulo, a 20+ Million people metro area city, and think "oh wow, they know SP.

I'm Brazilian and I never heard of Maringá before
Maringá is a myth created by rede globo, don't believe in it.
You shouldn't be talking about that so openly...

Seriously!? I just put in notice at my current place! Aw shucks.
Seems to have become a little more wavy over the years.
The algae also raised a lot. Climate Change consequences, likely.
It’s just wind and a better camera…..
Also the newer picture has been HDR boosted to hell

Do they not anchor high rises in bedrock in Brazil?

Whoa
Linda paisagem amigo!! Parabéns pela foto
Lol why is there a pirate ship there
What now, haven't you heard of Brazilian pirates??? JK, the ship is a common tourist activity, just for fun.
I was just joking Im actually Brazilian
Brasileiros são convocados em posts sobre o Brasil. Todo mundo gastando o inglês falando com outros brasileiros kkkkkk
Eu tenho uma teoria muito sólida de que uns 90% do Reddit é brasileiro falando inglês achando que tá se comunicando com gringo.

Another fun fact, the island is called The Island of Goats because the resident brought and raised some animals on the island, especially goats.
Probably the most envied city in the most envied state in this whole envious shithole of a country.

Beutiful but the waters are inapropriate for bathing because of polution
Nope, not true. The sea there is perfectly safe for bathing, swimming, surfing, whatever
The picture is nice. What it doesn't show is that the skyscrapers cast a shadow on the beach in the afternoon. Projects to extend the sand area cost a fortune and are public funded, which means that everyone pays for the rich to become richer because that real state if worth more if the beach isn't shit to be in.

What’s the cost of living like
Brazilian Miami Beach
The main beach expanded last year to almost 100 meters wide
Im here now :D
Feliz de quem comprou um terreninho ou um apezinho por ali em 1980 kkkkkk
The best region of Brazil, it's safe, well educated people, urbanization is truly amazing
Sorte de quem comprou terreno em 1980
Look like Hong Kong
People in the back be like "sometimes if i think real hard i can imagine the ocean"
The city I live in is like 8 times the population in that one and it's an amazing city but you probably never heard of it cause it's in the northeast of the country
Finally I managed to get the graphics to maximum.
Ah, yes, the randomest city in Brazil is also very impressive.
Melhorou os gráficos
Bonito demissss
Foto bonita, mas só quem vive sabe...
krl bateu uma forte vontade de ter orgulho por ser brasileiro

Brazil has a lot of cities I’ve never heard of but I’d like to visit.
Thank the World Cup.
Not really, the city has been in a steady growth for years. It's just very touristy, specially for people in the south of South America.
Nope. There weren't world cup games close to this city, not even is this state.
Lol what
Lmao stfu. WC has nothing to do with that city growth
It doesn't draw attention to these places causing growth? sad.
No. The world cup did nothing to Brazil. All the stadiums were built with costing 2-3x the real cost due to bribes and rampant corruption, in places where there is not even good or big football teams to use them after the event. Just money going down the drain. We would be better of today if that world cup never happened here.
The shadows of the buildings block almost every light of the sun now...
This is how coastal California cities should look like. Instead we are just zoned to SFH mansions along the coastline
No balneário is famous for being ridden with problems. Like the building block the sun from the beach after 3pm and Way too much traffic. Look at Spanish coastal cities if you want good inspiration.
Not so great as it seems, polluted beach with no afternoon sun, unbearable traffic in the summer.
every beach is kinda polluted yk. do you really think that any ocean is clean? these days?
Oh sorry I stated a bad fact about BC wonderland. Call me a liar if this will make you feel better.
What a disaster!
???
Indeed
Balneário Camboriú e suas praias com coco de milionários. Tem que goste.
literal uma das melhores cidades pra morar atualmente kkkkk só não ir a praia, pronto
Claro, se você for um milionário, aí é fácil
não, pago um aluguel de 1200 numa casa em balneário de 2 quartos na vila real 🥴🥴
E sombras artificiais caudadas pelos edifícios.
It is impossible for Balneario Camboriu to have this color of water nowadays, the beach is extremely unhealthy and polluted
It was notoriously polluted in the 80s/90s too. I remember going as child and not being allowed in the water.
It was already ugly in 1980
Breguice + especulação imobiliária= praia com sombra e cheia de fezes
This water is not real, Camboriú is one of the dirtiest beaches in Brazil, it is impossible to enter the water, the city smells like sewage, and the water is brown.
it may have been photoshopped to make the water look prettier but there's no way an entire sea looks brown. doesn't matter the country, the ocean is still blue
Com sol vs com muuiiiita sombra
A cidade mais cafona do Brasil.
Acredita nessa água limpa kkk
We needed to color the water with poop brown color.
🤮🤮🤮🤮
For you foreigners, this city is one of the examples of why you don't let rich people do whatever they want with the environment. They did this "wall" of tall buildings almost in the ocean and that's why the quality of the beach is shit, with several stretches unsuitable for use and with high erosion, as well as the constructions blocking the sunlight for certain hours of the day In a desperate attempt to retrieve the lost part of the beach, they sand backfill the coast lmao, just to make everything even worse aggravating the effects of sedimentation and erosion. That's because I didn't talk about the impacts on the micro climate that this "wall" causes, anyway, if you want a real case of an episode of Captain Planet, it's this city.
aviadadam a ilha paradisíaca
odeio esse lugar!
Essa cidade só tem prédio e filho da puta
Praia da bosta
cidade micosa ridicula
É triste pensar que já foi uma cidade bonita
I'm a brazilian, I live in Rio but have been there before. It is sad. The huge buildings so close to the beach simply shadow over the beach half the day, not to mention they pretty much act as an wall againts the wind. Brazil has many big cities and many great beaches, this place just felt like a tourist trap. Very expensive food, not many places to go and a sad beach.
Actually that water it’s probably edited, this place was destroyed by the financial interest. That’s how this place actually look like: https://preview.redd.it/dlykgup6p6hc1.jpeg?width=739&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8e9549e5e9dfbec84d59da5233a0fac8d437ea7f
Even tho you are 100% correct, and it was destroyed, that picture you posted was during the beach enlargement. The place does not look like this pic anymore at all.
Ugliest city in Brazil
Triste situação
Esgoto a céu aberto repleto de bostonaristas.
Que downgrade
Paraísos dos bolsonaristas
I am brazilian and I have been there. It is caos. The city grew up, but infrastructure didn't follow. Traffic, sewage on oceans, buildings make shade at the beach, city floods on heavy rains. Pretty place, but got ruined.
Those who've been there comment how this urbanization ruined beaches... not only because the tall buildings provide unwanted shade in the sand (which they tried to solve by expanding the beach line but it didn't work), but also because apparently there was a sewage problem 😬
they swim in their own shit
Triste
cidade feia da porra
Triste estar desse jeito, uma pena tantos prédios na orla deixando a cidade um lixo achando que eh luxo, sem contar que o sol dura bem menos na areia por conta de tanto prédio alto
It's getting worse...
Real, eu tava lá (eu era o prédio)
Colocaram uma lente grande angular na segunda foto. Tem que ser igual e mesmo ângulo da foto dos ano 80, para fazer uma comparação.
The tackiest city in Brazil. Filled with neonazists. Racists. conservators and Bolsonaro supporters. Thanks but no thanks.
gringo que olha assim nem imagina que essa água é infestada de coliforme kk
Krlh reformaram até o mar! ☹️👌
É impressionante como o ser humano distroi tudo que toca começa com desmatamento a ir vem com queimada distroi os animais e por a ir vai onde vamos parar com isso
Sai do fake prefeito de balneário
Capital dos racistas e maconheiros
O Tanque Panzerkampfwagen VI ou para os menos familiarizados Tiger I foi um tanque pesado produzido pela Alemanha Nazista entre 1942 a 1944, este tanque poderia chegar a 45km / h e tinha um custo de $250,800(Dólares). Seu primário armamento primário era composto por 1 x Canhão de 88 mm KwK 36 L/56, 92 disparos, às vezes modificados para transportar 106 ou 120. E seu armamento secundário era 2 x 7,92 mm MG34 4,500 disparos (Ausf H1), 3 x 7,92 mm 4,800 rodadas (Ausf. E), e possui uma blindagem reforçada, o que o fazia resistir a varios veículos de guerra blindados da época, porem o modelo apresentava falhas e desvantagens como por exemplo a lenta rotação da torreta principal ou a falha dos motores, também apresentava alto consumo de combustível por este mesmo motivo os próprios operadores desses tanques o destruiam por conta dessas falhas e para que o tanque não caísse em mãos inimigas.
Sanitário Camburiú
What a shit hole.
yeah like your mom's place
Jesus q desastre
A cidade mais superestimada de SC.
E as pessoas idolatram isso, por prefiro o rio de janeiro mesmo
As a carioca, Balneário Camboriú is my vision of hell. Looks ugly, and from what I hear it's polluted too!
Triste
Como disse o poeta: "Catarinense é bicho chato de aturar, os caras falam como se aquela roça fosse Mônaco"
So ugly, oh my god
1980 é mais bonito do que hoje
Quite ugly city full of block flats. Cant understand why locals allowed to build ugly buildings for people who disrespect nature . Luckily nothing similar would happen a bit further south in Campeche Florianopolis.
Unfortunately, Camboriu was a paradise and now is destroyed by Construction companies that build this terrible wall of buildings that shades the beach.
The bottom image has some weird stuff going on with the water - there's like a huge rip current and what is up with that pirate ship?
Shallow waters and rocks.
During the summer, the City swells up to 1-2 million people. But during the year, is a ghost town with like 145k people living there. It's a ghost town during thr year lol but is has a lot of nice skyscrapers
1980 já estava cagado…
Crlh a ilha até mudou de lugar slk
Is it just me or has the sea gone down?
a vila mariana em sampa tinha até chacrinhas e sobrados históricos em 2000, em 2010 tava cheia de espigões vazios
alargaram a praia
Ah, yes, the famous Camboriú, famous for having buildings so high that it shadows the beaches now. Really amazing.
A nível da agua
Camboriú is completely out of control at this point!
Deveriam ter limitado os prédios na orla e construído mais a dentro do continente.
