Beto Carrero World

Santa Catarina


Latin America's biggest amusement park. Attractions are divided among nine themed areas and include plenty of high-adrenaline roller coasters (such as the FireWhip, which reaches speeds of nearly 100km per hour) and other rides spread over 14 sq km.

The park is located in Penha and is most easily and often visited from Balneário Camboriú, 35km to the south.
