Tijucas

Tijucas is a coastal municipality in Santa Catarina that spreads across flat terrain, with the Tijucas River running through it. Development follows the BR 101 highway, creating a mix of residential areas, craft workshops, and farmland throughout the region.

The settlement gained official municipality status in 1860, transforming from a small port into a thriving agricultural and craft region. European immigration in the 1800s shaped both its architecture and economic development.

Pottery making remains woven into daily life here, with artisan families continuing techniques passed down through generations. You can visit workshops to see how this traditional craft still thrives in the community.

The BR 101 highway is the main route connecting Tijucas to other coastal towns, making orientation straightforward for visitors. Having a vehicle helps explore the scattered workshops and residential areas spread throughout the municipality.

The Feast of the Holy Spirit takes place annually at the Matriz Church, bringing the community together for traditional ceremonies. This local festival reveals the strong religious and social bonds that shape life in this place.
