Marechal Floriano

Marechal Floriano is a municipality in the southeastern highlands of Espírito Santo, located on elevated terrain well inland from the coast. The town sits in a region characterized by cooler temperatures and rural landscapes typical of the Brazilian uplands.

The town became independent from the neighboring municipality of Domingos Martins in 1991 and was named after Floriano Peixoto, Brazil's first vice president. This separation established a new administrative division in the highlands region.

The town centers on orchid farming, a focus that shapes the local economy and identity. You'll notice the region's reputation for growing and selling these flowers to markets across the country.

Temperatures vary throughout the year, typically cooler in the elevated areas and warmer during certain seasons. Visitors should prepare for rural conditions and weather typical of the Brazilian highlands.

The region benefits from a cooler highland climate that stands apart from Brazil's typically humid lowlands. This climatic advantage has enabled the development of specialized farming practices that distinguish the area economically.
