38/ Santa Catarina State, Brazil
Returning to the South American area, this state is known for its mountains and beaches. Another cultural melting pot, this state welcomes its diverse cultural influences: the German inspiration can find the German inspiration in Blumenau, which hosts an annual Oktoberfest parade and a Beer Museum!
The history museum in Florianopolis, another town in the state, is housed in the 19th-century colonial governor's palace. Visit the Sao Joaquim National Park to see a pristine and preserved property that the state has spent time conserving for tourists to enjoy.
